Could you provide more info, please!

Just went through the steps to compile the git version and it went fine. Without further info I am not able to investigate.

Issues while compiling FG 3.6.0

After writing "git checkout origin/release/3.6.0" I get this message:

Note: checking out 'origin/release/3.6.0'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

 git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at fdcef8e... Fix #1783: repeated error message on console
agonzalez@debian-ul30a:~/Flightgear/src/simgear.git$ cd simgear.git
bash: cd: simgear.git: file o directory does not exist

About the first code block:
This is just a warning and for plain users it's ok to compile from that state. And since origin/release/3.6.0 is not a branch for development, this even is ok for developers. There's only one reason for why one would want to create a local branch from it: to apply patches. I am open for discussion on that point, though. I am not entirely certain whether this is 'the correct' way, especially because it might confuse users without any git experience at all.

PLIB notes

  • I had to use the old revision to compile, in two different computers (both with Squeeze).
The problem has been reported to plib devel mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29695942
  • FlightGear 2.6.0 compiles with the Squeeze own plib, but 2.8.0 does not.
Hmh, that's interesting....
