HowTo build on Gentoo
The stable releases can be obtained directly from the official Gentoo portage tree.
Installing GIT versions
There is a gaming overlay available which contains ebuilds for FG from GIT, including Terragear-cs and other things:
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gamerlay.git;a=summary
Instructions on how to add an overlay to Gentoo can be found here
Build and install
The overlay contains live ebuilds (meaning ebuilds that install programs from an GIT repository) for
- Flightgear
- fgrun
- Terragear-cs
- Taxidraw
including all dependencies.
To install a program, all that's needed is i.e.:
emerge -av flightgear
Another benefit is the possibility to do automatic updates of all installed "live" ebuilds:
emerge -a1v @live-rebuild
