Following steps walk through downloading the FlightGear source code, compile and run on Ubuntu 13.04 (x86_64)
Required Packages
Install the following packages and libraries to be able to compile FlightGear:
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 freeglut3-dev libalut-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libboost-dev libplib-dev libopenscenegraph-dev libsvn-dev libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev
Download source
Create a fgsrc directory and get the source code with git:
mkdir ~/fgsrc cd ~/fgsrc git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/simgear.git git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear.git git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git
Compile
Create directory to install FlightGear in and create environment variable:
export prefix=$HOME/FG-install && mkdir $prefix
Create a build directory for each package and run cmake from there:
SimGear:
cd ~/fgsrc mkdir build-sg cd build-sg cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$prefix" ~/fgsrc/simgear make -j2 install
FlightGear:
cd ~/fgsrc mkdir build-fg cd build-fg cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$prefix" ~/fgsrc/flightgear make -j2 install
Run
Link fgdata to the data directory in FG-install
cd $prefix ln -s ~/fgsrc/fgdata data
Run executable:
$prefix/bin/fgfs --fg-root=$prefix/data
Troubleshooting
- Link error undefined reference to symbol 'dlopen@@GLIBC_2.2.5
- Uninstall fltk 1.3 library
sudo apt-get remove libfltk1.3-dev
