This directory contains the files which, along with
the source code tar files, can be used to build
an RPM package targeted at a Red Hat Linux system.
To build flighgear from source do the following:
0. be root on your system (actually it's possible to
build from source as a non-root user but
I won't go into that now).
1. copy flightgear.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
2. copy flightgear.desktop to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. obtain FlightGear-data-2.8.0.tar.bz2 and flightgear-2.8.0.tar.bz2
and copy them into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
4. obtain and install SimGear (= 2.8.0).
5. look in the BuildRequires section of flightgear.spec
and check that all the packages referred to are
installed.
6. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba flightgear.spec
that's it.
