1) Introduction
---------------

JSBSim is a multi-platform, general purpose object-oriented Flight
Dynamics Model (FDM) written in C++. Jon Berndt and Tony Peden began
about mid-1998 writing JSBSim. As of this writing it is the default
FDM for FlightGear. JSBSim can also be run in a standalone batch mode
for testing and study. More information on JSBSim can be found at the
JSBSim home page here:

http://www.jsbsim.org


2) Building with autoconf/automake
----------------------------------

Unpack the distribution tarball (if needed - CVS users will have
downloaded the code directly) using your preferred method, and change
to the working directory. For example :

$ tar xvfz JSBSim-0.1.2.tar.gz
$ cd JSBSim-0.1.2

NOTE for CVS users: If you are using JSBSim from a CVS checkout, or
snapshot, you will need to create the initial configure script. The
commands to do this have been included in the 'autogen.sh' script, so
just :

$ ./autogen.sh [--no-configure]

If you wish to customise your version of JSBSim, use the following to
determine any build-time options you may be interested in.

$ ./configure --help

Then :

$ ./configure

This will check your system platform, compiler and other local
configuration variables needed to build JSBSim, and generates the
necessary Makefiles. Next :

$ make

Will compile the various classes, and build the JSBSim application.


3) Building JSBSim libraries
----------------------------

By default, the JSBSim libraries are not built. To build and install
the libraries, use:

$ ./autogen --enable-libraries [--disable-static] [--enable-shared]

The configure options can be used to select what libraries to build.

$ make install

Unless specified otherwise (with --prefix configure option), this will
install JSBSim libraries into '/usr/local/lib' and JSBSim headers
into '/usr/local/include/JSBSim'.
