Hi,
I made a special package for OS X 10.5. Go get the package from:
http://macflightgear.sf.net/home/downloads
FlightGear-2.6.0 for Leopard is what you need.
I recommend this package for those who have OS X 10.5 or have problems running
the 2.6.0 original package on 10.6 or 10.7. This is tested on my old MacBook
pro with 10.5, so it should work on other 10.5 capable macs.
The "special" package is made with XCode 3.2.2 that was used to build
FlightGear 2.0.0. Due to huge differences on SDKs between 10.5 and 10.7, apple
gave up providing 10.5SDK on Xcode. This made it very difficult to make FG
compatible with 10.7 and 10.5.
Using Xcode 3.x on OS X 10.5 also has a problem. Since FG code is evolving day
to day, it uses newer spells that 10.5 SDK doesn't understand. So I made the
Come-on-FG-work-on-10.5! patch for this package :-p
Moreover, some Xcode version cannot build FG properly with full optimization
flags. I guess this is caused 50% by GCC bug and 50% by bad code like static
class initialization with dynamic memory allocation). So picked up a dev tool
that I can trust.
Though the special package is a bit slower than that for 10.6/10.7 (since the
latter is powered by LLVM that optimizes code much cleverer than GCC), it's
better to have working binary.
Anyway, I'm glad if this can save many FG Mac users.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
