You need to have the GPC library installed on your system to build
|
|
some of the scenery generation tools, otherwise you won't be able to
|
|
create scenery.
|
|
|
|
You can get the library from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/aig/staff/alan/software/
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, because of some of the wording in the GPC licensing
|
|
terms we are unable to include the GPC library with the Flight Gear
|
|
distribution.
|
|
|
|
This library comes as a single source file and header with no build
|
|
directions. So, here are some directions contributed by Riley Rainey
|
|
<riley.rainey@websimulations.com> with additional notes by Curt Olson:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download the GPC library source code from URL:
|
|
|
|
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/aig/staff/alan/software
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack it; the current version seems to be 2.31:
|
|
|
|
$ zcat gpc231.tar.Z | tar xvf -
|
|
|
|
3. ***IMPORTANT STEP*** ***DO NOT SKIP***
|
|
|
|
This is important step if you want to use gpc to generate quality
|
|
scenery!
|
|
|
|
Before building the library, edit the gpc.h file and change
|
|
GPC_EPSILON to something bigger. You may experiment with this
|
|
value, but the following seems to work well for me:
|
|
|
|
#define GPC_EPSILON (0.000001)
|
|
|
|
4. Copy in the Makefile attached to this message:
|
|
|
|
$ cp Makefile ./gpc231
|
|
|
|
5. Check install paths. Edit the Makefile and make sure the install
|
|
paths are satisfactory. Also make sure that all the make commands
|
|
have leading tabs (i.e. that the tabs aren't expanded out into 8
|
|
spaces) otherwise the make will fail.
|
|
|
|
6. Build and install it:
|
|
|
|
$ cd ./gpc231
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ su
|
|
Password:
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
