I cant find the win32 libs for cygwin Yes this is outdated info Our webmaster isn't really into the Cygwin side of things :-) However if you are comfortable with Cygwin, or really a command line oriented development system, You should be able to build the 'current developers' version quite painlessly. < realize that you will need at least a gig of hardisk space by the time you are done > OK, Here is how you do it. 1) Install the latest Cygwin Toolkit click on insall cygwin now icon at http://www.cygwin.com < do all of the following from a bash shell > 2) Create a src directory at /usr/local/src 3) use CVS to install the files ================= #! /bin/sh # run this script from your toplevel src dir echo "hit <return> when asked for PLib password" cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/plib login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/plib co plib echo "enter 'guest <return>' when asked for SimGear password" cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/wsp/pubcvs/SimGear login cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/wsp/pubcvs/SimGear co SimGear echo "enter 'guest<return>' when asked for FlightGear password" cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/wsp/pubcvs/FlightGear login cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/wsp/pubcvs/FlightGear co FlightGear ============== 4) Make the packages cd into each of the respective directories plib simgear flightgear in that order and run this script aclocal automake -a autoconf ./configure make make install Now all you need is the FlightGear base package which you should also get from CVS decide where you want to install FlightGear, cd there and checkout the FlightGear base package with this script echo "CVS passwd: cvsguest" cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsroot login cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsroot co fgfsbase You are now ready to takeoff :-) Oh BTW Updating this configuration is a LOT easier then setting it up ! Hope you have a relatively fast machine minimal system 200 mhz 64 meg OpenGL card reccomend 500 mhz 128 meg or more Geforce GFX Holler again if you need more advice Norman -- Please visit the FGFS web page: http://www.flightgear.org For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with a single line of text: "help".
