I just built FlightGear from source for the first time. It runs beautifully and the new airplanes are a blast to fly! Although it went pretty smoothly, I have some questions on the build process for someone with more experience. This is on a pretty generic Linux box.
* I checked out FlightGear-0.9 from CVS, as listed on the anonymous CVS instruction page. Is that the right version of the source code? Should I be getting a particular branch or tag?
* I'm building FlightGear on OpenSceneGraph. However, configure and make of FlightGear fail unless SimGear and plib are present. Yet fgfs runs fine if I delete them after make. Can I get rid of SimGear and plib altogether and still be able to build FlightGear?
* fgfs is linked to both GLUT and SDL. That can't be right can it? I configured with --disable-glut --enable-sdl, it didn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas on how to make it pick one or the other?
Thanks!
