[Opengc-devel] OpenGC for Linux

[Damion S. <dam...@ho...>]

Hi,

Just a quick note to say that the CVS of OpenGC now builds successfully 
under Linux! X-Plane is the first (and currently only) sim to be supported 
under both Windows and Linux, but I hope to convert Flightgear over in the 
not too distant future.

A few notes/warnings:

1) I'm currently in the process of stabilizing the build across Windows and 
Linux, so the CVS might not build correctly under Windows for the next 24 
hours. If possible, avoid updating from the CVS until I send a message 
verifying that everything works.

2) The changes to use FLTK rather than GLUT were quite minor - FLTK has a 
"Glut emulation mode" which compiles the existing code directly by changing 
the header to <FL/glut.H> from <GL/glut.h>.

_However_, you will need FLTK 1.1 to build OpenGC now. I will be providing 
more details on this once the build is verified on both platforms. One nice 
side effect of switching to FLTK is that it removes an external library 
requirement...

Also, I have not had any negative comments about removing the out-of-date 
makefiles, so this will happen sometime in the next few days as well.

Cheers,
-Damion-
