Required Packages
This is a list of all the apt-get commands I had to do while compiling FG, SG, and OSG on a mostly clean Ubuntu (13.04) x86_64 system. It is a list of all the libraries you and your computer needs to compile FG, SG, OSG, and PLib. All you have to do is copy the full command, paste it in Terminal, enter your password, and it will download all the packages for you, and install them too. The full command is at the bottom, and I hope someone finds it useful :) sub-dependencies (dependencies of the dependencies) are not included as they are installed automatically by apt-get. If anyone sees something missing, please add it.
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| git | Distributed revision control system (to get SG and FG source code) |
| subversion | revision control system (to get OSG) |
| build-essential | standard build tools (includes gcc) |
| cmake | cross-platform, open-source make system |
| cmake-curses-gui | curses based user interface for CMake |
| libpng12-dev | PNG library |
| libfreetype6-dev | FreeType 2 font engine |
| libjpeg-dev | JPEG library |
| libgif-dev | GIF library |
| libtiff5-dev | TIFF library |
| libxmu-dev | X11 miscellaneous utility library |
| libxi-dev | X11 Input extension library |
| freeglut3-dev | OpenGL Utility Toolkit |
| libalut-dev | OpenAL Utility Toolkit |
| libboost-dev | Boost C++ Libraries |
| automake | Tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles |
| autoconf | automatic configure script builder |
| libfltk1.1-dev | Fast Light Toolkit |
Command line to install all of the above listed packages:
sudo apt-get install git subversion build-essential cmake cmake-curses-gui libpng12-dev libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev libtiff5-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglut3-dev libalut-dev libboost-dev automake autoconf libfltk1.1-dev
NOTE: On a Linux Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04) system this is the command I used:
sudo apt-get install git-core subversion build-essential cmake cmake-curses-gui libpng-dev libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev libungif4-dev libtiff-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglut3-dev libalut-dev libboost-dev ''automake autoconf'' libfltk1.1-dev libplib-dev libopenscenegraph-dev
You just need to copy that long line into a terminal and you should have all the packages you need to compile Flightgear and Simgear.
