[Flightgear-devel] A nit

2002-02-11 Thread John Wojnaroski
Hi, Going through a Cygwin FG build, notice that SimGear configure.in checks for the plib files, but plib is not required to build SimGear just FlightGear. Should that test be removed from SimGear or is this just a early heads up? Of course simgear could be used for other sims not using

[Flightgear-devel] Mac OS X updates (for 0.7.9)

2002-02-11 Thread Darrell Walisser
Mac OS X developers, Curt, (et. al.): I've built the current CVS repository of SimGear FlightGear on Mac OS X (v10.1.2). The file fgdev.tar.gz is README.MacOSX which contains the particulars about how to compile (this file should be added to docs-mini). There are still a few

Re: [Flightgear-devel] plib can't find GL/gl.h

cygwin should come with all the opengl libs and headers you need to build plib right out of the box. Perhaps there is an opengl cygwin package you need to install? Otherwise, check the contents of the config.log ... sometimes configure failures aren't quite what they seem. Failing that, you

Actually if you grep through the simgear source for plib includes you will find several, so simgear does indeed depend on plib in order to build. Ooops, that's weird, I turned off the plib directory and SimGear still built. I think I best check my make files and include paths and

RE: [Flightgear-devel] Time Options Not Working

2002-02-11 Thread Paul Deppe
The command-line time options appear to be broken in the latest CVS (Cygwin/Win2k). When I specify --start-date-gmt, --start-date-lat, or --time-offset, the time is still set to the current GMT. They worked in FGFS 0.7.8 and I'm not sure exactly where along the line they stopped

[Flightgear-devel] Sockets

Hi, Running FG under cygwin allows the socket output to be set to the broadcast address, 192.xxx.xxx.255. But under linux Fg returns an error that make_client_socket failed for the broadcast address. Looks like cygwin is faking it. there are socket options with the system call of 'int

Here's my list of things that have been changed, fixed, or added for 0.7.9. It's rather long, but if anyone sees any major ommissions or errors in this list, please let me know. Thanks. New for 0.7.9: * MSVC fixes. * IRIX fixes. * FreeBSD fixes. * Mac OS X fixes. * Better cygwin and mingwin

All I did was remove the following from config.h-msvc6 and everything still built (main.cxx also includes version.h). I noticed the CVS comment for the creation of version.h was to move the flightgear version into its own file. deleted symbols: /* Define to package version - use in main.cxx
