Hi Georg,
I am OK to try your offer.
I have already done steps :
a) , b),
I have installed WinCVS vers.1.2 and downloaded last cvsnt vers 2.5, tell
me which product is appropriate.
c) I will need your detailed explains
d) , e) I am running a Windows2000 system, so I will use your
FlightGearTools V1.2
Thanks.
Regards.
Rony.
Hi Rony,
one of my further problems was due to using WinCVS, then I read in these
mailing list not todo so but use Cygwin CVS.
Therefore I would go these steps:
(THANK YOU *KEVIN JONES* who advised me detailled how to compile
FlightGear CVS under Cygwin
I copied some text out of his instructions :-) which will be published
as a *.pdf file soon as I hope)
Downloads:
cyg_openAL.tgz from
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/cyg_openAL.tgz
(THANK YOU *NORMAN VINE*)
Untar/zip with Winzip, if you don't have it, ask me for proceeding
under Cygwin
..
copy openal32.dll to c:\windows\system32\openal32.dll
(change path names as appropriate)
Start Cygwin
(The following are commands you have to type in after $.
Keep attention to type the whitespaces (' ') correct!)
cd /..
mkdir fg-cvs
cd fg-cvs
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 login
password is guest
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 co data
exit
You are now back to Windows GUI:
Downloads:
Zipped FlightGear CVS bin
http://home.arcor.de/vollnhals-bremen/FGCVSBin/bin.zip
Unzip and put it into your Cygwin\fg-cvs\data folder
Downloads:
FlightGearTools V1.2
http://home.arcor.de/vollnhals-bremen/FGTools12/FGToolsInstall.zip
Downloads:
Further sceneries from the FlightGear scenery download site as you
wish, ie your local scenery.
Install as requiered (- data\scenery\terrain)
Unzip it. You may put it anywhere but into a seperate folder (as
FGTools creates some configfiles which should be in the same folder as
the *.exe). Run FGTools. Select Cygwin page. Select the pathes (only
once as a config, is stored). Go to bottom keys. Create a list of the
installed aircraft you have (make new list-key, only once until you
get other aircraft installed). Select the airport you want to fly from
(type in the 4 letter code and - if you wish - parted by a whitespace a
description of the airport, ie. EDDW Bremen. FGTools makes a history
list so that you can go back to all the airports you typed in. And it
selects only the first 4 chars as ICAO code for FlightGear.
You have to check or uncheck if you want to select an airport, aircraft,
inout-command (for Atlas) or special parameter you type in (predefined
is --aircraft=hunter --carrier=CVN-6 --parkpos=cat-1, you might also
change to --aircraft=a4 --car... or any other parameter combination
you want to give to FlightGear/see FG start manual). If you select an
aircraft in special parameter don't select the aircraft check-box.
You may install the *Win32* atlas binaries and proceed as described in
the manual enclosed which was aimed to the official version
FlightGearTools 1.1. This is handled from page 2 of FGTools.
But it is possible to start CygWin CVS FlightGear and Win32-atlas from
FGTools and have it synchronized.
After having selected your wished parameters just click on Run
FlightGear (Cygwin). Don't worry - this may last a pretty long time
until FlightGear is loaded and run up :-/
But after it is fired the performance is acceptable although the
framerate is lower than the pure Win32 FG binaries.
Ask me if something does not work.
Keep in mind, this is not documented until now as I made it only for my
own use as I cannot compile pure Win32 CVS binaries, so Cygwin was a chance.
Hope it works, give feedback after download. I would like to clear my
webspace.
Regards
Georg HeliFLYer EDDW
BTW:
If you want to update the CVS *data* in a further stage, you only have
to do this *under* *Cygwin*:
(Cygwin prompt $:)
cd /fg-cvs/data
cvs update -d -P
exit
But pay attention, sometimes changes of the data don't work with the
older compiled source, but this is - of course - very normal as source
and data are *developed*. So, to be safe, make a backup of the data
folder before trying, so you can go back to the old version.
