 Another one will be <code>$srcdir</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 following instructions you have to replace these with the local paths or even <code>export</code> them during the process.

+Follow the instructions listed below to fetch the sources and the data needed by FlightGear and the commands to build/install each source.
 Have in mind that the data is a relatively large download (GIT about 3.5 GB and 2.2.0 300 MB). So, to save some time, it is a good idea to fetch it while building the sources.

-In some aspects FlightGear's development relies closely on plib and OpenSceneGraph. Therefore the GIT users are encouraged to update them regularly. Not each time one rebuilds FlightGear but from time to time.
-==== libopenal ====
 <u>Lenny only!</u> The libopenal-dev package in Lenny is too old for [[fgcom]]. For FlightGear it does work but not all features (like doppler) are available, so installing an up to date version is recommended anyway.

 Latest SVN is [http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20793.html recommended], yet package plib1.8.5-dev for Squeeze does work as well.

-=== FlightGear and Components ===
-FlighGear relies very closely on its data and SimGear. Therefore it is necessary to update them at one time.
-From this point forward when providing the <code>LDFLAGS</code> string, you should use the path specific to your installation. For 32-bit installations this will probably be the path ending in /lib. In a 64-bit installation, this '''may''' be the path ending in /lib64, but doesn't have to be. You must verify this for your build, because you do not have to include both paths in the following compilations.
