[Marble-devel] Error compiling marble on Windows 7 64bits with MingW

I made good progress. Marble is now integrated in OpenPilot Ground Control Station  (GCS).
It sounds pompous, but that's the name of the piece of software I am contributing too.

By integrated, I actually mean that I can display maps in the windows version of GCS. 

GCS is a Qt 4.8.4 application supported on linux, macos and windows.

One of the features we would like to add to GCS using Marble is a way point editor for planning UAV missions.
It would be similar in ways to the routing provided in Marble but adapted to RC flying vehicles (fixed wings, helicopters, multi-rotors, ...).
No need to follow streets, height map can be used for warning about potential ground collision, etc...

That's where a question comes in : is there a way to turn off routing?
Apparently the routing feature is hardwired in QtMainApplication and MarbleWidget.
It is possible to disable it by changing the planetId to something else from "earth".
But this is not so practical as most of the things we fly need an atmosphere.

If the above is correct, what would be the best way possible to make routing optional?
- using #ifdef
- using flag
- moving code to somewhere (RoutingLayer?)
If given directions, I could try to take a look at how to do it.

Anyways, all I have seen of Marble has been great and the little coding I have done was fun.
The code looks great too, lots of good practices to be taken there.

Cheers,
Philippe.


PS : For future reference here are the difficulties encountered :

- Compilation problems : removed -DWITH_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=ON from command line

- Map creation problem ("stuck" in map creation dialog) : added missing Qt imageformats plug-ins.

- Debug mode bug causing crash in the marble widget constructor : switched to release mode
- Missing header files in install/include/marble, namely:
    * MarbleWidgetPopupMenu.h
    * MarbleDebug.h
  Adding both headers to /src/lib/CMakeLists.txt worked effectively.
