If you use a DEVELOPMENT VERSION you must launch this command before configure : WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs

After that,

To build under Linux, follow these steps:

./configure
make
make install

if you have an exotic kde installation (like me on gentoo tape ./configure --prefix=Path/to/KDE/Directory like /usr/kde/3.4/ for example.

The only libs you need to do that is qt and kde libs. See INSTALL file for more details.

What is it?
This program is a GUI frontend for lauching FlightGear. I made it to be as open as possible and I try to puts the most common options but if you see a important missing, please send me an email.

Why KFreeFlight ?
Because all program I find doesn't have the common options I use. (NMEA for example) or can't be set up for using with an "exotic" GNU/Linux Distribution (like GENTOO or LFS) or a FlightGear source-based installation. Otherwise to have fun in programming.

---

WARNING : the options you enter are not verify by the program and can render FlightGear unstable with bad options (ex caracter in place of number, etc...)

******************************************************************************

Knows bugs
1 -Some aircrafts haven't pixmap because they're in a directory witch a different

name (ex seafireIII in the spitfire directory)

2 -When call reload config, sometimes, spaces appears behind the value in the

QLineEdit.
QString::stripWhiteSpace() seem solve the problem. Contact me if it appears again.

3 -Some crash after the splash screen.

Relaunch the application
