Useful Hints found during compilation
1. Removing obsolete links from a github repository:
Note: For Windows Use Git Bash
As an example for removing any tags which include the name `v3':
git push origin –delete $(git tag -l ``v3'')
2. Windows, changing file permissions:
Using Git Bash…
git update-index –chmod=+x `name-of-shell-script' (e.g. ./ci/generic-build-raspbian-armhf.sh. wildcards are allowed e.g. ./ci/*.sh)
git commit -m ``made a file executable''
git push
This is needed when copying files from ./ci/ in ShipDriver to another plugin that is being upgraded. Windows does not retain the file permissions for the copied scripts.
3. Using wxMemoryDC:
`wxMemoryDC mdc(wxNullBitmap); mdc.SetFont( *pTCFont); int w, h; mdc.GetTextExtent(labels, &w, &h); int label_offset = 10; wxBitmap bm(w + label_offset*2, h + 1); mdc.SelectObject(bm); mdc.Clear(); wxPen penText(m_text_color); mdc.SetPen(penText); mdc.SetBrush(*wxTRANSPARENT_BRUSH); mdc.SetTextForeground(m_text_color); //mdc.SetTextBackground(wxTRANSPARENT);` ******* Removed this line to get openGL working in otcurrent_pi
