No luck. At this point all I wish to do is create a more accurate taxiway layout for some of my favourite airports in taxidraw (I can do that in Windows, or run the Windows version of taxidraw). I understand I can import those layouts into fgsd, in the X-plane .dat format, then save the altered scenery back to fgfs - if thats not correct please tell me, as I'll need to halt this entire frustrating exercise until those features are added... Compiling fgsd (I'm not doing terragear now) has proved way too hard. Each dependency had its own dependencies on my suse 10.1 system, and some of those were very hard to build (very few are in rpm's, so build from source is required). I thought I'd got through all the required libs yesterday, but in some the config scripts will allow you to make when some stuff is missing, that is actually required by something else. Its an annoying mess, and trying to make fgsd failed on a missing file which in turn meant some functions were not declared which stopped the compiler. It seems that when the config script is happy enough to create the Makefile it still isn't a guarantee the software will build. If I were a programmer I'd lump all the code into one project, so that everything is there in one download - no more farting about trying to download obscure libs after each failed attempt at creating a makefile, and with the projects like fgsd/terragear it amazes me that no-one who has successfully built these softwares has then taken the liberty of packaging them in easy to use stuff like debs and rpms, to save others from the misery... :-( Chris Wilkinson, Brisbane, Australia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
