Re: [Flightgear-devel] FGElev and macOS

[Rhys A. <rhy...@gm...>]

I haven't got a linux instance available to test, however from past
experience it did "just work" and that is the jist I am getting from having
spoken with a few people.

On Windows, I run the following which starts fgelev allowing me to pass
data to it. (In the FG bin dir, equivalent of MacOS dir on mac) `fgelev
--print-solidness --expire 1000000 --fg-scenery
"C:\Users\User\FlightGear\Downloads\TerraSync"`. After running this, fgelev
waits for further instruction.

On mac, I can run the same command adapted to au different fgscenery path,
however fgelev exits due to not finding the .spt file, resulting in the "no
data loaded" message (That file is not visibly present on Windows either,
but it passes the check for that file). I have verified with my Windows
instance that all the environment variables on there are present here,
which they are, so I do not think it is a problem around an undefined env
var that has no error handling.
