HowTo build [[FlightGear]] stable (<u>[[Changelog_3.6|3.6]]</u>) or bleeding edge development version, hereinafter simply called <u>[[GIT]]</u>, on [http://www.debian.org/ Debian] GNU/Linux Stable (<u>Jessie</u>). Users of Testing or Unstable at least have to change package names (version numbering) accordingly.

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-3.6</code> or <code>$HOME/FG-3.6</code>. This way also has the advantage of easily managing several FlightGear versions, even with different versions of OpenSceneGraph and/or plib, simply by altering the installation prefix. I suggest to make this directory writeable by the user so there is no need to become root for the <code>make -j2 && make install</code> commands. We'll use <code>$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:

Have in mind that the data is a relatively large download (GIT about 1.5 GiB (required disk space 3.1 GiB) and growing / 3.6 about 1.0 GiB). So, to save some time, it is a good idea to [[#FlightGear data|fetch]] it while building the sources. <br />
