Well, the PLIB project has been pretty much dead for at least a decade. It's totally obsolete now because most of the OpenGL calls it makes are deprecated. I'm fairly sure FlightGear moved to their own rendering library a dozen years ago. There was never much interest in putting together a build environment for Visual Studio - we used the GNU C++ compiler and GNU-make tools for building (which work just fine under Linux, BSD, Mac OSX and Windows under Cygwin...so I'm not surprised that you found little help on that score. OpenSource tools are driven by the enthusiasm of developers who are working for $0.00 - if nobody comes along who wants to make a Visual Studio solution file - then no solution file gets made. If think you still need PLIB - then you're almost certainly on the wrong track. -- Steve LAURENCE SHAW wrote: > I've posted several places to several forums.
