Hello, The test I have done was with a cvs version of freeglut from last saturday (14/01/2006).
Yes, the problem is reported on the Web but it doesn't help anyone that is trying FlighGear for the first time. For many the steps "./configure && make && make install" are the only steps they know to compile software, and it isn't difficult. The problem is this kind of showstoppers that happens in some software like in freeglut. You mentioned something that I asked on the original post, should be preferable to use SDL instead of (free)glut? On the documentation it is always written that freeglut (or glut) is mandatory to compile and use FlightGear, I never saw anything about SDL. Am I missing something? I have found the --enable-sdl in "./configure --help" tested and fgfs worked but was a despair move. Nothing else worked to solve the problem. I am not trying to make a war with anyone, nor the freeglut developers, nor the FlightGear developers. I only want to help make FlightGear easier to deploy for people with less knowledge than me with Open Source Software. Good software should be available to everyone. :) Regards, Luis Sismeiro On 1/17/06, AJ MacLeod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 17 January 2006 10:28, Luis Sismeiro wrote: > > For starters the freeglut still has the problem that causes an error > > with FlightGear.
