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
in PKGBUILD it should be
pkgrel=2
@iggyvolz I replaced it. Thanks for the hint.
Depends on openscenegraph34 - moved to openscenegraph
In my case, I had to adjust the CMakeLists.txt for the fgviewer utility by adding
GL
into the target_link_libraries.
(inserted one line after https://github.com/FlightGear/flightgear/blob/22de9d30b518646894ac190cc6b04371daa6d5c2/utils/fgviewer/CMakeLists.txt#L49
Otherwise, fgviewer would not link.
I'll try to inform the flighgear team on github about this issue as well.

Aborting...
Thanks for the update, FredBezies! Unfortunately I am stuck with building simgear. Using your update there, it apparently fails to create a "config.h" which is required in the udns module. I'll investigate.
What's the reason for FG to degrade from a [community] package to a poorly maintained AUR one anyway? (No offense to the current maintainers) :)

Unfortnately, I get this weird error regarding the installation of simgear:
"-- Found Boost: /usr/lib64/cmake/Boost-1.71.0/BoostConfig.cmake (found version "1.71.0")
CMake Error at CMakeModules/BoostTestTargets.cmake:55 (message):
NOTE: boost::test-based targets and tests cannot be added: boost >= 1.34.0
required but not found. (found: '1.71.0' want >=103400) You may disable
ENABLE_TESTS to continue without the tests.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Any ideas how to resolve this? thanks a lot!
UPDATE: I was able to install Simgear with boost 1.71 by passing the option -ENABLE_TESTS=FALSE to the cmake command.
