Building FlightGear
The FlightGear developers release stable packaged versions of FlightGear with an easy install wizard. For convenience, most FlightGear users download and install these packages.
However, the source files used to build the whole FlightGear package are continuously being developed by dozens of contributors, who collaborate using the source code management system Git to create a new "unstable" version. If you want to use one of these unstable versions, or tinker with the source files to create your own custom version, the pages below describe how to compile the FlightGear package from the Git source files (repository at GitLab.com/flightgear).
If you'd like to use an integrated development environment, illustrated instructions for building FlightGear and its dependencies can be found in Howto:Build FlightGear with NetBeans using CMake, this should work on both, Windows and Linux systems (NetBeans being a cross-platform IDE).
Another option to run the latest code without having to compile everything yourself, is using a precompiled "nightly" binary, available from our website.
