Trying to compile FlightGear on Xubuntu fails with the following error message:

Code: Select all

-- Performing Test SIMGEAR_COMPILE_TEST
-- Performing Test SIMGEAR_COMPILE_TEST - Failed
CMake Error at CMakeModules/FindSimGear.cmake:265 (message):
  Oops, you have installed SimGear includes, however test compiling failed.
  Try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' and reconfigure with 'cmake'.

Removing CMakeCache.txt doesn't solve it, BTW. Simgear-dev 2.4.0-1 is currently installed (via apt-get.)

Anyone come across this sort of error?

SimGear version is too old (you can't use 2.4 for 2.8 ). PlayDeb provides the latest [stable] version of all things FlightGear - you should use that: http://www.playdeb.net/software/FlightGear

Unfortunately v2.8 isn't available for amd64 on playdeb so I had no choice but to compile it from source.

Solution for the simgear problem was to get it off the flightgear website [0], compiling it and then compilation of flightgear went ahead without a hitch.
