10 The following packages should be installed before FlightGear (or SimGear
11 or PLib) can be compiled on Irix:
13 Irix development headers and libraries
14 (from the Irix 6.5 development CD's)
15 --------------------------------------
17 compiler_dev.sw.base irix_dev.sw.headers
18 compiler_dev.sw.ld dev.sw.lib
22 gl_dev.sw.gldev dmedia_dev.sw.base
25 MipsPro C and C++ Compiler environment
26 ---------------------------------------
28 c++_dev.hdr.lib c_dev.sw.c
29 c++_dev.sw.c++ c_fe.sw.c
35 ---------------------------------------
37 GLUT: http://freeware.sgi.com
38 ZLIB: http://freeware.sgi.com
41 FlightGear Flight Simulator Software
42 ---------------------------------------
44 FlightGear: http://www.flightgear.org
45 SimGear: http://www.simgear.org
46 Plib: http://plib.sourceforge.net
47 MetaKit: http://www.equi4.com/metakit/
51 2. Compiling and Installation
53 To create a set of binaries it is important to follow these steps. This
54 will build a statically linked executable /opt/bin/fgfs
56 1. Install GLUT and Zlib
57 2. Extract, configure and install MetaKit, Plib, SimGear and FlightGear
59 The irix-hack.sh script fixes some compiler specific problems which were
60 introduced after the adoption of the C++ Standard Template Library.
62 The "automake -a -i" command is required because automake with automatic
63 dependency building breaks the native Irix compilers.
68 Before the FlightGear program could be run it is important to install the
69 FlightGear base package (the default is to extract the base package into
72 This package can be found at: http://www.flightgear.org
74 When all is set and done, just run: /opt/bin/fgfs
75 To see the command line options, type: /opt/bin/fgfs -h
