FlightGear is one of those projects that moves really fast :). I have it working great on SuSE 8.1, but its from a CVS build unfortuantly and its on 8.1. Ahh :o) 8.1 - was going to buy it, but then Christmas came and removed

Don't you sometimes hate xmas? :).

I take it you're on dial up? Otherwise you'd have done a CVS build. I have a 1MiBi cable modem connection. I will try the CVS build and see if that works ;o) If all else fails I may try downloading SuSE 8.1 and take it from there.

There are some instructions, step by step on linuxsimulations.org. These will link to relevant pages for you. Although, first thing to do is remove the SuSE version of FlightGear as you need to get later versions of metakit, simgear

PS must learn step by step guide on building rpms from source... *mental note* Must learn more about programming and compiling packages - I give up faaaar too easily ;o)

Hehe, compiling is usually ./configure make make install. Unless its a horrid package :). I would love to see this as a configure switch "/configure --make-rpm" and --make-deb :). Would be nice to then have a spec file with which to build an RPM.

Thanks for your reply - will look into downloading the latest CVS version, and if all else fails will try downloading SuSE 8.1, and putting it on a "spare" harddisk I have here for such "testing" purposes :grin:

8.0 shouldn't be an issue as far as I know; 8.1 came with GCC 3.2... FG has new models now, albeit currently unpainted, but you're in for a treat, so don't give up. Matt

I have done that [hopefully correctly], although the "step by step" instructions seem to just be for the graphics etc base package.

Its a fast moving target and one needs to have pre-liminary packages installed beforehand.

Yes, but I am working on them :). I take it you did: cvs -d :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 login CVS passwd: guest Then: cvs -d :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 co FlightGear Although before that you would need SimGear 3.1 from here: http://www.simgear.org/ Get the tarball, worked fine here :). In the folder called src-libs go and install metakit first.

Any idea?

8.0 shouldn't be an issue as far as I know; 8.1 came with GCC 3.2... Ahh :o)

Results on my box are: Scripts for input bindings: PSL scripts attached to input bindings will not work. Download the latest CVS version of plib if you would like to enable them. Hang in there, I need to update this and then re-compile the whole project. Wait a week and quite a bit changes :).

FG has new models now, albeit currently unpainted, but you're in for a treat, so don't give up. I looked on the site - excellent :o) I will keep perseveering ;o)

Good, once you're up and running it will be worthwhile. FG has a few features missing from the alternatives on Windows machines.... Matt

Matt mentioned you would need a new simgear. That looks like your problem above.

Thanks Joe, I didn't make that very clear. With projects of this type even a week can make a huge difference. Give it over three weeks and you might as well rip out plib, metakit etc and start from scratch with CVS builds :). Oh, hopefully the full release will be packaged with a Loki style installer, but that is still some way off. Matt

As an alternative, instead of make install, install checkinstall (from the CD), configure /etc/checkinstall to match your system, and type checkinstall instead of make install. This will make AND install an rpm, and your package will be removeable by rpm -e <package name>. HTH

Wow, thanks! Will be doing that from now on. Matt PS Running off to grab checkinstall.

No need to run off. It's been included in each distro that I know of since 7.3.

Found it already installed, thanks to Yast :). Just edited the file /etc/checkinstallrc now just waiting for simgear to compile to try it out. Might take awhile, also been doing a KDE3 .1 RC install to... Matt

You hijacked the "Re: [SLE] FlightGear again :o)" thread. You will probably get more answers if you start a new, non hijacked, thread. On your problem, /dev/modem is just a link you can change by hand. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
