Because we are going to install versions different to the ones in the repositries it is recommended to install FG-2.0.0 and/or CVS in a place independent to the base system such as /usr/local/FG-2.0.0, /opt/FG-2.0.0 or in a subdirectory of your $HOME. I suggest to make it writeable by the user that there is no need to become root for the <code>make install</code> commands. I'll use <code>$prefix</code> as a placeholder for this directory. <BR>

Another one will be <code>$srcdir</code>, it stands for the absolute path to the directory which contains the folders of the various source codes. So in the following instructions one have to replace these by the local paths.

Have in mind that the data is relatively huge (CVS about 2 GB and 2.0.0 ... MB) so, to save some time, it is a good idea to fetch it while building the sources.

The libopenal-dev package in Lenny/Etch is too old for fgcom. For FG it does work but not all features (like Doppler) are avaiable, so installing an up to date version is recommended anyway. Get the latest source from http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx (file openal-soft-[version]) and extract it into <code>$srcdir</code>.

Version 1.8.5 is needed, packages are available for Testing/Unstable, plib1.8.5-dev. Lenny/Etch users have to compile and install it:
Latest SVN is [http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20793.html recommended], yet package plib1.8.5-dev for Testing/Unstable does work as well.

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]]. Have in mind that fgfs need to find our self compiled libraries and therefore we have to tell the linker (ld) where to find them. That is what the first line here does.
