OpenCPN is developed by a team of active sailors using real world conditions for program testing and refinement. -wxGTK3 is a required dependency, however you can use wxGTK or -wxPython instead if you prefer. If decide to use wxGTK you will -have to recompile wxGTK with the --enable-graphics_ctx option -because it is not enabled in the default slackbuild and is -required by opencpn. The --enable-graphics_ctx option is enabled -by default in the wxGTK3 and wxPython slackbuilds. +If you are upgrading or installing new, OpenCPN 5.x now requires +that wxGTK3 be built with webkitgtk support. So you will have to +install webkitgtk available here at SBo, then build and install +wxGTK3. + +OpenCPN only looks for plugins in the "lib" directories. So on +x86_64 we have to pass an environment variable to use plugins. +The menu launcher will automatically set this for you, however +if you choose to launch OpenCPN from the command line you must +launch it with this command to get plugin support on x86_64. + +OPENCPN_PLUGIN_DIRS="/usr/lib64/opencpn" opencpn |
