Line 548: Line 602:
* We keep seeing people asking for ways to have an entirely self-contained FlightGear setup that doesn't require any installation (e.g. either all files residing in a single folder or the whole binary linked statically) - we used to support this a few years go, and we even had people using FG on a USB drive, or on boot-able drives - and we commonly suggest that people first try running FG on computers before purchasing any new hardware  - so it would make sense to look at what's needed to still support static builds using the mxe tool chain. This may involve making the static/dynamic configuration options configurable in the corresponding *.mk files.
