This document describes how to build SimGear using the supplied workspace and project files. Unpack the SimGear source file into your work directory. This creates a new subdirectory called SimGear-X.Y.Z. Rename this to SimGear. Before we can build SimGear you must unpack and build the third party libraries metakit and zlib. Sources for these are included in the SimGear/src-libs directory. Unpack these into the top level SimGear directory. At this point your directory structure should look something like this: / SimGear/ metakit-x.y.z/ simgear/ src-libs/ zlib-x.y.z/ Now open the SimGear workspace. This workspace file contains projects for building metakit(mklib), SimGear and zlib. Select each project as the active project and build all. Order is unimportant since there are no dependencies between the projects. The workspace and project files are generated by a perl script with extra input from the am2dsp.cfg file.
