Please note that when using this package, you will not be able to use the Plugin Manager but have to install plugins via the aur or compile them yourself. If you need a plugin that is not in the aur, feel free to contact me for help.

If you added a plugin to an existing install before 5.10.2-3 or compiled a plugin yourself and can not see it in the plugin list, add the following to your ~/.opencpn/opencpn.conf file (thanks to @zimm):

[PlugIns/lib<name>_pi.so]
bEnabled=1

You can find the correct name by looking at the files in /usr/lib/opencpn.

If you encounter errors with plugins after an opencpn update, you might need to rebuild the affected plugin, for example using makepkg -fi.

Experienced font rendering issues using OpenCPN compiled against wxgtk-2.8 on my system. Those went away with a build against wxgtk (3.0.2-4 at the time) while opencpn appears to run fine using wxgtk version 3.0. Any objections against updating the PKGBUILD to use the latest wxgtk instead? --- PKGBUILD.orig 2015-06-14 08:28:07.418994281 +0200 +++ PKGBUILD 2015-06-14 08:13:56.036639398 +0200 @@ -10,11 +10,11 @@ pkgname=opencpn pkgver=4.0.0 -pkgrel=2 +pkgrel=3 pkgdesc="Open Source Chart Plotting / Marine Navigation" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=("GPL2") -depends=('wxgtk2.8' 'gpsd' 'portaudio' 'tinyxml' 'hicolor-icon-theme') +depends=('wxgtk' 'gpsd' 'portaudio' 'tinyxml' 'hicolor-icon-theme') makedepends=('cmake') url="http://opencpn.org" install=opencpn.install @@ -31,8 +31,8 @@ build() { cd "OpenCPN-${pkgver}" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr\ - -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config-2.8\ - -DwxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wxrc-2.8 + -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config\ + -DwxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wxrc make }

Good news OpenCPN 4.0.0, was published on January the 8th 2015 and can be downloaded from opencpn.org/download.

No, you are misunderstanding what the flag is for. It is basicly the same as the out of date flag on official packages. Only click it when the package is actually out of date (upstream released a new version). Build errors should be reported as a comment instead.

Athemis commented on 2014-01-20 20:34 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD is obviously out of date when it is not able to build the binary package anymore.

Mr.Elendig commented on 2014-01-17 15:18 (UTC)

Stop flagging out of date when it is not out of date. It is not a "poke maintainer" or "broken package" flag.

Athemis commented on 2014-01-16 19:24 (UTC)

Doesn't build anymore since wxgtk has been bumped to 3.0.0. Adding "-DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE='/usr/bin/wx-config-2.8' -DwxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE='/usr/bin/wxrc-2.8" to the cmake line solves the issue. Also switch the dependency from wxgtk to wxgtk2.8

1. Don't flag out of date when the package is not out of date. 2. The source url is fine, if you are having trouble with sourceforge, you can change to a different mirror by logging in on their page and setting your favourite mirror.

Had to change source to http://softlayer-dal.dl.sourceforge.net/project/opencpn/opencpn/3.2.2/OpenCPN- 3.2.2-Source.tar.gz Everything else worked after that.

Mr.Elendig commented on 2013-08-17 17:44 (UTC)

Updated and cleaned up a bit. Still needs more work though. If anyone wants to maintain it just poke me on email.
