Because we are going to install versions different to the ones in the repositories, it is recommended to install FlightGear in a place independent of the base system, such as <code>/usr/local/FG-2. | Because we are going to install versions different to the ones in the repositories, it is recommended to install FlightGear in a place independent of the base system, such as <code>/usr/local/FG-2.8.0</code> or <code>$HOME/FG-2.8.0</code>. This way also has the advantage of easily managing several FlightGear versions, even with different versions of OpenSceneGraph and/or plib. I suggest to make this directory writeable by the user so there is no need to become root for the <code>make install</code> commands. We'll use <code>$prefix</code> as a placeholder for this directory. <br /> | ||
Another placeholder will be <code>$srcdir</code>, it stands for the absolute path to the directory which is supposed to keep the folders of the various source codes. So, in the following instructions, you have to replace these with the local paths or even <code>export</code> them during the process: | Another placeholder will be <code>$srcdir</code>, it stands for the absolute path to the directory which is supposed to keep the folders of the various source codes.

<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. | <u>Lenny only!</u> The libopenal-dev package in Lenny is too old for [[fgcom]].
