Hey guys, I am running into a problem. I would like to use this package here (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-gym-jsbsim-git/#news). It requires python-jsbsim and optional requires flightgear for visualization. However, when I try to install flightgear, I receive the following error (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-gym-jsbsim-git/#comment-725336):

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
flightgear: /usr/bin/JSBSim exists in filesystem (owned by python-jsbsim-git)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

It seems like flightgear is providing its own jsbsim exe? Is there any way to fix this?

Glad you found it! In a fresh install of flightgear + deps (simgear not previously installed), worked out of the box for me. I'm using an AUR helper

I found the root cause of the problem, it is in this file from simgear package :

/usr/lib/cmake/SimGear/SimGearTargets.cmake

inside at line 66 the path "/include" was added by simgear 2019.1 during compilation :

INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/include;/include;/usr/include"

removing "/include" path solves my problem :

INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/include;/usr/include"

A workaround is to create a symbolic link "/include", before trying to compile flightgear 2019.1 :

ln -s /usr/include /include

@codebling : check if you have a symbolic link "/include", it can explain why you don't have the cmake errors during compilation of flightgear

Potomac commented on 2020-01-01 16:57 (UTC)

@codebling : it's not normal, you should have also this error during compilation if all your packages are up to date,

How do you compile with makepkg ? In a clean chroot or in an normal environment ?

Which version of simgear do you have ?

codebling commented on 2020-01-01 01:36 (UTC)

@Potomac, works for me and package hasn't changed

This package doesn't build, I have errors related to cmake :

-- Configuring done CMake Error in src/GUI/CMakeLists.txt: Imported target "SimGearCore" includes non-existent path

"/include"

in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES. Possible reasons include:

  • The path was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  • An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  • The installation package was faulty and references files it does not provide.

I did install it. I apologize for not including that earlier. I can try it again tomorrow.

It sounds like you might need to install flightgear-data?

Has anyone gotten this to work? I tried to install via AUR and then compiling from the source, and when I run fgfs, it takes me to the cessna 172p and it's out in the middle of the water.

I read as much as I could from flightgear forums and wikis, and arch wiki
