[Flightgear-devel] Cmake (soon)

2011-10-17 Thread James Turner
It's been a month since I announced the intention, to switch all the main FG platforms to use CMake, and to deprecate and remove the other build systems from Git. There's been many small improvements in the Cmake files since then, which I hope have eased some people's concerns about the switch.

2011-10-17 Thread Curtis Olson
Hi James, One thing that stresses me out is large scale technology changes with no documentation or howto's to back them up. This change might be fine for people who are cmake experts. And I know anyone can start from scratch and read the cmake manual from cover to cover. But that takes time an

[Flightgear-devel] SGMath headers

2011-10-17 Thread Csaba Halász
While investigating a reported compilation error, I had a look in the SGMath headers. I noticed some of them don't properly include their dependencies (for example, SGMisc is missing SGCMath, SGGeodesy is missing SGVec3 and SGGeod, etc.). I am wondering if they are supposed to be available for sta

I can't provide specifics yet, but I have a feeling our old friends, random segfaults and "glibc detected" memory corruption, are back with a vengeance. Anybody else noticed it? -- Csaba/Jester -- All the data continuous
