1. Requirements
The following packages should be installed before FlightGear (or SimGear
or PLib) can be compiled on Irix:
- Irix development headers and libraries

-2. Compiling and Installation
-
-To create a set of binaries it is important to follow these steps. This
-will build a statically linked executable /opt/bin/fgfs
-
- 1. Extract, and install GLUT, following the build guidelines provided
- by the author of GLUT.
-
- 2. Extract, configure and install Plib:
- automake -a -i
- CXXFLAGS="-O2 -G0 -use_readonly_const -rdata_shared -I/opt/include" \
- CFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS="-L/opt/lib32" \
- ./configure --prefix=/opt --libdir=/opt/lib32
- make; make install
-
- 3. Extract, configure and install SimGear:
- automake -a -i
- CXXFLAGS="-O2 -G0 -use_readonly_const -rdata_shared -I/opt/include \
- -woff 1001,1012,1014,1116,1172,1174,1401,1460,1551,1552,1681" \
- CFLAGS="-Xcpluscomm "$CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS="-L/opt/lib32 -L../zlib" \
- ./configure --prefix=/opt --libdir=/opt/lib32 --with-logging
- sh ../FlightGear-0.x.x/irix-hack.sh
- make; make install
-
- 4. Extract, configure and install FlightGear:
- automake -a -i
- CXXFLAGS="-O2 -G0 -use_readonly_const -rdata_shared -I/opt/include \
- -woff 1001,1012,1014,1116,1172,1174,1401,1460,1551,1552,1681" \
- CFLAGS="-Xcpluscomm "$CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS="-L/opt/lib32" \
- CPPFLAGS="-woff 1014" \
- ./configure --prefix=/opt --with-simgear=/opt --without-loging
- sh ./irix-hack.sh
- make; make install
+2. Compiling and Installation
-The irix-hack.sh script fixes some compiler specific problems which were
-introduced after the adoption of the C++ Standard Template Library.
-Not running this script will result in an error message like this:
- CC ERROR: -ar option requires archive name to be specified with -o option
-If this happens, just run the irix-hack script and continue with make.
+NOTE: Make sure automake version 1.8.1 or later is installed !!!
+To create a set of binaries it is important to follow these steps. This
+will build a statically linked executable /opt/bin/fgfs
-The "automake -a -i" command is required because automake with automatic
-dependency building breaks the native Irix compilers.
+ 1. Install GLUT and Zlib
+ 2. Configure and install plib
+ 3. After extracting SimGear and FlightGear make sure to run autogen.sh first.
+ This will fix a linker problem for MipsPro compilers.
+ 4. Configure and install SimGear and then FlightGear
3. Running
Before the FlightGear program could be run it is important to install the
FlightGear base package (the default is to extract the base package into
-/opt/bin/lib).
+/opt/lib32).
This package can be found at: http://www.flightgear.org
-When all is set and done, just run /opt/bin/runfgfs
-To see the command line options, run /opt/bin/runfgfs --help

+When all is set and done, just run: /opt/bin/fgfs
+To see the command line options, type: /opt/bin/fgfs -h
