I have downloaded the SVN repository with the SVN command to the following folder:
/home/myuser/.fgfs/Headtracker
the contents of this folder are listed below with the ls -l command.
- Code: Select all
ls -al ~/.fgfs/Headtracker/
total 48

To run the addon with FG,
i tried to add the following options in the settings window of the flightgear launcher:
- Code: Select all
--addon=/home/myuser/.fgfs/Headtracker
Instead of the addon launching, I get this error:
- Code: Select all
Unable to register an add-on
Error registering an add-on:
unable to find the add-on metadata file '/home/myuser/.fgfs/Headtracker/addon-metadata.xml
As you can see, that file already exists. :/
and it is not empty.
Why can't FG see the metadafile and install the addon?
