From memory I looked for a switch & couldn't find one either - I just looked at the source for it & saw that it was a single file, so I figured it would be ok to compile it on it's own
I have the ppa from here:
https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+arc ... flightgear installed, so I think I had all the dependencies installed from that
fwiw plib is libplib1, glut is freeglut3, stdc++ is libstdc++6
I felt that as the d&c script was putting everything in it's own subdirectories & setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH that it should be fine - that overrrides normal library loads
