download_and_compile - can't find osg libs

[daveculp]

I've just built fgfs using brisa's script (thanks brisa!). All appears to be built properly. I start using fgo!, and fgfs stops with the following complaint:

/home/dave/fgfs/install/fgfs/bin/fgfs: error while loading shared libraries: libosgText.so.80: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked in /home/dave/fgfs/install/OpenSceneGraph/lib64 and found the lib (which is actually a symlink to libosgText.so.3.0.1). Any ideas as to why fgfs can't find this library? Note: I erased my old OSG libs and headers just to make sure fgfs isn't looking there.

Thanks, dave

Usually, the various dependencies/libs are not installed system-wide, but in a custom location (that makes it possible, to easily use different OSG/SG/FG versions on a single system, i.e. for testing purposes - but also to have separate build trees (optimized/debug) ) - which is why you either need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or simply use Brisa's script to run everything (something like run_fgfs.sh, which automatically sets up all environment variables according to your build settings). Please see the wiki for details: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scripted_Com ... FlightGear

To learn more about using git to make changes and create your own branches, see:

The cmake build system used in FG now is documented at: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Developing_using_CMake
The wiki has a dedicated "developer" portal with tons of development related articles and pointers: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Portal:Developer

Thanks Hooray, that did it. I just needed to set the environment variables. Now, problem number two

When fgfs tried to start, it quit with a warning that data version 2.8.0 was needed, whereas I only had 2.10.0. I did the simple fix of changing the version number in data to 2.8.0, so fgfs is happy now, however I get a console message that fgfs is operating in a 2.8.0 backward compatibility mode. That doesn't sound good. Any idea what the proper solution is?

Thanks again,

Dave

that would seem to suggest that your SG/FG source trees are not NEXT, could you check that first ?
a couple of weeks ago, somebody else experienced the same thing. What does the configuration step say exactly ?
You will want to build 2.11 probably, right ?

Besides, the "compatibility mode" thing is totally new to me - never heard of that at all - maybe a recent change.

Thanks Hooray. Looking in the download_and_compile.sh script, I see the following:

This is script version 1.9.4. So looks like it is fetching FG2.8 code, however it also fetches 2.10 data (don't know why). I'll try editing this part of the script and updating my FG build.

Hi, my machine couldn't find quite some OSG-libs. Since I don't have them in /usr or sth, only in my home-folder, I don't know, where to fix this...

But PLib, OSG and OpenRTI built fine! Any hints are very appreciated!

Anyway, is this supposed to be some kind of joke???

EDIT:
...found it! I edited build/simgear/CMakeCache.txt and provided the paths by hand there...

which failed!
found out, that I had 2 versions of OSG in the same folder! OSG-3.0.1 and OSG-3.1.5, both installed in /install/OpenSceneGraph/ ... no wonder, why it came to that funny message...
After deleting the whole OSG-folder, everything worked fine by itself...
