[Plib-users] flightgear and make

[Dave T J. <mu...@in...>]

Hi I'm running RH 6.2 and have nearly succeeded in compiling Flightgear
0.6.2.
make fails with this message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [fgfs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/mullet/FlightGear-0.6.2/Simulator/Main'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mullet/FlightGear-0.6.2/Simulator'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Obviously what I know about ld would not get me into the skies so could
someone please help out?
Pretty please??
Thanks
Dave
PS I'm a list newbie so be gentle.

0.6.2 !?!?

I'd say go to the FlightGear web site and download the most recent version.
There is a pretty good manual there that will give you a step by step
procedure.

Ok I'm stupid right? ;-)
I just assumed it was the most recent version

THe symptoms you had were that the version of FlightGear you
have is trying to build against a very old version of PLIB.

Versions of PLIB numbered 1.0.xx are appropriate for that old
copy of flightgear - but in PLIB 1.1.xx and later we renamed
the libraries from '-lsl' to '-lplibsl' and '-lssg' to '-lplibssg'
and so on.

You should probably upgrade FlightGear - although downgrading
PLIB to 1.0.20 would also work.

All right I have flightgear 0.7.2 and 0.7.4* and simgear0.08 and 0.09

Please advise

I believe your PLib problems are solved.

Your FlightGear problem is that your linker is picking up 
the wrong library somewhere.

You want to do a 

rm config.cache in both FG_ROOT and SIMGEAR_ROOT
and run

make uninstall
rm config.cache
aclocal
automake -a 
autoconf
./configure
make

in both SIMGEAR_ROOT and FG_ROOT in that order.

Please continue this discussion on one of the FlightGear Lists.

Cheers

Norman

Thanks to all for the assistance
Apologies for polluting your list but it's hard not to use it when the
advice is quick and correct ;-)

It's a known issue that mat3.h was left out in SimGear-0.0.8. You have
to use SimGear-0.0.3 (IIRC) for FlightGear-0.7.2.

But the best solution is to stick to FlightGear-0.7.4 and SimGear-0.0.9.
This combination is known to work.
