'''Hooray:'''Obviously, one major part of this would involve installing/packaging SimGear and TerraGear as *.deb files. | |||
This would greatly simplify the installation - we do have several instructions related to this, and even a script - so we could change the script to build SG/TG and then package things afterwards. | |||
Part of the work may have been already done. We are distributing simgear in two packages (since there are two libraries): libsimgearcore and libsimgearscene. libsimgearcore doesn't have any graphical dependencies; it only depends on libc6. libexpat, libgcc1, libstdc++6, and zlib1g. The only drawback here is that the -dev package includes headers for both libraries, which would require both libraries be installed. Would libsimgearcore be equivalent to the library produced by SIMGEAR_HEADLESS? | Ideally, SimGear would be built in "headless" mode - i.e. minus all the OSG dependencies, no sound etc required: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_using_CMake#SimGear_Build_Options | ||
So we would first of all end up with something like "libsimgear-headless-dev" which could be used to build TerraGear. | |||
The next step would be creating a package for TerraGear itself that depends on SimGear-headless-dev | |||
Once these two steps are completed, setting up TerraGear on Linux should become much more straightforward. | |||
And we could use these packages to set up a TerraGear build server. | |||
All this will be based on TurnKeyLinux, which is a debian/wheezy based distro, intended for "remastering" - so that new virtual appliances can be easily created, and exported - so that others can install an ISO file to get a working TG setup. | |||
For now, I simply built SG headless (libsimgearcore) and installed it system-wide and it's working properly. | |||
But obviously it would be better to come up with packages for both, SG and TG (64bit). | |||
Which would be useful for all debian/ubuntu users, not just this particular effort. | |||
Also, we would need to publish those packages, so that people only need to add the repo to download updates automatically. | |||
Overall, this would help greatly simplify TG deployment obviously, no matter if it's about having a build server or not. | |||
Looking at SG/FG, the best option seems to be to use cmake's cpack support to create packages: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators | |||
:'''saiarcot895''': I think I can help here. | |||
