Raspi OS 64 OpenCPN Pypilot Plug-in

[Onno]

I have raspi os 64bits running on a pi 4 with OpenCPN and SignalK it would be a big plus if we could get the Pypilot Plug-in running in OpenCPN.
Is it possible? 
If so how?

Have you tried compiling it from source? https://github.com/pypilot/pypilot_pi

Yes we did try, our normal build for 32 was:
Install pypilot_pi (OpenCPN plugin)
install dependencies:

Code:

sudo apt install libwxbase3.0-dev libbz2-dev wx-common libwxgtk3.0-dev gettext

Build as normally:

Code:

$ sudo apt install cmake

Code:

$ git clone https://github.com/pypilot/pypilot_pi

Code:

$ cd pypilot_pi

Code:

$ mkdir build

Code:

$ cd build

Code:

$ cmake ..

Code:

$ make

Code:

$ sudo make install

Enable plugin in OpenCPN (can not find it)


Unfortunately after that we can not find the plugin in the 64 version.

check the opencpn log file and also ensure it is installed in the correct location with make install.

sometimes opencpn will find a locally installed plugin through the plugin manager and this will shadow a plugin installed from source with make.
