[Flightgear-devel] First time build
A word of thanks and praise among the build problems posted periodically here. I just wanted to report that a first attempt to download and build FlightGear/SimGear/etc. following the instructions in the wiki went along without a hitch. Only (minor) problem was that the required package libungif4 is now part of giflib-tools instead a separate entity. (Ubuntu 10.10, 32bit) Another inconvenience was the time required to download fgdata. (Took more than a day with my low-end DSL connection, all the time crossing fingers for a power-glitch free session.) I am not familiar with git, but surely something can be done to create a smaller data set (with just a few airplanes and airports, for example) that will allow people to get up and running in a shorter time. (Will be glad to take a stab at this after I learn more about the system.) My long term interests are to build a multiple computer/multiple monitor system, (already have an X-Plane based system like that, want to try FlightGear) and to try to use/port/convert Microsoft's FS scenery with FlightGear. (Megascenery in particular) Any pointers to get started will be appreciated Again, thanks for making this project what it is. -- Roberto Waltman -- Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App Earn a Chance To Win $500!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Serial port programming question ...
Curtis Olson wrote: This is a little off topic, but I don't know where else I can find a stronger knowledge pool. :-) I am working on some code that needs to read and write from a serial port and has to write vast quantities of data ... Curtis, I wouldn't use threads, but a whole separated process. Use circular buffers in shared memory to transfer data, and semaphores to coordinate data transfers in/from these buffers. That way your main process only needs to do non-blocking memory to memory transfers. The serial coms process can handle all the quirks of the protocol, create separate Tx and Rx threads if necessary, decide when to drop data, block itself when needed etc. One of the advantages of using a separate process vs threads in the main application is fault isolation. (1) The unavoidable crashes during development may bring down only this process, allowing you to continue by restarting only this part and not the whole application. The same applies if you want to try a different version. Stop the subprocess, start a new one. Hope this helps, Roberto Waltman. (1) I worked for a company whose coding standards required a manager's waiver to use threads, because of the difficulties of debugging complex multi-thread applications where every thread can corrupt global data. And the fault isolation. -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
