6 This directory contains the files which, along with
7 the source code tar files, can be used to build
8 an RPM package targeted at a Red Hat Linux system.
10 To build flighgear from source do the following:
12 0. be root on your system (actually it's possible to
13 build from source as a non-root user but
14 I won't go into that now).
16 1. copy flightgear.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
18 2. copy flightgear.desktop to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
20 3. obtain FlightGear-data-2.8.0.tar.bz2 and flightgear-2.8.0.tar.bz2
21 and copy them into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
23 4. obtain and install SimGear (= 2.8.0).
25 5. look in the BuildRequires section of flightgear.spec
26 and check that all the packages referred to are
29 6. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
30 rpmbuild -ba flightgear.spec
