Hi Kevin
Thanks for the positive reply and the encouragement.
How big is Cygwin?...it'll determine my download strategy. (tie up the
household phoen for hours or call in a favour from a broadband friend...LOL

Subject: [Flightgear-users] How to compile FG CVS on Win32 (prev. FGv9.9
andFGTools)

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.
