Hello, I've assembled a 'small' (40 MByte) FlightGear package and included a README:
This is a subset of the FlightGear Open Source flight simulator, packaged together with the purpose to serve as a specific benchmarking tool among different Unix platforms. The idea arose after realizing, that real world performance numbers for Unix workstations, especially for SGI and Sun machines, are rare because most potential users apparently don't like to share their experiences. The package would also serve as a FlightGear 'Getting Started' kit. I hope this package eases the collection of useful numbers. It is _always_ in development, so please include the package version into your feedback. The current 'release' (0.0.1) is based on CVS from 21th February 2004 and should run on IRIX/MIPS, Solaris/Sparc and Linux/x86. Please notice data/COPYING, run the 'benchmark' bin/FGBenchmark and return framerate numbers (lower right corner in the simulator window) to the person tho gave you notice of this package. To have a free flight you're invited to double click the right mouse button (you now should see crosshairs instead of your mouse pointer, this gets you mouse control over the aircraft), release the parking brake with Shift-b and control engine power wit PgUp/PgDown. ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Devel/FGBenchmark-0.0.1.tar.bz2 I'll include the necessary shared libraries (libjpeg for IRIX and GCC runtime libraries for Solaris) in a new package unter the same version number this evening, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
