How to run fgmapping

Requirements:

• ruby of course. Min version 1.8.6 up to 1.9.2

• either:qtruby4, minimum version 4.4

see: rubyforge.org/projects/korundum debian/ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libqt4-ruby

or: qtbindings, min version 4.6.3.1

sudo gem install qtbindings

Run: You basically have 2 options:

1) (you already have ruby and qtruby installed)

• unpack the ‘fgmap.tar.gz’ into any directory

• cd into this directory

• on shell type: ruby waypoint.rb

2) (you already have ruby and rubygems installed)

• type: sudo gem install fgmapping

• make sure /var/lib/gems/1.*/bin is in your standard path ($PATH)

• execute ‘fgmapping’

In any case you need to launch Flightgear like this:

• run Flightgear with additional command line option: –telnet=2948

Development: Download git repository:

• git clone git://rubyforge.org/fgmap.git

Remarks for development:

• .ui files can be edited with QT designer

• corresponding .rb files are generated by just issuing ‘make’

Enjoy.
