tested so far.
You can attempt the following: Use these basic steps to build and install Aerofoil:
- Install CMake (https://cmake.org/download/) - Ensure dependencies are installed - all of these are likely available from
- Install SDL 2.0.12 or higher, or build it from the included source your distribution's package manager:
- Run "cmake ." in the Aerofoil source directory - CMake 3.10 or later (https://cmake.org/download/)
- Run "make install" to build the AerofoilX program - SDL 2.0.12 or later (https://libsdl.org)
- Unzip the the Windows build - FreeType 2.10.1 or later (https://freetype.org/download.html)
- Copy the "Packaged" and "Resources" directories from the Windows build into - Change directory to the Aerofoil source root (the directory containing this file)
the "lib" folder above the "bin" folder that the AerofoilX program installed - Run "cmake -B build" to create a CMake build tree under "build"
to. For example, if it installed to /usr/local/bin/, then the data files - Run "cmake --build build" to build the AerofoilX program and its resources
should go in /usr/local/lib/aerofoil/ - Run "cmake --install build" to install everything under /usr/local
- Run AerofoilX - You can now run Aerofoil with the command "AerofoilX"
You can also build just the AerofoilX executable and use the prebuilt resources
from the Windows release:
- Follow the steps above, ignoring the FreeType dependency and stopping after
running "cmake -B build"
- Run "cmake --build build --target Executable" to build only the executable
- Run "cmake --install build --component Executable" to install AerofoilX in
/usr/local/bin
- Download the Windows build from
https://github.com/elasota/Aerofoil/releases/latest and unzip it
- Create the directory /usr/local/lib/aerofoil and copy the "Packaged"
directory from the Windows build into it
To install under a prefix other than /usr/local add
"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix>" to "cmake -B build"
Tools for converting Glider PRO houses are installed under
/usr/local/lib/aerofoil/tools, see Documentation/userhouses.txt for
instructions on how to use them.
The main AerofoilX executable, its required resources and the conversion tools
can be built and installed individually via these build targets and install
components:
- Executable
- Resources
- Tools
For instance, you can use
cmake --build build --target Executable Resources
to build only Aerofoil and its resources, and
cmake --install build --component Executable
cmake --install build --component Resources
to install them.
