Hmm, looks like the terragear instructions and NEWS are about a decade out of date. The
wiki is a bit more up-to-date, and you might be interested in the
terragear docker image.
If you still want to compile it, the way I compile it is as follows (you will need cmake):
- Compile and install simgear (hopefully simgear instructions are up to date) and install all other prerequisites. Step 3 will let you know what is missing.
- Create a build directory outside the terragear source directory
- From inside that build directory type "cmake <path/to/terragear/source>". This will set up the build
- Type "make install". This will make everything and install it to default location.
- For a list of settings for the make, type "cmake -L". I find "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" useful to define, so "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/my/install/place <path/to/terragear/source>" at step 3
I find that the really challenging work is preparing the data files for terragear.
