[Flightgear-devel] FGPanel on Raspberry Pi

[Gaétan A. <gae...@be...>]

Hi,

I have merged the FGPanel for the Raspberry Pi with the current
FGPanel. The new version of FGPanel doesn't use any more OpenGL 1.0 but
uses only OpenGL 2.0 (OpenGL ES 2.0 in the case of the Raspberry Pi).
This remove almost all specific code for the Raspberry Pi (OpenGL ES
2.0 is a subset of OpenGL 2.0). For this reason, almost all the code of
FGPanel has been rewritten!

I have also to remove the dependency to PLib (because PLib uses OpenGL
1.0). This means that, at least for FGPanel, we don't need any more the
PLib fonts (*.txf). The FGPanel uses now normal TTF fonts. This may
require some updates of the FGPanel configuration files.

The code has been tested on Debian 8 and on the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian)
with FlightGear 2016.3.1. I can't test on Windows or Mac because I
don't have access to these OSes.

The new source code is available at:
http://www.iskra.talktalk.net/fgpanel.tar.bz2

How can this code be integrated into FLightGear?

Thanks,
