Use FlightGear.sln to compile fgfs executable for Win32 or x64 architectures with Visual Studio 2008.
|
|
Previous versions of Visual Studio are not officially supported anymore.
|
|
|
|
Precompiled librairies and headers for compiling x64 executables with VS2008 :

The VS2008 / v9.0 project files assume the directory layout below :
|

Win32 build :

3rdParty, boost_1_44_0 and install/msvc90 are included in the Win32 3rdParty archive.
|

x64 build :

Typical setup should decompose into the following steps :
|
|
|
|
1. Install Visual Studio 2008 Express (http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/express/aa975050.aspx)
|
|
2. Install msysGit (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/)
|
|
3. Create a new directory, say D:\FGFSDevel (or anything else)
|
|
4. Unzip precompiled Win32 3rd party archive in it
|
|
5. Open a Git Bash session and cd to the new directory ( cd /d/FGFSDevel )
|
|
6. Get SimGear sources from Gitorious : git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/simgear.git SimGear
|
|
7. Get FlightGear source from Gitorious : git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear.git FlightGear
|
|
8. Go to D:\FGFSDevel\FlightGear\projects\VC90 and double-click on FlightGear.sln
|
|
9. Select the "Release" configuration
|
|
10. Open file D:\FGFSDevel\SimGear\simgear\version.h.in and change @VERSION@ into "2.0.0" or any current version
|
|
11. Save file as version.h in the same directory
|
|
12. Start build (usually F7)
|
|
13. Get the data from Gitorious too : git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git fgdata
|
|
14. Wait...
|
|
15. Add <any_directory_on_any_drive>/install/msvc90/OpenSceneGraph/bin and <any_directory_on_any_drive>/3rdParty/bin to your PATH environment variable
|
|
16. Enjoy - programs are in D:\FGFSDevel\FlightGear\projects\VC90\Win32\Release
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to compile a Debug version. This is only useful when hacking the code because
|
|
a Debug version is way slower than the Release one.
|
|
|
|
The 64bit build is only available to people having the Professional edition of Visual Studio 2008. In that case, 15. above should be :
|
|
15. Add <any_directory_on_any_drive>/install/msvc90-64/OpenSceneGraph/bin and <any_directory_on_any_drive>/3rdParty.x64/bin to your PATH environment variable
|
|
|
|
When the manual build works, it is possible to start it from the command line. This is useful
|
|
when setting up a build server or automating the process of retrieving the code and building
|
|
it in a scheduled task. To do that :
|
|
|
|
1. open a command line window
|
|
2. execute "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
|
|
or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat" in a
|
|
64bit environment (Vista 64-bit or Windows7 64-bit)
|
|
You should see : "Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools."
|
|
printed in the console
|
|
( To start 64-bit build, the right environment is set with :
|
|
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
|
|
)
|
|
3. cd to the FlightGear project directory :
|
|
D:
|
|
cd \FGFSDevel\FlightGear\projects\VC90 (for example)
|
|
4. start the build with the command line below :
|
|
msbuild FlightGear.sln /p:Configuration=Release /m
|
|
or
|
|
msbuild FlightGear.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /m
|
|
|
|
That's all...
|
|
|
|
Note: you may experience the error below running the msbuild command :
|
|
FlightGear\projects\VC90\FlightGear.sln : error MSB4018: The "ResolveVCProjectOutput" task failed unexpectedly.
|
|
...(lots of additionnal messages)
|
|
|
|
In that case, remove the /m switch from the command line.
