There are a couple of ways to create a Win32 executable from the CVS source. The free way is to use Cygwin (a Unix-style shell for WIndows). I recently wrote a tutorial document about how to download, install and use Cygwin to create an FG Win32 executable. The quick route to the document is this link (the slow route is to go to the FG home page, click Documentation on the left, scroll down to the Tutorials section and you'll find the reference there): http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/Tutorials/fg_cygwin/fgfs_cygwin.pdf An alternative route is to purchase the MSVC compiler. I'm told you'll get a better execuatable from MSVC. Cygwin will create an executable with slightly slower frame rates but, on a half decent PC, I haven't found this to be a problem. I'm happy to support this document. It needs a chapter specific to the recent 0.9.9 source release and, if you learn any new information or "gotchas", then contact me directly and I'll add the details. I'll quickly add that the doc is simply my attempt to encapsulate all of the build information that was already scattered in these forums. Good luck, Kevin. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
