[Plib-devel] Possible bug in ul.cxx

[William L. R. <wil...@ca...>]

I noticed that while using FlightGear under Cygwin my model was no longer 
being loaded.  The error message was something like : "WARNING: ssgLoadAC: 
Failed to read /images/fgfsbase//images/fgfsbase/Models/Geometry/n757.ac for 
reading" (Note the base of the path is in there twice) and it finally led me 
to src/util/ul.cxx and the following change around line number 438...

//#if defined(WIN32)   <----- commented out
#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)   <----- added by me 
#define SLASH '\\'
#else
#define SLASH '/'
#endif

On my machine this now loads the model correctly.  As a note, it DID fall 
back to the default glider model when it failed to load the command line 
specified model, but I like the look of the Cessna better.  :)  It took me 
about 30 minutes to track this down, I'm not much of a programmer (yet).

Regards,
Wm
