some of us may still be running ubuntu's 14.04 LTS for various reasons... building flightgear from the repo is pretty easy with the download_and_compile.sh script... one thing, though, is that terragear won't build because 14.04 has an old GDAL library, v1.17.something, but we can work around that... | == Motivation == | ||

that should do it... when download_and_compile.sh finishes, you should have a nice shiny set of terragear tools that you can play with building scenery... remember, this uses your old GDAL v1.17 so none of the newer code specific to GDAL stuff will be able to be used... future updates to this terragear will also have to be cherry-picked or hand-written... | that should do it... when download_and_compile.sh finishes, you should have a nice shiny set of terragear tools that you can play with building scenery... remember, this uses your old GDAL v1.17 so none of the newer code specific to GDAL stuff will be able to be used... future updates to this terragear will also have to be cherry-picked or hand-written... | ||
