I'd like to have a play with this. The documentation says that it is a command line program but when I execute it, it tries to launch a gui.

The gui fails because it is missing libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll, Qt5Core.dll and Qt5Sql.dll. I have multiple versions of these files on my system. I tried copying various combinations into the Littlenavreader build directory. Now when I execute it, it fails with an Entry Point Not Found error. The exact message depends on which versions of the missing .dll files I have copied into the directory.

***Request to the moderator to rename this to "Navdatareader installation". Thanks.

If anyone could explain the steps to complete this step, that would be great:

Create and run the target `deploy`

So, I manged to get an executable. When I ran it, it couldn't find UserCfg.opt. I specified the base path on the command line, and now it gets past UserCfg.opt but can't find fs-base-nav

 

[10 11:18:05.486 WARN ] navdatareader.cpp:120: Other error: "\"\\fs-base-nav\" does not exist."

Regarding "deploy": No need to compile it yourself. Download one of the Windows binaries from Github.
And you have to run the program within its installation folder. Otherwise it cannot find the DLLs.

Do not specify the base path. The program should find it automatically.
Base path would be "...\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages" for example.

Thanks. I've done it the way you suggest.
