Hi all,
I just finished compiling OpenCPN 4.6 and installing it over the existing 4.4 version on OpenPlotter 8.
It seems to work fine - even perhaps a little snappier than 4.4. After I got the base directory correct ("/usr" instead of the default "/usr/local") it seemed to slot in quite nicely over the top of 4.4, and it uses the existing plugins and settings from 4.4.
So far, no bugs that I can see, but of course testing is in the early stages.
Is anyone else using 4.6 on their PI, and if so, have you had any problems?
My compiled version is a fairly large DEB (about 90M), as I included the full version of the GSHHS model, but I would be happy to make it available to anyone who wishes to try it. Keep in mind I'm not smart enough to include the menu additions in the DEB, so if you install it without the previous installation of 4.4, you won't have a desktop icon or a menu entry, you'll have to create those yourself.
PM me if you want a Dropbox link to the DEB.
Andy
