Hi All, I've just changed from many years of Mandrake to Debian Sarge. One thing I noticed when researching the move is lots of dire warnings about not polluting the filetree with non-Deb apps.
I'm pretty familiar with compiling FG from source and CVS. Are there any special considerations I need to look out for when compiling FG for my Debian system? Things like PREFIX flags etc so that the binaries end up in the 'correct' place? (/usr/local is ok for anything non-Deb, yes?) Also, the current version of FG needs a newer version of plib than Sarge provides. What are the ramifications of installing both Deb plib and CVS plib at the same time? [just had a thought] Is there a way to build a deb package from a CVS source and install it using apt? That would get around the plib problem above. Sorry about the number of questions; this is my first install of a major non-Deb piece of software and I don't want to screw up the packaging system just yet. ;) Thanks for any help, Nick _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
