Compile fails - excerpt from build log:

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/opencpn.dir/src/chcanv.cpp.o] Error 1

OpenCPN currently requires wxWidgets 2.8. I have checked, and the developer is aware of this.

Solution: Compile against (require) wxGTK:2.8

I changed the RDEPEND line for wx in my ebuild to:
   x11-libs/wxGTK:2.8[X]
and it now pulls in the correct wxGTK version. (Don't know if it's the correct solution, but it proved it works with 2.8)

Cheers

Paul

opencpn-3.0.2.ebuild:DEPEND="${DEPEND}
opencpn-3.2.2.ebuild:DEPEND="${DEPEND}

Fix that too while you fix the x11-libs/wxGTK SLOTs? :)

Many thanks Paul for reporting. Should be fixed now!

.. and thanks to Jeroen for pointing me to another C&P bug.
