; Versions
Finally, you have to chose which version of FlightGear you are building. This article uses two version names:
* '''GIT''': it is the name of the last development version. It is dynamic and it changes several times every week. The development version may content new features and a few bugs.
* '''2.12''': is the name of the current stable release. This version is frozen in time and it won't change.
A "git clone" command will download all versions of the source code. After that, you use "git checkout" to select a specific version. The commands to select a version will be listed in the next sections. For further information about the available branches and tags, check the [[Git]] article.

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-2.12</code> or <code>$HOME/FG-2.12</code>. This way also has the advantage of easily managing several FlightGear versions, even with different versions of OpenSceneGraph and/or plib, simply by altering the installation prefix. I suggest to make this directory writeable by the user so there is no need to become root for the <code>make -j2 install</code> commands. We'll use <code>$FG_INSTALL_DIR</code> as a placeholder for this directory. <br />

Another placeholder will be <code>$FG_SRC_DIR</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 instructions below, you have to replace these with the local paths or even <code>export</code> them (in every terminal you're using them) for the process:

Have in mind that the data is a relatively large download (GIT more than 7 GB and growing / 2.12 960 MB). So, to save some time, it is a good idea to [[#FlightGear data|fetch]] it while building the sources. <br />

To have a build with debugging symbols add <code>-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="RelWithDebInfo"</code> to SimGear's and FlightGear's cmake options.

[[Fgadmin]] is an optional tool in FlightGear to manually download scenery in case you can't use [[terrasync]], the preferred scenery management tool. Fgadmin will be automatically built if libfltk is found. To force not to build fgadmin even if libfltk is in your system, add "-DENABLE_FGADMIN=OFF" to the cmake command while building flightgear (see below)
