How did you satisfy the build-dependencies?
This is mostly, what the script is for. On apt systems you can also do an
- Code: Select all
apt-get build-dep flightgear
(or very similar - haven't done that in a while)
Edit:To compile from source essentially means, you have to get the source files, and then build them to a binary program. The sources for FlightGear can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/You definitely need:
You'll also need the -dev packages for:
- OpenSceneGraph (at least version 3.2)
- plib
Those you can get from your distro (Is it yum on Fedora?)
Then there are still some more dependencies, I hope to find out from Curt. (see post below)
After you have everything in place, you can open a terminal, enter SimGear source-directory and type
- Code: Select all
cd /path/to/source-code
./configure
make
sudo make install
After you have gone through that with SimGear and FlightGear, you should have installed latest FG on your system.
