We want to allow Linux-based contributors to easily provide customized FlightGear binaries to Windows end users by cross-compiling FlightGear and all its dependencies (OpenSceneGraph, PLIB, OpenAL, SimGear etc), including support for the new osgEarth mode, developed by poweroftwo. | |||
For the sake of simplicity, we are hoping to provide a toolchain that is compatible with common *nix tools like ccache/distcc to help speed up compilation (especially on multi-core platforms), the focus of the underlying mxe-based tool chain will be building OpenSceneGraph 3.xx based applications like FlightGear and osgEarth. To keep mxe installation straightforward, we may provide deb/ppa packages (possibly using the OpenSuse Build Service) or even set up a VirtualBox appliance with mxe.osg pre-installed and configured for building OSG applications (including SG/FG). | For the sake of simplicity, we are hoping to provide a toolchain that is compatible with common *nix tools like ccache/distcc to help speed up compilation (especially on multi-core platforms), the focus of the underlying mxe-based tool chain will be building OpenSceneGraph 3.xx based applications like FlightGear and osgEarth.
