Right, but from what Erik says, if we make the change from the archived message above, this will likely hose the Irix build. > Nor is our build proceedure what the MetaKit Readme suggests > < also outlined in the above msg > Well, effectively what simgear does is pretty equivalent (minus the make test, but who needs that, and what's a "Readme"?) :-) > And I am sure that David will vote for yanking MetaKit out all > together something he has made perfectly clear on more then one > occasion. Metakit (or something like it) gives us a big performance boost balanced across initial load times and on the fly airport lookups. Any other solution will force us to pay a big price at load time at least. > and I guess I don't really give a hoot anymore ....

Given that the metakit build appears to have issues on some platforms, it might just be a lot easier all around to have a smart person from each platform do the work once (already done for most linux distros) and then people won't have to worry about that step.
