Hello Matt,
Thank you for your reply, though I don't fully understand it.
Have you tried to install XTide v2.15.2 and do you have it working with
weewx and the forecast extension?
*RE: The environment*
/usr/local/bin/tide already knows where to find harmonics as directed by
/etc/environment wherein is contained:
HFILE_PATH=/usr/local/share/xtide
WVS_DIR=/home/pi/XTide/wvs
XTide was installed from source files and into the associated directories
following the David Flater's excellent, though sometimes terse,
instructions. Weewx got installed automatically through the apt-get
process.
/usr/share/weewx/weewxd
In /etc/weewx/weewx.conf under
[Forecast]
...
[[XTide]]
prog = /usr/local/bin/tide
*IF* I understand you,
1) I should create /usr/share/weewx/tide.sh wherein is contained
#!/bin/sh
HFILE_PATH=/usr/local/share/harmonics-dwf-20181227-free.tcd tide "$@"
2) and then, you're saying I should
In /etc/weewx/weewx.conf under
[Forecast]
...
[[XTide]]
prog = /usr/share/weewx/tide.sh
*Is this understanding correct?*
FWIW - Found more deprecated droppings from the old deb-package that
weren't properly removed by sudo apt-get remove xtide-data; i.e.,
/usr/share/xtide/harmonics-initial.tcd - manually removed by
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rm -r /usr/share/xtide
