You only need it for your FG flight etc tests, not to build or edit FG. Which again means you can build FG on whatever Cray, cluster or what-have-you FG-build machinery _while_ you test-fly your latest FG builds, you probably wanna compare your tests. > I've currently installed Flight Gear, am trying to start the first > building process which I am following instructions from > http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Building_FlightGear_-_Windows ..much of this is _old_dated_ news, unless you want to build FG-0.9. You _probably_ want to build FG straight out of Git, this is "where the action is", and we have a few FG developers on "FG on Windows." Latest boost is 1.44.0, latest boost in Debian is 1.42, well worth going with the latest boost etc. > Have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express and have followed > all the instructions on the site above (including installing Git and > Tortoise SVN), everything went okay until I reached the part that > says "Getting SVN headers" and "Getting OpenSceneGraph" > > "Getting SVN headers": I am unsure as to where to find that library > the site mentions, in order to extract and include into the 3rd party > folder "Getting OpenSceneGraph": I tried linking a folder named > "OpenSceneGraph" in my FG root directory to the URL specified but > keep getting a rejection warning saying > > > Error: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files > > (x86)\FlightGear\OpenSceneGraph\.svn': > > Error: Access is denied. .._can_ you access this file??? _Is_ it there? If it's there, chk your file attributes for file ownership etc, the build is clearly expecting to find _something_ there, and " touch $filename " _sometimes_ works by creating an empty file which _might_ change the error message on your next try. ..it could also be trying to access hardware in a way Microsoft or W7 "think is wrong", in some new way to MSVS2010E, see my WAG disclaimer below. ..wild ass guess disclaimer: I have built software _only_ on Debian Sid. > I'm kinda at my wits end, being really new to this software developing > process but I need to finish my project probably by February next > year.

I went the GNU way with SuSE-5.2, then Red Hat-5.2 thru 9.3, I'm now on Debian Sid "Experimental" since Woody. ..Ubuntu-10.10 is _probably_ where you wanna start if you come straight or freshly new burnt from the Microsoft world, softer start than Debian, and far less tools to go _wildly_ confused about trying to learn to choose from, I hear freedom of choice is quite a challenge for freedom newbies. ;o) ..I wouldn't be surprised to learn somebody has made a GUI tool suite "SDK" "that works like Microsoft's", nor would I know it if I ever saw it, I simply don't know Microsoft's tools. ;o) ..Ubuntu is easily upgraded to Debian by simply replacing Ubuntu's mirror urls with Debian's in the /etc/apt tree and simply issuing "aptitude update &&aptitude dist-upgrade", beware of the freedom. ;o) > I really appreciate the help and even just reading this email, and I > really hope to hear from you guys soon! :) Many advance thanks! :) ..well, I only offer ideas. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
