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
49 2. Compiling and Installation
52 NOTE: Make sure automake version 1.8.1 or later is installed !!!
54 To create a set of binaries it is important to follow these steps. This
55 will build a statically linked executable /opt/bin/fgfs
57 1. Install GLUT and Zlib
58 2. Configure and install plib
59 3. After extracting SimGear and FlightGear make sure to run autogen.sh first.
60 This will fix a linker problem for MipsPro compilers.
61 4. Configure and install SimGear and then FlightGear
66 Before the FlightGear program could be run it is important to install the
67 FlightGear base package (the default is to extract the base package into
70 This package can be found at: http://www.flightgear.org
72 When all is set and done, just run: /opt/bin/fgfs
73 To see the command line options, type: /opt/bin/fgfs -h
