Building FlightGear from source, and in the need for help?

Yes, the INSTALL cmake command in simgear says this:

Code: Select all
cmake ../simgear -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release


and when you look at the SimGear-2.8.0/ directory you see underneath a directory named "simgear" so that cmake command makes you think that your build directory should be parallel to it. And that is what I did. This is why originally I had sgbuild underneath SimGear-2.8.0.

It would be better in both simgear and flightgear that the INSTALL said this:
Code: Select all
cmake ../simgear-VERSION       -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release   # replace VERSION with the version number
cmake ../flightgear-VERSION    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release   # replace VERSION with the version number


that would be it much clearer as to which "${sim,flight}gear" directory was being referred to.

-----
Also, here is what I did for the FlightGear data:
Code: Select all
$ cd $HOME/build
$ tar xjf $HOME/Downloads/FlightGear-data-2.8.0.tar.bz2   # extracts into "data" directory
$ ln -s data FlightGear-data-2.8.0
$ su -c "cd /usr/local/lib; ln -s $HOME/build/FlightGear-data-2.8.0 FlightGear"


maybe this will help someone else.

That's fair comment, thank you; I'll add a pointer in the bug list . In defence I can only say that if you get your source tree from git then the created subdirectories are 'simgear' and 'flightgear' and things work OK but you're right, showing the cmake commands your way would avoid any possible confusion.
