I was going to write something like this, thanks! Neat job! :-) ..a wee policy nit: This _is_ where we (FG) wanna drop in the FG family cvs trees? : "PLIB_DIR=~/games/flightgear/plib SIMGEAR_DIR=~/games/flightgear/SimGear FLIGHTGEAR_DIR=~/games/flightgear/FlightGear FGFSBASE_DIR=~/games/flightgear/fgfsbase" ..most FG newcomers on thin metered wires will likely first try a tarball or a binary, when we tell'em "try cvs", we should also help'em minimize the DL by dropping the cvs in somewhere convenient, so their old working binaries are left working while their old source trees are reused when possible. > Occasionally you might hit a build error and have to look at the logs > but most of the time it just works (for me anyway). > > Regards, > Geoff -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
