CygWin/gcc-3.4.4 updates.
I replaced my cygwin compiler with 3.4.4, did a make clean of plib, simgear,
and flightgear, then did a make install of all three. With the included changes,
everything builds fine, and runs fine.
I stumbled across two memory errors with two wrong const references to
std::string.
As I fixed that, I also moved aircraft_dir which is only used from UIUC into
UIUC. With that uiuc_aircraftdir.h is empty and can be removed.
I have attached some revisions for the UIUCModel and some LaRCsim.
The only thing you should need to check is LaRCsim.cxx. The file
I attached is a revised version of 1.5 and the latest is 1.7. Also,
uiuc_getwind.c and uiuc_getwind.h are no longer in the LaRCsim
directory. They have been moved over to UIUCModel.
Some more cmall changes to the SimGear header files and removed the
SG_HAVE_NATIVE_SGI_COMPILERS dependancies from FlightGear.
I've added a seperate JSBSim patch for the JSBSim source tree.
A bug lurked into our uiuc code.
There are two changes:
[1] Comment out the chunk of code as shown (compare w/ the old)
[2] Put back in the function call, and in that code change AlphaTail to Alpha.
speedups to uiuc_menu.cpp.
(Note these were originally submitted before the cutoff date for new
features, but something was corrupted in the transfer so I granted a bit
of leeway in the schedule.)
- Removed some old cruft.
- Removed some support for older versions of automake which technically was
correct, but caused the newer automakes to squawk warnings during an
initial sanity check (which isn't done very intelligently.)
NOTE: this fix is technically not correct for older version of automake.
These older version use the variable "INCLUDES" internally and could have
them already set to an important value. That is why we were appending
our values to them. However, newer versions of automake don't set this
value themselves so it is an error to append to a non-existant variable.
We seem to "get away" with overwriting the value on older versions of
automake, but if you have problems, consider upgrading to at least
automake-1.5.

ability to run a nonlinear model with flaps. The files ls_model.c and
uiuc_aero.c were changed since we had some functions with the same
name. The name changes doesn't affect the code, it just makes it a
little easier to read. There are changes in LaRCsim.cxx so UIUC
models have engine sound. Could you send me an email when you receive
this and/or when the changes make it to the CVS? Thanks.
Also I noticed you have some outdated files that are no longer used in
the UIUCModel directory. They are uiuc_initializemaps1.cpp,
uiuc_initializemaps2.cpp, uiuc_initializemaps3.cpp, and
uiuc_initializemaps4.cpp

different locations, and hitched it into FGGlobals. FGEnvironmentMgr
has taken over as the subsystem, while FGEnvironment is simple the
information that it returns. I've removed current_environment
completely -- everything now uses properties or goes through
FGGlobals. FGGlobals itself has a couple of useful methods:
const FGEnvironment * get_environment ();
const FGEnvironment * get_environment (double lat, double lon, double alt);
The first one returns the environment data for the plane's current
position, while the second returns the environment data for any
arbitrary location. Currently, they both return the same information,
but that will change soon.
properties have been renamed from wind-(north|east|down)-fps to
wind-from-(north|east|down)-fps, and the FDMs modified appropriately.
No other changes should be visible unless FG_OLD_WEATHER is defined.
- automake-1.4 sets default values for INCLUDES which we can't
overwrite.
- automake-1.5 renames this to DEFAULT_INCLUDES and leaves INCLUDES
open for the developer to use.
Thus for automake-1.4 we are forced to 'append' to INCLUDES and in
automake-1.5 we can just set the value to whatever we like.
Unfortunately, the behaviors of the two versions are mutually
incompatible.
The solution I am committing now works for both versions but
automake-1.5 generates a lot of spurious warning messages that are
annoying, but not fatal.
Here's an unusual patch for FlightGear -- I've created .cvsignore
files for every source directory, to make CVS output more informative.
This is especially nice when using cvs-examine from (X)Emacs to look
for changes.
