Building a FlightGear RPM package for openSUSE (Last tested with openSUSE 11.4+12.1) This directory contains the files which, along with the source code tar files, can be used to build an RPM package targeted at an openSUSE Linux system. To build FlightGear from source do the following: 1. obtain flightgear-2.8.0.tar.bz2 (adapt version if necessary) and copy it into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES 2. copy FlightGear.desktop to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES 3. obtain (or build) and install SimGear (exact match with FlightGear's version required). 4. look in the BuildRequires section of FlightGear.spec and check that all the packages referred to are installed (note, some of these packages may be part of openSUSE's "games" repository). 5. run 'rpmbuild -ba FlightGear.spec' and find the RPM build result in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS That's all!
