Arch Linux User Repository

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.

I have copied the full update with yay where the build fail here : https://pastecode.io/s/rz5std1s

@glenjo: Can you post some output regarding that error? I can build this aur with gdal installed from the repos as well as without it. opencpn ships its own version of gdal, that's how the headers are included without the gdal package being a dependency.

@hamdyaea1: I am sorry, but the actual error is still not in the text you pasted. "*** Attente des tâches non terminées...." means that an error occured above that line. So please look into the output above that line, and see if you can spot some output containing an error, not a warning.
(You might want to just edit your last comment to not clutter up the comments too much...)

I'm also having the build fail, and traced it back to the gdal package. It's using the include files in the gdal package for conversion between raster and vector chart types. I don't even see gdal listed as a dependancy so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong at this point. any help would be appreciated!

@hamdyaea1, I am afraid I need to see some more lines of your output. The ones you pasted show a warning, which should not break the build (it does not for me).

Also, you might want to surround your pasted log by three backticks:

` ` `
pasted text
` ` `

which will show it like this and make it much more readable:

pasted text

@cybuzuma: thanks for your help. I just installed it and everything is working fine. Thanks

@Apolo-XIII: thank you for the report. I updated the package's dependencies which should fix your error.

Can't help, but I really recommend using the official flathub package for opencpn that is supported by the developers.

This will prevent issues using the software and allows you to use the plug-in manager embedded in opencpn.

Cheers, and good luck
