FlightGear Forum
I don't know if this is the right place for this thread so fell free to move it.
I have made two bash scripts that will automatically build the latest binaries for FG in fedora.
To use them simply make a folder in your home directory or somewhere where you have full privileges, cd into that folder and create two .sh files containing the code below:
systemSetup.sh
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
su root yum install --skip-broken\
git cmake cmake-gui\
libpng-devel\
freetype-devel\
libjpeg-turbo-devel\
giflib-devel giflib-utils\
libtiff-devel\
libXmu-devel\
libXi-devel\
libglut3-devel\
freealut-devel\
boost-devel\
automake autoconf\
fltk-devel\
openal-soft\
openal-soft-devel\
plib-devel\
OpenSceneGraph\
OpenSceneGraph-devel\
OpenThreads\
OpenThreads-devel
git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/simgear.git
git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear.git
and the build-fg.sh file:
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
#script path
scriptLocation=$PWD/${0##*/}
# to get the path only - not the script name - add
path_only=`dirname "$scriptLocation"`
tmp="/tmp"
if [$1]; then
jobs=$1
else
jobs=""
fi
#start with simgear
cd simgear
make clean
echo "running git pull"
#git reset --hard HEAD
git pull
echo ""
echo "Running ./autogen.sh"
./autogen.sh
echo ""
echo "Running ./configure --prefix=${path_only}${tmp}/simgear"
./configure --prefix=${path_only}${tmp}/simgear
echo ""
echo "Running make ${jobs}"
make ${jobs}
echo ""
echo "Running make install"
make install
echo ""
echo "Cleanup"
make clean
echo ""
cd ..
cd flightgear
make clean
echo "running git pull"
#git reset --hard HEAD
git pull
echo ""
echo "Running ./autogen.sh"
./autogen.sh
echo ""
echo "Running ./configure --prefix=${path_only}/bin/flightgear --with-simgear=${path_only}${tmp}/simgear"
./configure --prefix=${path_only}/bin/flightgear --with-simgear=${path_only}${tmp}/simgear
echo ""
echo "Running make ${jobs}"
make ${jobs}
echo ""
echo "Running make install"
make install
echo ""
echo "Cleanup"
make clean
echo ""
cd ..
echo "tmp cleanup"
rm -rf ${path_only}${tmp}
echo "done"
How To Use:
1) systemSetup.sh will need to be run as root, and only once as it sets up your system with all the dependencies and tools needed:
$> systemSetup.sh
I think there are a few packages that are distributed using rpmfusion so make sure you have it set up first.
2) build-fg.sh is the one that you will use to build FG and to update it.
This script does not need root level access:
$> build-fg.sh
the script will put all the binaries in one folder /[wherever I am]/bin/flightgear. You can copy the flightgear folder and use it as is. I use this app as a luncher and point it to whatever it needs.
3)You will need to get the latest data folder separately (about 3.5G) from its own repository:
$> git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git
or from:
$> git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/fgdata
BUGS:
I believe the script builds the binaries, by default, with the debug strings in them therefore the end result is a fgfs file of ~120M, and right now I haven't figured out how to switch to release mode yet.
Hope this helps, And because fedora is LSB compatible I believe this script may also work on other RPM based distributions.
Thanks.
