Hi John W., You do not say WHICH wiki write-up(s) you are having problems with, nor exactly what the problems are... so can not really help much...
For my part, after re-RE-reading carefully through :- http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_FlightGear_-_Windows I started meticulously and methodically working through :- http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_using_CMake_-_Windows If there are other, newer write ups, I too would like to know about them... And that is aside from the 100 odd pages, now getting 'old'!, I have already written on this * BUILDING FG * topic - see - http://geoffair.org/fg This new attempt is in a new Windows 7 64-bits machine, using MSVC10... a fresh start for me... To add to my pain ;=)) I also wanted, where possible, do build each of the dependent libraries for myself, so it took some time to get ALL that/those in place... I presently have a c:\FG\10\3rdparty folder with some 1,500+ files, 370+ MB of data... Yesterday, eventually got a fgfs.exe linked, together with some 10 other 'utilities', yasim.exe, fgjs.exe, js_demo.exe, etc to terrasync.exe... But fgfs.exe 'crashes' after quite a few seconds, maybe a minutes of loading ;=(( showing 'loading scenery' on the flash screen, and the last console output is - Initializing Nasal Electrical System then POOF... Using --log-level=debug here is the full text of that redirection - http://geoffair.org/tmp/templog.txt It is about 23+ MB... including some 280,000 Adding flight: ;=)) The last content in there is - Playing audio after 0 sec: rumble Playing looped so naturally will first check and recheck the OpenAL stuff... or something/everything else... And that is just the 'Release' config, so must now try for the 'Debug' config build and run to see if I can trace through and find the problem... slow, hard work ;=() but LOTS OF FUN! If you tell more exactly, either on this list, or direct off list, maybe can help more with SPECIFIC things... Regards, Geoff.
