== Known Pitfalls ==
FlightGear versions <= 3.0 are known to have a cmake build system issue related to NOT automatically reconfiguring the SG/FG sources after updating the version files in in $SG_SRC and $FG_SRC, which basically means that using "git pull" to update your source trees (via the d&c script) will create the latest binaries, but they may not be looking for the right base package data, because the source trees are still using the old version files found in the cmake cache. This has been encountered by various contributors, including at least one core developer.
To work around this issue, simply switch to your SG/FG build directories and reconfigure each tree by running "cmake ." - for further info, see [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20304#p186647][http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&p=187413#p186942].
==Description==
The following script takes care of downloading and compiling FlightGear from the git repositories with just one command execution for both 32-bit and 64-bit Debian based systems (Debian, Ubuntu). Pre-existing installed version (if any) of FlightGear are not touched at all since the script builds and installs everything under the directory in which it is launched. You can choose between building all or only specific tools and applications. For redhat-based systems (Fedora, CentOS) you may want to check out [[CentOS]].

There is also another option for building FlightGear and all its dependencies in an automated fashion, please refer to: http://geoffmclane.com/fg/fgfs-052.htm
