VS 2015 for win 10
Can I use Visual studio 2015 for win 10? --Necolatis (talk) 22:40, 3 February 2017 (EST)
Apperently not, it seems the Visual Studio to use is called "for Windows Desktop".. --Necolatis (talk) 00:33, 4 February 2017 (EST)
- Yes, Win10 is supported.
Still up to date?
It seem the article isn`t up to date anymore.
For noobs like me, who never compilated any program before, the tutorial is sometimes hard to follow. So I already changed a small error in this tutorial which prevented to compilate. Anyway, I get following error message every time I want to launch: base package not found, requird data files not found, check yout installation, looking for base-package files at:´../data´
So I tried the next part of the tutorial just to end here : "The first time you'll have to choose where FGDATA is -- to do this, select the 'fgdata' directory you cloned at the start." It is not clear to me where to select.
Any Idea? --HHS (talk) 07:01, 13 December 2020 (EST)

Please do elaborate. It should be up to date as of November 2020.

It shouldn't ask you any more than once ...?
Did you have the folder structure matching the one given here? Example: https://i.imgur.com/9rEzkPu.png

I had difficulties to follow some of the steps, especially downloading the right version of Qt5. The text didn`t match quite what I saw in the installer. When I get FGFS running here, I will try to impove by adding some explaining pictures. That would have helped me a lot.

It looks like for me it does: https://abload.de/img/fgbuild_filestructureopk15.jpg
But I don´t get it, where I have to select the 'fgdata'? Everytime I try to launch via launch.bat or fgfs.exe, or via VisualStudio I get following image: https://abload.de/img/flightgear.buildmbknm.jpg
Thanks

Thanks, that would be appreciated!
Ah, ok, I thought you meant a window like this: https://i.imgur.com/FoJ5rPZ.png But as its looking for /data/ maybe try renaming fgdata to data... but for me, it looks for fgdata, that's why I set it to that :/

It seems Qt5 is the reason for- after forcing it to the FGData location, fianlly FlightGear started but wihout launcher. The console said that it couldn´t finde the Qt launcher, because Qt didn´t compiled.
So I´ll try again with Qt5...
