Hi, This is my first post so I apologise for it being trivial, I've built FlightGear under windows xp/cygwin following all the instructions in the manual (apart from building "metakit" which is not in the source files??). It compiles but a runfgfs.bat file wasn't produced. No problem - I created one with the two lines: SET FG_ROOT=c:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear %FG_ROOT%\BIN\FGFS.EXE but when I come to run it I get the following error: --------------------- C:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear>SET FG_ROOT=c:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear C:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear>c:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear\BIN\FGFS.EXE WARNING: ssgLoadAC: Failed to open './c:/cygwin/usr/local/FlightGear/data/Aircra ft/c172p/Models/c172p.ac' for reading Failed to load aircraft from Aircraft/c172p/Models/c172p.xml (Falling back to glider.ac.) WARNING: ssgLoadAC: Failed to open './c:/cygwin/usr/local/FlightGear/data/Models /Geometry/glider.ac' for reading Fatal error: Failed to load 3D model (received from ) C:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear>pause Press any key to continue . . . -------------------------------------------- So it looks like flightgear looks for the data path as "./c/...." when trying to use the environment variable FG_ROOT. Which isn't a recongised windows path....
Any suggestions? Oh, I've tried a VS .NET build but no luck so far....but first things first ;-)! Neil. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
