[Flightgear-devel] Custom Scenery for EAA Oshkosh

2007-07-16 Thread Ralf Gerlich
Hi all, I know the AirVenture is less than a week ahead and so I'm probably a bit late, but I have prepared new landcover data for the region around Oshkosh and Lake Winnebago. I hope that Martin will have the TIGER data ready on time so I can integrate that as well, but for now we have only a

[Flightgear-devel] OSX Build patch

For FG/OSG, the included patch allows flightgear to link against OSG (Subversion) when installed in the traditional UNIX way in /usr/local (vs the Mac Framework way, which is another story). I'm not sure why we'd be linking to osgGA and osgText while linux users aren't, or perhaps it's a subtle
