Hi Cullam,

>> compile Terra-gear yet on either Windows or Ubuntu

Nice to have another person on 'scenery' enhancement ;=))

On Ubuntu:
=========

Inspired by Francesco Brisa simple script, I have built
a do-everything script to build TerraGear in Ubuntu.

 http://geoffair.net/tmp/maketg 

It has a -h or --help output... put it in your 'path',
and make it exectuable - chmod +x maketg - and you can
create a new 'terragear' from any root folder, like say
$HOME/tg

1. it install, or updates, all the tools and packages needed
2. downloads _ALL_ the source, configures and compiles them,
   with lots of stops for input unless you add NOPAUSE

Even if you do not use it directly, it is informative as
to what is needed to compile terragear-cs...

If you use 'non-standard' install locations for the libraries, like
I do in this script, except for the actual terragear tools, which it
installs into $HOME/bin, then you will also need to patch configure.ac,
per my recent post, unless, and until, my patch, or its equivalent
makes it into the git respository ;=()

Remember, you need git simgear to build git terragear.
http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/gitweb.pl?p=terragear-cs;a=summary 
http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/gitweb.pl?p=simgear-cs;a=summary 

I recently had some trouble with the http:// clone, but
no problem with the git:// clone... and anywa, seems to work
faster than I remember for http, when it did work...

cvs terragear is badly out of date, and you would need
to use cvs simgear from quite some time ago, probably
back to PRE-OSG, but have not tried.

On Windows:
==========

I have recently put up a page on this - see -

 http://geoffair.net/fg/fgfs-050.htm 

It is work-in-progress because I am hoping to get some/all
the changes into the git repository, and have still _NOT_
solved my lack-of-elevation problem.

Fred recently did an update for MSVC7.1, so presumably, if
you have this version, then it may compile as is. But my
patch file -
   http://geoffair.net/fg/txt/tg-diff-01.txt 
is needed for later versions. The diff also contains a
few small tool changes, especially more help output.

Fred was to review my changes, for MSVC8/9, but I guess he
has not had time yet... ;=((

On Dem data:
===========

I think this is better answered by others. As you can see
from my web page, I had quite some trouble with 'elevation'
data ;=))

Hope this helps make Canada more beautiful...

Regards,

Geoff.
