Building Stable, failed compile - help required! (SOLVED!)

[nixnerd]

Hello All,

I'm following the instructions here:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_FlightGear_-_Devuan

Having entered:

mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fg && cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fg
cmake CFLAGS="--std=c++11" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D FG_DATA_DIR:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR/share/fgdata" \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/flightgear.git
make -j$(nproc) && make install

Compile starts and then:
...

Any help in resolving this would be appreciated

Quick shot: delete package libplib-dev (can be reinstalled after compilation).

Edit: afterwards start over with an empty $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fg!

If that doesn't help, which distro/version you're on?

Howdy FlugHund,

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.5

I'm just trying the solution proposed by abasign here --> viewtopic.php?f=45&t=34146

As previously I was using the download_and_compile.sh script, but getting remote hang ups

[wkitty42]

the fix for the remote hangups with the d&c script is to change the protocol used by the repository... change back to using git:// instead of https:// and it works... this started happening when sourceforge moved to a new data center... i made the change manually in each repo's .git/config file... you could also change it in your copy of d&c but that's only for new pulls... not existing ones... i find the manual edit the easiest but there is a ""proper"" git method to change it, too... i just don't know it

Hi wkitty42

Yes indeed, having changed to git, it's all now downloaded, compiled and running nicely.

Thanks for your help, all
