Hi there!

I don't plan to compile FG with osgearth now, but I wonder if it will be a default thing in the next release.
I read the news and it said "osgearth will probably be present in 3.0". Since it's not in 3.0, is it wrong to assume it will be present in 3.2?

Also. If I install the git version, will it still need to compile osg or it will come automatically via updates?

Regards.

it's been put for review in time for the 3.0 release - however, the review didn't go quite as planned, it's now "scheduled" for 3.2 - but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will end up in 3.2 - ultimately, it's up to FG core developers, i.e. the bottleneck is on the FG side of things currently. This may change once poweroftwo is provided with commit access to SG/FG, but currently it's not clean when that will happen...

So far, osgearth is still kept in a separate branch maintained by poweroftwo.

You might already know that I compiled FG Git the same way as you: with that Script. Not with git specifically.
So it's quite confusing to know how I'm supposed to compile FG with osgearth. In the Wiki page it says:

git clone -v -b 2.12-OsgEarthIntegration git@gitorious.org:fg/flightgear-osgearth.git flightgear

but it's clear I can't run this command as it is:

[junior@junior ~]$ git clone -v -b 2.12-OsgEarthIntegration git@gitorious.org:fg/flightgear-osgearth.git flightgear
Cloning into 'flightgear'...
error: cannot run ssh: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork
[junior@junior ~]$


I might need to edit it's end to look something like "/home/junior/fgfs/some-directory", right?

Most obviously from the error you'd need to install the ssh (secure shell) program. However, with gitorious you usually only use SSH as transport when doing authenticated accesses to a repository (e.g. to push changes) - when you only want to clone a repository you anyway don't have write access to use the GIT or HTTPS transports.

The command will probably be:
Code: Select all
git clone -v -b 2.12-OsgEarthIntegration git://gitorious.org:fg/flightgear-osgearth.git flightgear

I don't use any script to build FG, so I am not sure what script you are referring to - however, "git" is just where the code is coming from in the case of SG/FG.
Even if you are using brisa's d&c script, it will still get the code for SG/FG/FGDATA via git - to use your existing build setup to build with osgEarth support, you really only need to add a git remote for the osg repository and then check out the corresponding SG/FG branches - that's how I did it a few months ago, and how I documented things (check the wiki).

Conceptually, there's no reason why this should no longer work...

@AndersG: Yeah. I block my SSH port by default. I should've read that error better, but it was 5 AM so I deserve a little break :P

@Hooray: Sorry. Somehow I miss-confused you with chris_blues.

The ball is really in my court on the next phase of osgEarth integration. I removed my git merge request to complete some functionality. I have been pulled away for a few weeks but hope to tidy up some details on the latest changes soon.

Is osgearth going to be pushed into git?

Is it possible to build this at the moment?

The git repos (simgear, flightgear, fgdata, fgrun) at https://gitorious.org/~poweroftwo all have different version numbers which kills Cmake at the Simgear test stage.

The wiki says that it is is out of date.

sorry about the wiki being out of date. Here is a link to the correct branches that are current.

It seems I have solved my own problem.

I use the windows Cmake gui ( not command line) and had checked out the next branch. I have now learnt a little more about Cmake and have swtched branches to 2.99.I will give ut another go tomorrow.

Thanks
