Title: OpenCPN chartplotter navigation
Homepage https://opencpn.org
There are few, if no alternatives. This is a popular chartplotting program for yachts. There are versions for OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.
It is open source link is https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/tree/v4.8.0
Latest version (master) is 4.8.2 dated 2/28/2018
Thank you
There is a snap available (edge version). https://github.com/msis/OpenCPN-snap
But it uses some font that I do not have. It also reports some missing modules:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
YMMV
It's been a month since this has been accepted and marked for needs maintainer. Given nobody has stepped up to provide an accepted patch, marking as wontfix. Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the appropriate process.
Hello all,
I'm a new user of Solus Project and new too in compiling package. I want to try to make an OpenCPN package but i think i need a little help to manage it. Is some one can help me in the first step, please ?
@Girtablulu Thank you for the link.
I already follow these infos and i don't understand the result you can see above.
make build make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /home/jmi/Building/OpenCPN-4.8.4 » sudo solbuild build pspec.xml -p unstable-x86_64; Mot de passe : Failed to load package: open pspec.xml: no such file or directory make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/jmi/Building/OpenCPN-4.8.4 » make abireport make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /home/jmi/Building/OpenCPN-4.8.4 » abireport -p abi_ -D `dirname pspec.xml` scan-packages `dirname pspec.xml` Error locating packages: No packages in directory . make[1]: *** [../Makefile.common:15: abireport] Error 1 make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/jmi/Building/OpenCPN-4.8.4 » make: *** [../Makefile.common:12: complete] Error 2
Can you tell me the right way to make the "pspec.xml" file that is missing ?
Today I try this and it failed as you see.

Do somebody know were is the problem ? I just put /data /docs /include /plugins /po /src and the README file in the tar archive.
@JoshStrobl Hello Josh,
I'm sorry for my stupid questions but i'm a beginner in compiling programs. Can you help me, please?
is it my job to create the file "Makefile" to put in the package or a tool exist to create it from the sources files ?
The script yauto.py gives me an empty package.yml is it normal ?
If i learn how to compile well i cant be maintainer for the OpenCPN package if it can help the SolusProject.
Regards.
Hello @DataDrake
That’s what i wrote an url with file: instruction to link to a local file. Ils it a wrong way to use yauto?
Regards
You need to pass this URL to yauto: https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/archive/v4.8.4.tar.gz.
Tarballs can be found here: https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/releases
@JagdCake thanks to you. I have now a yml file but i bref to learn how to use it. Can you explain me thé way to mâle and compile an application please.
Regards

@JMD We have documentation, I suggest reading it. https://getsol.us/articles/packaging/
As stated in my closing of the task: Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the appropriate process.
I think I am part of the way there, but I am running into an issue, and I am not quite sure I understand the root cause. I have compiled software before, but I am a network engineer, not a software developer, so some of this slips through my fingers.
In my package.yaml, I have the following dependancies:
However, my make fails as follows:
Some or all of the gtk libraries were not found. (missing: GTK2_GTK_LIBRARY GTK2_GTK_INCLUDE_DIR GTK2_GDK_INCLUDE_DIR GTK2_GDK_LIBRARY) Checking for module 'gtk+-3.0' No package 'gtk+-3.0' found Could NOT find GTK3 (missing: GTK3_INCLUDE_DIRS GTK3_LIBRARIES) Building against GTK3... Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS) Could not find wxWidgets webview add-on CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:164 (message): Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS) Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:445 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake:1008 (find_package_handle_standard_args) CMakeLists.txt:1063 (FIND_PACKAGE) Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I am sure I am missing something simple here, and I would very much appreciate a pointer.
The issue is that the OpenCPN cmake system is a bit odd. It detects WxWebview as unavailable, but still sets the build paramater. This paramater seems to be exposed to the command line as well as other variables, but ignores them all.
%cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DOCPN_USE_WEBVIEW=OFF
in the solbuild environment does not work.
The upcoming release changes things around and I could create a patch that harcodes it to OFF in CMakeLists.txt.
It does build and run!
BTW: WxWebview is only used for the About window....
If I have time these coming days I will readup on the package proces (it has been a while) and submit mine for review.
