attempt to build demo plugin fails

[DarfieldChris]

Hi,

I am not able to build the demo plugins referenced in the documentation.

I initially tried to build the demo plugin provided as part of the opencpn distribution.

I was not able to build the demo so then followed the directions on this page (https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=opencpn:developer_manual:plugins:learning:fork_and_build_linux):

1. I am working on an RPi4 and believe I have installed the prerequisites for compiling opencpn (was able to cmake/make the opencpn distribution except that the demo plugin did not compile)
2. I executed the step:
3. cmake -G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" ../
4. And get the following error:
   

Any thoughts on how to proceed or can I provide more information?

Thanks,
Chris

Execute git submodule update --init in ~/Downloads/DR_pi and try again.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Looks like I was missing this step initially:
git submodule update --init opencpn-libs

I have now built the tarball for this plugin!
