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.48.png to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. copy flightgear.desktop to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
4. obtain fgfs-base-0.9.3.tar.gz and FlightGear-0.9.3.tar.gz
and copy them into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
5. obtain and install SimGear (>= 0.3.4).
6. look in the BuildRequires section of flightgear.spec
and check that all the packages referred to are
installed.
7. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba flightgear.spec
that's it.
