OK. Started with a fresh JSBSim checkout. The Makefile.linux is pretty out-of-date, and basically, broken. The attached patch gets things moving a bit further, but basically, I don't think this system is anywhere near as flexible as automake, so I'll be concentrating on that from now on.

Also, automake is getting confused between JSBSim.cpp (which contains main()), and JSBSim.cxx (the FDM interface). At link time, it creates the JSBSim.o, then overwrites it when it compiles the next one. Could one or other of these files be renamed for clarity? No chance. First (but not the

In the past, we've talked about removing JSBSim.cxx from the JSBSim distro completely, especially since it cannot be compiled there (much less tested). Yep. Right now we are in sort of a Mexican standoff situation. JSBSim.cxx exists only to support JSBSim. However, JSBSim.cxx is not compiled

Sorry :-) JSBSim.cxx is the interface (a.k.a. The Bus) that acts as the conduit for data trasnfer between JSBSim and FlightGear. It is not used in teh standalone version of JSBSim. JSBSim.cpp is the driver program that instantiates and runs JSBSim standalone. It is not used with FlightGear. Jon
