New people will start with a blank fresh brand new tree, go in there, DL your makefg and run it. ..I tried that with Francesco Brisa's download_and_compile.sh which failed for me, and then I tried your script in that same tree with "sh ./makefg -h" and found it gets most things right: makefg: Some _VERY_ important 'prefix' items for 'configure'. makefg: *** CHECK THEM CAREFULLY! *** and the FG data path. makefg: PLIB: /usr - version [1.8.5] SKIP ..makefg finds and uses system plib ok, but ignores system OSG, I have: arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ dpkg -l |grep libplib |fmt -tu ii libplib-dev 1.8.5-6 amd64 Portability Libraries: Development package ii libplib1 1.8.5-6 amd64 Portability Libraries: Run-time package arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ dpkg -l |grep openscenegraph |fmt -tu ii libopenscenegraph-dev 3.0.1-4 amd64 3D scene graph, development files ii libopenscenegraph80 3.0.1-4 amd64 3D scene graph, shared libs ii openscenegraph 3.0.1-4 amd64 3D scene graph, utilities and examples (binaries) ii openscenegraph-doc 3.0.1-4 all 3D scene graph, documentation ii openscenegraph-examples 3.0.1-4 all 3D scene graph, examples (sources) ii openscenegraph-plugin-citygml-shared 0.14+svn128-1+3p0p1 amd64 libcitygml OpenSceneGraph plugin (shared version) arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ makefg: OSG: /home/arnt/FG-git/install/OSG301 - *NEW INSTALLATION* to OSG301 ... makefg: BOOST: /usr - version [1.49.00] OK makefg: SG: /home/arnt/FG-git/install/simgear - version [2.11.0] ... makefg: FG: /home/arnt/FG-git/install/flightgear - *NEW INSTALLATION* to flightgear Francesco's download_and_compile.sh uses /home/arnt/FG-git/fgfs makefg: FGRUN: /home/arnt/FG-git/install/fgrun - *NEW INSTALLATION* to fgrun/fgrun makefg: TG: /home/arnt SKIP makefg: ATLAS: /home/arnt/FG-git/install/Atlas SKIP makefg: FGDATA: /home/arnt/FG-git/fgdata - version [2.11.0] SKIP > And Curt, I hope you can 'publish' your 'scripts' > somewhere, to help others like me generate a Windows > setup install exe... ..hear, hear. ;o) One way this could be done, is set up an .exe that installs a build script, or some FG-builder program. Being able to make newbie Windroids "Simply click the button", would make Wintendo support _much_ easier. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
