FlightGear Multiplayer did not build directly on FreeBSD without a couple of modifications. Below are the steps to build the lastest *nix release (v0.11.0 as of July 2013) on FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE. For generic setup information see Howto:Set up a multiplayer server

Download

If you do not have git installed you must install it first

cd /usr/ports/devel/git
make install clean

Download the latest version of fgms and create a build directory

git clone git://gitorious.org/fgms/fgms-0-x.git
mkdir fgms-build
cd fgms-build/

Modifications

  • I received two errors when building. malloc.h appears to be depreciated on FreeBSD and is replaced another already included source file so just comment it out.
  • Also I received compile error on one file because integer constants were too large so just convert them to real.

The commands below will automatically make the above modifications.

sed -i '' -e "s|#include <malloc.h>|//#include <malloc.h>|" ../fgms-0-x/src/libcli/libcli.cxx
sed -i '' -e "s|1125899906842624|1125899906842624.|" ../fgms-0-x/src/server/fg_util.cxx
sed -i '' -e "s|1099511627776|1099511627776.|" ../fgms-0-x/src/server/fg_util.cxx

Building

cmake ../fgms-0-x
cmake --build .
make install
cp -n ../fgms-0-x/contrib/etc/fgms_production.skel.conf /etc/fgms.conf

Configuring

Make sure you edit the installed configuration file /etc/fgms.conf Shown below are the lines I changed in /etc/fgms.conf

server.name = newmpserver
server.address = 64.69.45.88
server.logfile = /var/log/fgms.log
server.daemon = true
#relay.host = mpserver01.flightgear.org
#relay.port = 5000
server.out_of_reach = 10000

Running

fgms -c /etc/fgms.conf
processing /etc/fgms.conf
# using logfile /var/log/fgms.log
