#REDIRECT[[Building_FlightGear_-_Devuan]]
 
HowTo build [[FlightGear]] stable (<u>[[Changelog_3.4|3.4]]</u>) or bleeding edge development version, hereinafter simply called <u>[[GIT]]</u>, on [http://www.debian.org/ Debian] GNU/Linux Stable (<u>Wheezy</u>). Users of Testing or Unstable at least have to change package names (version numbering) accordingly.
 
The meaning of this article is to be a short, '''checklist''' like, overview of the specific steps to compile FlightGear and components on Debian. For more detailed information please refer to the main article [[Building_FlightGear_-_Linux | Building FlightGear on Linux]].
 
If you don't want to get your hands dirty, have a look at [[Scripted Compilation on Linux Debian/Ubuntu]].
 
[[File:Zeichen_144_icon.png|21px]] For beginners with compiling it is highly recommended to follow this guide step by step. Any modification to most of the here used commands may cause trouble.
 
 
== Requirements and Preparations ==
A bunch of packages (as well as some of their dependencies) are required to compile FlightGear:
 
; Tools
su -c "apt-get install automake cmake g++ gcc git make sed subversion"
 
 
; Dependencies
su -c "apt-get install  \
  freeglut3-dev  libboost-dev      libcurl4-openssl-dev  libdbus-1-dev \
  libfltk1.3-dev  libgtkglext1-dev  libjpeg8-dev          libopenal-dev \
  librsvg2-dev    libxml2-dev"
   
: If you prefer you might replace "libcurl4-openssl-dev" by "libcurl4-gnutls-dev".
: If "libjpeg8-dev" breaks package dependencies, just install one of the other versions' -dev.
: Add "libudev-dev" if you need FG's feature <code>-D EVENT_INPUT=ON</code>.
 
: [[File:Zeichen_144_icon.png|21px]] During installation development packages of libraries which are going to be compiled ''must not'' be installed. They can safely be re-installed after compilation. Namely here these might be "libplib-dev",<!-- "libfltk1.1-dev",--> "libopenscenegraph-dev", "libopenthreads-dev" and "simgear-dev".
<!--
osg: libxml2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtkglext1-dev libopenal-dev libpng12-dev librsvg2-dev libtiff4-dev
sg: libalut-dev libboost1.42-dev libsvn-dev
fg: freeglut3-dev (libfltk1.1-dev (für fgadmin) fluid) (libudev-dev)
-->
 
 
== 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-3.4</code> or <code>$HOME/FG-3.4</code>. This way also has the advantage of easily managing several FlightGear versions, even with different versions of OpenSceneGraph and/or plib, simply by altering the installation prefix. I suggest to make this directory writeable by the user so there is no need to become root for the <code>make -j2 install</code> commands. We'll use <code>$FG_INSTALL_DIR</code> as a [http://www.cmiss.org/cmgui/wiki/SettingEnvironmentVariablesInBash placeholder] for this directory. <br />
Another placeholder will be <code>$FG_SRC_DIR</code>, it stands for the absolute path to the directory which is supposed to keep the folders of the various source codes. So, in the instructions below, you have to replace these with the local paths or even <code>export</code> them (in every terminal you're using them) for the process:
export FG_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/FG-3.4-RC1 && mkdir $FG_INSTALL_DIR
export FG_SRC_DIR=$HOME/src && mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR
 
Have in mind that the data is a relatively large download (GIT about 8 GiB (required disk space 18 GiB) and growing / 3.4 about 1.1 GB). So, to save some time, it is a good idea to [[#FlightGear data|fetch]] it while building the sources. <br />
For some basic info on git commands for FlightGear users we have a [[Git_for_Laymen#How_do_I_use_the_git_repository_to_update_Flightgear_stuff.3F|git for laymen]] section. <br />
 
For more/advanced cmake options and SimGear's and FlightGear's optional features see the [[Building_using_CMake#Optional_Features|cmake]] article.
 
 
<!--
=== libfltk ===
[http://www.fltk.org/ FLTK] is required for [[fgadmin]], which is content with libfltk-1.1, and fgrun, which minimum is libfltk-1.3.
 
<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:
 
<nowiki>cd $FG_SRC_DIR
wget http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/fltk/1.3.2/fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz
tar xzf fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz
cd fltk-1.3.2
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$FG_INSTALL_DIR
make -j2 install</nowiki>
 
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)
-->
 
=== [[plib]] ===
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>: <br />
Latest SVN is [http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20793.html required].
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/plib/code/trunk plib.svn</nowiki>
cd plib.svn
sed s/PLIB_TINY_VERSION\ \ 5/PLIB_TINY_VERSION\ \ 6/ -i src/util/ul.h
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$FG_INSTALL_DIR
make -j2 install
 
 
=== libboost ===
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>: <br />
Unfortunately version 1.52 or newer is recommended while Wheezy ships with 1.49:
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>wget -O boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.52.0/boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2/download</nowiki>
tar xjf boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2
cp -R boost_1_52_0/boost $FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/
 
 
=== [[OpenSceneGraph]] ===
<u>3.4</u>'s optimum version is OSG 3.2.1. <br />
<u>GIT</u> users, especially developers, may want to use the latest [http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/download-section/developer-releases DeveloperRelease] or even bleeding edge code here instead.<br />
 
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>svn co http://svn.openscenegraph.org/osg/OpenSceneGraph/tags/OpenSceneGraph-3.2.1</nowiki>
mkdir build-osg; cd build-osg
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -D LIB_POSTFIX="" -D Boost_INCLUDE_DIR="$FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/" \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/OpenSceneGraph-3.2.1
make -j2 install
 
 
=== [[SimGear]] ===
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/simgear simgear.git</nowiki>
 
<u>3.4</u> only:
cd simgear.git
git checkout origin/release/3.4.0
 
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-sg; cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-sg
cmake -D Boost_INCLUDE_DIR="$FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/" \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/simgear.git
make -j2 install
 
 
=== FlightGear source ===
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/flightgear flightgear.git</nowiki>
 
<u>3.4</u> only:
cd flightgear.git
git checkout origin/release/3.4.0
 
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fg; cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fg
cmake -D Boost_INCLUDE_DIR="$FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/" \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/flightgear.git
make -j2 install
 
 
=== FlightGear data ===
<u>3.4</u> only: Please have a look at the [http://www.flightgear.org/download/mirror/ mirror list] for a server close to your location.
cd $FG_INSTALL_DIR
<nowiki>wget ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/software/flightgear/ftp/Shared/FlightGear-data-3.4.0-RC1.tar.bz2</nowiki>
tar xjf FlightGear-data-3.4.0-RC1.tar.bz2
 
<u>GIT</u> only:
For slow/unstable internet connections it is recommended to download the [[FlightGear_Git:_data_developers#Bundle|fgdata.bundle]] instead of cloning the data.<br />
cd $FG_INSTALL_DIR
<nowiki>git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/fgdata fgdata</nowiki>
 
 
== Trial run and finishing process ==
When all the builds are done and the data download has finished it is time for a test run:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$FG_INSTALL_DIR/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$FG_INSTALL_DIR/bin/fgfs --fg-root=$FG_INSTALL_DIR/fgdata
: The <code>fgfs</code> binary needs to find our self compiled libraries at runtime and therefore we have to tell the linker (ld) where to find them. That is what the first line here does. You might want to add this line to your <code>$HOME/.bashrc</code> to have this as a persistent setting (may cause problems, if one has installed more than one version of FlightGear!).
: Have in mind, the <code>$FG_INSTALL_DIR</code> and <code>$FG_SRC_DIR</code> variables are available for this session only. For future use of these lines, replace them by the real paths.
 
To avoid the need to give the path to the <code>fgfs</code> command each time, you might consider to create a symlink at a place that is listed in $PATH:
ln -s $FG_INSTALL_DIR/bin/fgfs $HOME/bin/fgfs
 
For the future, if you want to start FlightGear from command line have a look at [[fgfsrc]], if you prefer a graphical user interface continue with [[#fgrun|compiling fgrun]] or check out another [http://wiki.flightgear.org/Category:FlightGear_front_ends launcher].
 
 
== Optional Software ==
[[File:Zeichen_101_icon.png|21px]] Some of the below instructions possibly are not up to date. Please feel free to revise them.
 
Feel free to add the commands to install other FlightGear related projects.
 
=== [[Atlas]] ===
One more Package has to be installed: "libglew1.5-dev"
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>git clone http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/atlas</nowiki>
cd atlas
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$FG_INSTALL_DIR --with-fgbase=$FG_INSTALL_DIR/data
make -j2 install
cp -R $FG_SRC_DIR/atlas/src/data/* $FG_INSTALL_DIR/data/Atlas
<!--If it does not compile, go back some commits. Before invoking the <code>autogen.sh</code> command do:
git reset --hard 5a27c351a8c03c7fa47cba0b4af7f4e23e4c31b0-->
 
$FG_INSTALL_DIR/bin/Atlas
 
 
=== [[FGCom_3.0|fgcom 3.0]] ===
 
There is nothing to compile because FGCom 3.0 is compiled with FlightGear.
 
If you can't compile FlightGear you can download a pre-built binary at [http://fgcom.flightgear.org/download http://fgcom.flightgear.org/download]
 
=== fgcom (FG 2.12 and former) ===
For [[fgcom]] install package "libasound2-dev".
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>git clone http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/fgcom fgcom.git</nowiki>
cd fgcom.git
git checkout -b next origin/next
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fgcom; cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fgcom
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/fgcom.git
make -j2 install
Create an .alsoftrc file as shown in [[FGCOM_Testing#Special_for_Linux_.28.alsoftrc.29|FGCOM Testing]].
 
 
=== [[fgrun]] ===
Package "fluid" has to be installed. <br />
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgrun.git fgrun.git</nowiki>
 
<u>3.4</u> only:
cd fgrun.git
git checkout origin/release/3.4.0
 
<u>3.4</u> and <u>GIT</u>:
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fgrun; cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-fgrun
cmake -D Boost_INCLUDE_DIR="$FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/" \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/fgrun.git
make -j2 install
 
Execute it:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$FG_INSTALL_DIR/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$FG_INSTALL_DIR/bin/fgrun
 
 
=== TaxiDraw ===
[[File:Zeichen_101_icon.png|21px]] Obsolete for airport creation, use [[WorldEditor]] instead. It is still useful for working on [[Interactive_traffic#Ground_networks|ground networks]]. <br />
To compile [[Taxidraw|TaxiDraw]] we need to install some more packages:
* either "libcurl4-gnutls-dev" or "libcurl4-openssl-dev" for curl.h
* "wx2.8-headers" (at least, maybe even more than just that one. Please [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Talk:Building_FlightGear_-_Debian&action=edit&redlink=1 report]!
su -c "aptitude install [libcurl4-gnutls-dev|libcurl4-openssl-dev]"
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
<nowiki>git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/taxidraw</nowiki>
cd taxidraw
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$FG_INSTALL_DIR
make -j2 install
 
 
=== [[TerraGear]] ===
==== Automatic Installation ====
[[BuildingTerraGear_in_Ubuntu_910_(32-_or_64-bit)#Automatic Installation|link]]
If you are familiar with "download_and_compile.sh" script from Brisa you can donwload this script: http://clement.delhamaide.free.fr/download_and_compile_tg.sh
This script is similar to Brisa's one (only usable for Debian/Mint/Ubuntu). This script installs TerraGear (latest version) and terragear-gui.
 
; ''How to use it?''
sh terragear_download_and_compile.sh -j 2 ALL
 
; ''Need some help?''
Look at forum topics: http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=14849
 
After success installation you can exectute this command line in the terragear/bin directory in order to display every --help for each binary files:
cd terragear/bin && for i in `ls`; do echo ""; echo "################# "$i" ##############"; ./$i --help; done
 
==== Basic Installation ====
To resolve some of the dependencies of TerraGear the <u>GIT</u> sections of steps [[#plib|plib]], [[#OpenSceneGraph|OpenSceneGraph]] and [[#SimGear|SimGear]] have to be done first. Additionally some packages and their dependencies have to be installed:
su -c "apt-get install \
  libgdal-dev libtiff4-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev"
 
<u>Squeeze</u> users have to compile the CGAL dependency.
On <u>Wheezy</u> just install package "libcgal-dev" instead.
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
wget https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/31174/CGAL-4.0.2.tar.bz2
tar xjf CGAL-4.0.2.tar.bz2
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-cgal; cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-cgal
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/CGAL-4.0.2
make -j2 install
 
<!--
# gpc install
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/gpc232 && cd $FG_SRC_DIR/gpc232
wget ftp://ftp.cs.man.ac.uk/pub/toby/gpc/gpc232-release.zip
unzip gpc232-release.zip
sed s/DBL_EPSILON/0.000001/ -i gpc.h
grep -A 18 '# Unix/Linux makefile' $FG_SRC_DIR/terragear-cs/README.gpc > Makefile
sed "s|/usr/local/lib|$FG_INSTALL_DIR/lib|" -i Makefile

wget http://www.robertnz.net/ftp/newmat11.tar.gz
tar xzfv newmat11.tar.gz
make -f nm_gnu.mak
cp libnewmat.a $FG_INSTALL_DIR/lib
mkdir $FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/newmat
cp *.h $FG_INSTALL_DIR/include/newmat
-->
Compile TerraGear:
cd $FG_SRC_DIR
git clone git://git.gitorious.org/fg/terragear.git
mkdir $FG_SRC_DIR/build-tg; cd $FG_SRC_DIR/build-tg
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$FG_INSTALL_DIR" $FG_SRC_DIR/terragear
make -j2 install
