FG-Roam - Standalone Flightgear Terrain Viewer

This is mainly used a the "synthetic vision" part of SoFIS an open-source EFIS.

Dependencies

This project depends on:

• OpenGL 2.1 / GLES 2
• Glib (Only GArray and GPtrArray are really used/needed)
• SDL2
• SDL2_Image
• libcurl

Supported Platforms

As part of Sofis, this terrain viewer as been tested on x86 and Raspberry Pi B (the very first one). It should also work one the RPi 0 which has the same hardware as the B+ with more RAM and a faster processor.

When building on the Pi, you might need to edit the Makefile to link against libbrcmGLES.

Building

There is currently no sophisticated build system that checks and detects everything as needed. There is one simple Makefile that you can edit and use to set build parameters if you need to.
