@jhogan: Problem solved by updating and installing simgear prior to building flightgear.

(Installing simgear requires that flightgear is uninstalled before, because the older flightgear needs simgear in a lower version)

Thanks for you help!

@jhogan: Yes I did. Well I built the package. I cannot install it, since it requires flightgear. Do I need to force install it?

@topas-rec: Have you updated the simgear package before trying to build flightgear?

My compilation fails with

In file included from /my/path/to/flightgear/src/flightgear-2024.1.3/src/Input/FGEventInput.hxx:37,
                 from /my/path/to/flightgear/src/flightgear-2024.1.3/src/Input/FGEventInput.cxx:15:
/my/path/to/flightgear/src/flightgear-2024.1.3/src/Input/FGEventInput_private.hxx:58:14: error: ‘UInt8Vector’ in namespace ‘simgear’ does not name a type
   58 |     simgear::UInt8Vector reportBytes(const std::string& moduleName) const;
      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~

Can someone explain me why no one else has those problems?

Since this package does not install fgdata anymore by default, I think it would make sense if the .desktop file would not specify the --fg-root parameter anymore. This would allow the built-in automatic data download functionality of flightgear to work properly.

With the --fg-root parameter configured to a non-existent location (/usr/share/flightgear/data) as it is the case currently, it will re-trigger the download of the full 1.8GB data package for me on every start. Starting it through the command line without the --fg-root parameter will discover the previously automatically downloaded data.

I also cannot run the launcher without installing qt5-quickcontrols2.

Please add this to the (optional) dependencies.

In v2024.1.2-1 fgfs --launcher complains about missing "quickcontrols2". Installing qt5-quickcontrols2 from the extra repository seems to fix that.

namcap complains about missing dependencies qt5-base and qt5-declarative: 

flightgear E: Dependency qt5-declarative detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libQt5Quick.so.5', 'usr/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5'] needed in files ['usr/bin/fgfs'])
flightgear E: Dependency qt5-base detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5', 'usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5', 'usr/lib/libQt5Network.so.5', 'usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5'] needed in files ['usr/bin/fgfs'])

Regards!

@alesar1 It compiles just fine with boost. Is there a reason why boost174 should be used instead?

Please replace boost with boost174 in makedepends.
