: You can build the -Meta solution from a Visual Studio command prompt using msbuild, or open up the .sln in the IDE and again hit build. The first time will be slow - OpenSceneGraph and Boost will be downloaded and compiled, followed by all of simgear and finally flightgear.<br />This step creates ''FlightGear.sln'' in C:\FGFS\metabuild\fgbuild | |||
C:\FGFS\metabuild | Once the -Meta build completes, you will already have a flyable executable in either C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100-64\FlightGear\bin or C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100\FlightGear\bin depending on whether it's 64 or 32 bit. Other files such as fgrun.exe can be found and copied from the nearby folders under \install if required. | ||
It is easier to run FlightGear by closing the -Meta solution, and instead opening the FlightGear.sln in C:\FGFS\metabuild\fgbuild. From here you can set 'fgfs' as the startup project, enter any command line options, and debug / hack / run the code as normal. | |||
Note you will need to add the OpenSceneGraph install directory to the PATH variables in the 'fgfs' target properties; the dir will be something like C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100\OpenSceneGraph\bin. Again this step will hopefully go away soon, | Note you will need to add the OpenSceneGraph install directory to the PATH variables in the 'fgfs' target properties; the dir will be something like C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100\OpenSceneGraph\bin.

Using other generators / IDEs: untested, but quite likely to work if they already work with CMake. Try it out. | Using other generators / IDEs: untested, but quite likely to work if they already work with CMake. Try it out. | ||
