Hi Vivian, Hi Frederic

I'm working on test infrastructure for FG and I'd like to build from CVS/SVN on Windows as well.
Would you have time to document the steps involved in building on Windows ?

I've found the page on the wiki (http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Building_FlightGear_-_Windows), but some critical steps are missing:
/NOTE: add instructions for compilation here

Thanks!

Randy,

Since you wanted to compile from source, I assumed, wrongly that you would be using cvs-head of all source code. This is what I do; well more or less because I have some development code as well. We didn't introduce the MSVC9 stuff until comparatively recently.

If you want to go back to 1.9.1, and there is no reason why you shouldn't: use the VC7.1 solution files and convert them to MSVC9 files using the utility built into MSVC9. You should be able to find matching versions of flightgear and simgear, and I think the latest stable version of osg will work. Alternatively, go down the cvs-head route. It's all a bit of an effort to start with to get the paths and all the dependencies right, but it does work in the end.

Vivian,

I am a programmer at a university who is helping an Air Force Captain do his Masters Thesis
using a new type of Primary Flight Display he designed.
Thanks for your email. I downloaded MSVC9. I downloaded FlightGear-1.9.1 but I don't see a MSVC9 solution, I see an "8" solution just inside the folder, and a "VC7.1" and a "VC8" in the projects folder. Isn't 1.9.1 supposed to be the latest? Why is there 2 VC8 solutions in
two places?
I tried FlightGear_0.9 that does have a 9 solution file under \projects\vc90, but it says I'm missing SimGear\projects\VC90\Simgear.vcproj when I start it up. Simgear only has VC7.1 and VC8 folders under projects, no VC9. SimGear only has downloads of 1.9.1 and 1.9.0 on their website. I thought you had to have matching version numbers of FlightGear and Simgear in order
to compile.
What versions do you use?

Any help you give will be greatly appreciated by the Captain and me.

Randy
