Unable to compile Mission Planner

Ground Control Software Mission Planner
1

Hello everyone,

I want to compile Mission Planner solution without making any changes to the code.
I followed the instructions found in below link:
Building Mission Planner with Visual Studio — Dev documentation (ardupilot.org)

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.9.2.

I checkout the MissionPlanner1.3.70 tags.

When I compile, I got the following errors:

Error pg 1
Error pg 11920×1080 247 KB
Error pg 2
Error pg 21920×1080 240 KB
Error pg 3
Error pg 31920×1080 223 KB

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Now I managed to compile with no errors. However, when I start running the program, it throws exceptions:
"System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly ‘SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop, Version=1.60.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756’ or one of its dependencies. The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) "

I have placed binding redirect element in app.config file. However, it still doesn’t work for the ‘SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop’.

Has someone encountered this issue?

Thanks.

Why do you use 1.3.70 ? That is quite old, I would rather go for the Master branch or the tag Beta. (The skia sharp issue was fixed in them)

Thanks for the reply. I tried using the lastest one, but it is too slow to build and run and have some errors too.

Now I tried again 1.3.73. I got these errors although .dlls files are in the folders.

did you image after cloning ?

Yes I did. Now I clean the solution and build rebuild then those errors are gone now.

So now successfully built and run. 1.3.73 tags. However I have one problem. I have designer error in my main designer as below:

This was fixed in the beta afaik.
Still recommend to move to tag beta, there are tons of fixes.

Are you try to build a xamarin version (Android ?)

12

For my project, I do not need that. I have commented out this [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)] and I do not get any errors. Thanks.

When I run beta version, I got this error.
