Re: [Flightgear-devel] Compiling FGSD on Ubuntu Karmic / GCC 4.4...

[Mattt <ma...@ma...>]

  Yup - will publish diffs as soon as I can get around to it (should be 
in the next day or two).

  Alternatively, I can up the bzip file I made of the build folders 
(modified source and compiled binaries - all self contained (including 
separate simgear and osg, etc, to my fg build area) to my web server, 
but it's about 115mb. Not many of you should have much trouble with 
that, but note that we're on a NextG link here (Telstra's version of 3G) 
so it will take a while to upload...

  Given the sources are all available, diff files might be the better 
way (despite that I'll need to pull the CVS / SVN stuff again - didn't 
back them up before modification...). Whatever is more helpful to you 
guys :-)

  Oh - my build is for 32 bit. I'm not sure what pitfalls there may be 
for 64. Also, the shapelib problem didn't hit me, but I'm certain that's 
from one of the support packages (osg or simgear, likely), so it's 
probably a build area problem. The invalid conversion errors certainly 
did, though, and are addressed in my modified sources :-)
