Optional Libraries:

  • FLTK : GUI
  • SDL : sound, more joystick support
  • PLIB : sound (if SDL sound unavailable)

Hardware Requirements:

  • Minimum CPU: 2 GHz AMD64 (Pentium III and PowerPC G4 are too slow).

Compiling

To build Palomino flight simulator: 

UNIX: cmake . && make
FreeBSD: cd /usr/ports/games/palomino; make install
Windows: cmakesetup . then choose Release in Visual Studio.

Problems compiling:

Palomino's cmake files expect OSG to be installed without any build-type suffix. 

/usr/local/lib/OpenThreads.so    will compile
/usr/local/lib/OpenThreadsd.so   won't compile (has Debug suffix)
