== Build and install ==
Because we are going to install versions different to the ones in the Debian repositories, it is recommended to install FlightGear in a place independent of the base system, such as <code>/usr/local/FG-2.10.0</code> or <code>$HOME/FG-2.10.0</code>. This way also has the advantage of easily managing several FlightGear versions, even with different versions of OpenSceneGraph and/or plib. I suggest to make this directory writeable by the user so there is no need to become root for the <code>make -j2 install</code> commands. We'll use <code>$prefix</code> as a placeholder for this directory. <br />

Another placeholder will be <code>$srcdir</code>, it stands for the absolute path to the directory which is supposed to keep the folders of the various source codes. So, in the following instructions, you have to replace these with the local paths or even <code>export</code> them (in every terminal you're using them) during the process:

<!-- To be removed in summer 2013 -->
[http://www.fltk.org/ FLTK] only is required for [[fgadmin]], which is content with libfltk-1.1, and fgrun, which minimum is libfltk-1.3. <br />
<u>Lenny only!</u> The libopenal-dev package in Lenny is too old for [[fgcom]]. For FlightGear it does work but not all features (like doppler) are available, so installing an up to date version is recommended anyway.
<u>Wheezy</u>: Just install package libfltk1.3-dev if you're planning to use either of them. <br />
<u>Squeeze</u>: For fgadmin just install package libfltk1.1-dev. To compile fgrun, too, build and install FLTK-1.3 instead:
  cd $srcdir
  cd $srcdir
  wget http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-releases/openal-soft-1.12.854.tar.bz2

  tar xjf openal-soft-1.12.854.tar.bz2
  tar xzf fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz
  cd openal-soft-1.12.854/build
  cd fltk-1.3.2
  cmake  -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$prefix" ..
  ./configure --enable-shared --prefix/$prefix
