This isn't wasted time. Learning to use CVS to synch to open source projects will be a skill you use for the rest of your life (or at least until everyone moves onto subversion or darcs or arch or whatever). Like it or not, limiting yourself to released versions of software kinda makes you a second class citizen in this world. If you want to participate in development discussions and test the bleeding edge features, you need to speak the same language as the rest of the developers. :) I assume you are using cygwin? In which case you want you can run the setup.exe program you find at http://www.cygwin.com, check off the "cvs" box, and let the download/installation finish. Then just follow the instructions on the websites. SimGear and FlightGear are pretty much identical: http://flightgear.org/cvs/anoncvs.html http://simgear.org/cvs.html Basically, for each archive you do a "cvs login", followed by a "cvs co". Then you run an "autogen.sh" script in each to generate the configure script, then run them like you normally do.
