NMEA converter plugin for OpenCPN
Compiling
You have to be able to compile OpenCPN itself - Get the info at http://opencpn.org/ocpn/developers_manual
- This plugin now builds out of the OpenCPN source tree
git clone git://github.com/RooieDirk/NmeaConverter_pi.git
###Build:
mkdir NmeaConverter_pi/build
cd NmeaConverter_pi/build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
Windows note: You must place opencpn.lib into your build directory to be able to link the plugin DLL. You can get this file from your local OpenCPN build, or
Debugging: If you check out the plugin source into the plugins subdirectory of your OpenCPN source tree, you can build it as part of it.
Windows Specific Libraries
Under windows, you must find the file "opencpn.lib" (Visual Studio) or "libopencpn.dll.a" (mingw) which is built in the build directory after compiling opencp
###Build on Mac OS X: Tools: Can be installed either manually or from Homebrew (http://brew.sh)
#brew install git #If I remember well, it is already available on the system
brew install cmake
brew install gettext
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.2/bin/msgmerge /usr/local/bin/msgmerge
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.2/bin/msgfmt /usr/local/bin/msgfmt
To target older OS X versions than the one you are running, you need the respective SDKs installed. The easiest way to achieve that is using https://github.com/devernay/xcodelegacy
####Building wxWidgets (do not use wxmac from Homebrew, it is not compatible with OpenCPN) Get wxWidgets 3.0.x source from http://wxwidgets.org Configure, build and install
cd wxWidgets-3.0.2
./configure --enable-unicode --with-osx-cocoa --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/ --with-macosx-version-min=10.7 --enable-aui --disable-debug --enable-opengl
make
sudo make install
####Building the plugin Before running cmake, you must set the deployment target to OS X 10.7 to be compatible with the libraries used by core OpenCPN
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7
####Packaging on OS X Get and install the Packages application from http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html
make create-pkg
