This is the 'radarwindow' branch. I'm reworking most of the plugin to be more modular.
The latest binary version for Microsoft Windows, Linux x86 and x86_64 and OS X can be downloaded at http://opencpn-navico-radar-plugin.github.io .
You can compile just this plugin without having to compile the entire OpenCPN source. If you check out the plugin source into the plugins subdirectory of your OpenCPN source tree, you can build it as part of it (exactly as with the versions prior to 1.0).
You will need the general preconditions for building OpenCPN from http://opencpn.org/ocpn/developers_manual .
The following command line snippets show how to build the entire package separately from the OpenCPN source.
In order to build multiple platforms you can build in separate build-${platform} directories.
###Obtain the source code
git clone https://github.com/canboat/BR24radar_pi.git
###Build on Microsoft Windows
mkdir BR24radar_pi/build-win32
cd BR24radar_pi/build-win32
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 alternatively download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencpnplugins/files/opencpn_lib/
###Creating a package on Microsoft Windows
Windows
cmake --build . --config release --target package
###Build on Linux
Example on 64 bit Intel/AMD64 system:
mkdir BR24radar_pi/build-linux-x86_64
cd BR24radar_pi/build-linux-x86_64
cmake ..
make
###Creating a package on Linux
make package
###Build on Mac OS X:
XCode can be downloaded from the App Store.
Tools: Can be installed either manually or from Homebrew (http://brew.sh). Homebrew is highly recommended.
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. Official releases target 10.7. 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
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
mkdir build-mac
cd build-mac
cmake ..
make
####Packaging on OS X Get and install the Packages application from http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html
make create-pkg
The plugin code is licensed under the terms of the GPL v2.
This would be a pretty useless plugin if OpenCPN did not exist. Hurrah for @bdbcat!
The plugin was started by @cowelld, who took @bdbcat's Garmin radar plugin and the reverse engineered data from http://www.roboat.at/technologie/radar/ and created the first working version in 2012.
@canboat started helping Dave. Soon he implemented most of the 4G specific functionality, rewrote the control dialogs, implemented the guard zones and cleaned the code considerably.
@nohal contributed the packaging installers, without which this would still be a set of sources instead of deliverable packages for various platforms.
@Hakansv did a lot of testing and contributed the idle timer, and contributed work on the translations.
@douwefokkema implemented the heading on radar functionality, optimised the OpenGL drawing and implemented the refresh rate code.
@seandepagnier shader support and some optimizations
