configure and compile out-of-the-box on a MinGW target:
Use -lSDL instead of -lglut32 on windows builds when --enable-sdl
is set.
Link against alut.dll in addition to openal32.dll.
Replace BSD bcopy() with ANSI C memmove() in a few places. This is
simpler than trying to abstract it out as a platform dependency in a
header file; bcopy() has never been standard.
The ENABLE_THREADS handling has changed to be set to 0 when threads
are not in use. This breaks expressions like #ifdef ENABLE_THREADS.
Replace with a slightly more complicated expression. It might have
been better to fix the configure.ac script, but I didn't know how and
this whole setting is likely to go away soon anyway.
The MinGW C runtime actually does include snprintf, so only MSVC
builds (and not all WIN32 ones) need _snprintf in JSBSim/FGState.cpp
Building on a platform with no glut at all exposed some spots where
plib/pu.h was being included without a toolkit setting (it defaults to
glut). Include fg_os.hxx first.
And when still using glut, glut.h has a bizarre dependency on a
_WCHAR_T_DEFINED symbol. It it's not defined, it tries to redefine
(!!) wchar_t to disasterous effect.

1) Introduction
---------------
JSBSim is a multi-platform, general purpose object-oriented Flight
Dynamics Model (FDM) written in C++. Jon Berndt and Tony Peden began
about mid-1998 writing JSBSim. As of this writing it is the default
FDM for FlightGear. JSBSim can also be run in a standalone batch mode
for testing and study. More information on JSBSim can be found at the
JSBSim home page here:
http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net
The standalone version of JSBSim can be easily built from the command
line of a unix or unix-like (CygWin/Linux/Unix/IRIX, etc.) system like
this:
make -fMakefile.solo
If you are on an IRIX machine you can use the Makefile.irix makefile.
Directions are also provided below for using traditional auto* utilities
also provided with JSBSim.
2) Building with autoconf/automake
----------------------------------
Unpack the distribution tarball (if needed - CVS users will have
downloaded the code directly) using your preferred method, and change
to the working directory. For example :
$ tar xvfz JSBSim-0.1.2.tar.gz
$ cd JSBSim-0.1.2
NOTE for CVS users: If you are using JSBSim from a CVS checkout, or
snapshot, you will need to create the initial configure script. The
commands to do this have been included in the 'autogen.sh' script, so
just :
$ ./autogen.sh
If you wish to customise your version of JSBSim, use the following to
determine any build-time options you may be interested in.
$ ./configure --help
Then :
$ ./configure
This will check your system platform, compiler and other local
configuration variables needed to build JSBSim, and generates the
necessary Makefiles. Next :
$ make
Will compile the various classes, and link the library. Finally :
$ make install
Unless specified otherwise (with --prefix configure option), this will
install 'JSBSim.a' into '/usr/local/lib'.
