Initial FlightGear / OsgEarth integration

osgEarth renders the terrain scene by building the textured geometry at runtime from raw source imagery and elevation data.

I can't seem to find that info anywhere, so:
what's your osgEarth version ?
and what version of FG are you trying to run with it ?

If in doubt, post the git hashes here for sg/fg and osgEarth

Latest of all, and it suddenly worked this morning after adding Cléments gdal library!

Can we get manual about how to install OSGEarth, which is optimised for end-user.
Where and how to get/install. I'm interested in W7x64 tutorial.

Primitive guide for stupid user like this:
1. go to gitorius...
2. download folder X
3. install ofgearth
4. copy/paste 'this' into 'there'
5.
6. ...

Thx.

see the first page of this thread, all the basic steps are listed there, including links to 2 very detailed sets of instructions, including a wiki article on using gitorious to set up 2.12

Hmm, I'm getting permission denied (publickey) error on the repo's in the first post.

It looks like the OP posted the authenticated git over SSH URLs and not the read-only "public" URLs.
It is easy to translate the URLs given to public ones. Here is an example from my fgdata clone, master-fgdata is the authenticated URL while origin is open for all.
Code: Select all
master-fgdata  git@gitorious.org:fg/fgdata.git
origin         git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git

For the last couple of weeks I have been trying to get a working FG-OSGearth system on Windows.

I started with the same problems that Gijs reported earlier, but have since then have gone around in circles.

Does anybody have a working set of compatible FG+OSG+OSGearth 3rd party libraries, or any other solution, that I can build from?

Alan

P.S. This for my WIP - the TSR2.

Next week I am off to the UK and will meet one of my former bosses who was Chief Aerodynamicist at that time. The 2.0 scenery is impressive when I engage the terrain following mode of the autopilot at Mach 1, 200 ft, but I think that the OSGearth may be even more frightening.

I can help here. I am actively working on yet another automatic builder that will build the osgEarth version of FG for Windows 64bit. Hope to have it ready very soon.

This is fantastic!

I was just re-reading this old and tiresome thread: http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?t=12005
Dreaming about possibly use FG for spaceflights, and learning about osgEarth.

Just to find out a bit later that, _we actually have it_.

Thanks for your amazing work.

Now, I tried building and have a little issue...
I'm not sure whether I'm doing it all right so I'd be glad for any pointer.

I'm on Arch Linux and used the following distro packages:
boost 1.56.0-2
openal 1.16.0-1
freealut 1.1.0-5
plib 1.8.5-5
openscenegraph 3.2.1-2
gdal 1.11.1-1
(and their deps, headers/-dev are included on Arch by default)

I'm using the repos given in the wiki (http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_FlightGear_with_osgEarth_Integration Edit: The ones in the note box.).

Compiling and installing osgearth and simgear went well, using cmake.
(I had to undo the changes that add "gdal" to the path (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21351#p194338) but that might be distro specific and I don't think it's the problem.)

Now flightgear is complaining (at 100%):
Code: Select all
Linking CXX executable fgfs
/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/fgfs.dir/__/Viewer/OsgEarthHeightField.cxx.o: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN17GDALDriverManager15GetDriverByNameEPKc'
/usr/lib/libgdal.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
src/Main/CMakeFiles/fgfs.dir/build.make:8831: recipe for target 'src/Main/fgfs' failed
make[2]: *** [src/Main/fgfs] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1555: recipe for target 'src/Main/CMakeFiles/fgfs.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [src/Main/CMakeFiles/fgfs.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:137: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

(There are more errors or warnings above, but I think that's the crucial one. I could upload to pastebin if helpful.)

Do I need a different gdal version maybe ?
Thanks

Edit: I'll continue trying.

Edit: My exact steps: http://pastebin.com/YaPx2sYd
Maybe I did something wrong replacing the gdal paths ? Though, it does find the headers now, it didn't before...

Maybe someone who got this working could me tell the versions of osg and gdal used ?

Edit: I think I might be missing some compile time options on gdal (e.g. --with-libkml) ?
Edit: Building gdal with libkml support did unfortunately not help. I'm still not sure whether the osg version is the right one.
I'm used to basic git usage and 'd be glad if I can help testing this on Linux. But the above error leaves me a bit helpless. Sorry if I'm overseeing something obvious.

I have similar mistake at Ubuntu:

Linking CXX executable fgfs
/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/fgfs.dir/__/Viewer/OsgEarthHeightField.cxx.o: undefined reference to symbol 'VSIFree'
/opt/FlightGear/gdal/lib/libgdal.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line


If I do comment that function call out in .c file then I have just previous result.

Pretty funny to have it after day full of installs and compilations, at last bit of linking. Tried to make everything to point linker to correct library, cmake command looks as that:

cmake CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mtune=native -I /opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/include -I /opt/FlightGear/gdal/include/ -I /opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/include/ -I /opt/FlightGear/simgear/include -L /opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/lib64 -L opt/FlightGear/gdal/lib -L /opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/lib64/ -L /opt/FlightGear/simgear/lib" -D CMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mtune=native -I /opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/include -I /opt/FlightGear/gdal/include/ -I /opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/include/ -I /opt/FlightGear/simgear/include -L /opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/lib64 -L opt/FlightGear/gdal/lib -L /opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/lib64/ -L /opt/FlightGear/simgear/lib" -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING="/opt/FlightGear/flightgear" -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph;/opt/FlightGear/gdal;/opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/include;/opt/FlightGear/gdal/include/;/opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/lib64/;opt/FlightGear/gdal/lib;/opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth;/opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth;/opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/include;/opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/lib64/;/opt/FlightGear/simgear;/opt/FlightGear/simgear/include;/opt/FlightGear/lib"-D CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/include;/opt/FlightGear/gdal/include/;/opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/include/;/opt/FlightGear/simgear/include" -D CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/lib64;opt/FlightGear/gdal/lib;/opt/FlightGear/OsgEarth/lib64/;/opt/FlightGear/simgear/lib" -D SIMGEAR_DIR='/opt/FlightGear/simgear' --enable-osgviewer .


Plus I tried

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/FlightGear/OpenSceneGraph/lib64:/opt/FlightGear/gdal/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH


It seeems that just wont work. Most probably gdal version is not needed one. I took source of latest stable 1.11 from oiginal web site. Maybe it would be correct to use 1.10 instead, or even 1.7, which worked with others previously. Well, 1.10 from repo seems to not work too. maybe I could try to test 1.7 from scratch insead, and maybe it would start even.

But I do not know if with that level of complexity it could get to any release.

those linker errors are unrelated to the osgEarth integration as such - they seem to be due to conflicting C++ ABIs, i.e. different gcc compiler versions being mixed - which is something that may happen once you mix pre-compiled binaries with custom-built sources, after updating your system libs (e.g. gcc)

I haven't looked at those errors in detail, but whenever I've seen g++ level linker errors due to name mangling, it's usually because of mixing incompatible library/compiler versions.
The easiest "solution" is to only use pre-built libraries or custom-built binaries - otherwise, you really have to know how to explicitly mix different compiler binaries properly.

To see if that's the case (name mangling/g++ versions), you only need to use ld/nm to check if the symbol is included or not - if it is, it's name mangling (=compiler/linker version) related - if it isn't, you are trying to mix the wrong sources - which also won't work, but is much easier to fix...

That should not be, since I do compile plib, osg, gdal, osgearth, simgear and flightgear manually, as I did previously, which worked. I do it on clear os install, to avoid any miscomprehending. Don't You mean that I need to compie each library manually? If it would work with precompiled versions then I would use that way - when it, as I could remember, had conflict You meant.

Nah, and of course I had checked if called library have function called - it is.
