-During installation package ''simgear-dev'' '''must not''' be installed. It can safely be re-installed after compilation. Same for ''openscenegraph-dev'', if you're using a version other than in the Debian repository.

-Because we are going to install versions different to the ones in the repositries it is recommended to install FG-2.2.0 and/or GIT in a place independent to the base system such as /usr/local/FG-2.2.0, /opt/FG-2.2.0 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 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.
