Note
----

This repo is adapted from the official JSBSim repo on sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsbsim/)

One of the main reasons for branching is to allow for an import library to be generated in order to link with the DLL created by JSBSim.

In order to keep up to date with changes made to JSBSim, git is used to pull from a remote with url: git://git.code.sf.net/p/jsbsim/code

These changes, along with our own, can then be pushed up into a remote with url: https://github.com/DolanP/jsbsim-ats.git

1) Introduction
---------------

JSBSim is a multi-platform, general purpose object-oriented Flight
Dynamics Model (FDM) written in C++. Jon Berndt and Tony Peden began
about mid-1998 writing JSBSim. As of this writing it is the default
FDM for FlightGear. JSBSim can also be run in a standalone batch mode
for testing and study. More information on JSBSim can be found at the
JSBSim home page here:

http://www.jsbsim.org


2) Building with autoconf/automake
----------------------------------

Unpack the distribution tarball (if needed - CVS users will have
downloaded the code directly) using your preferred method, and change
to the working directory. For example :

$ tar xvfz JSBSim-0.1.2.tar.gz
$ cd JSBSim-0.1.2

NOTE for CVS users: If you are using JSBSim from a CVS checkout, or
snapshot, you will need to create the initial configure script. The
commands to do this have been included in the 'autogen.sh' script, so
just :

$ ./autogen.sh [--no-configure]

If you wish to customise your version of JSBSim, use the following to
determine any build-time options you may be interested in.

$ ./configure --help

Then :

$ ./configure

This will check your system platform, compiler and other local
configuration variables needed to build JSBSim, and generates the
necessary Makefiles. Next :

$ make

Will compile the various classes, and build the JSBSim application.


3) Building JSBSim libraries
----------------------------

By default, the JSBSim libraries are not built. To build and install
the libraries, use:

$ ./autogen --enable-libraries [--disable-static] [--enable-shared]

The configure options can be used to select what libraries to build.

$ make install

Unless specified otherwise (with --prefix configure option), this will
install JSBSim libraries into '/usr/local/lib' and JSBSim headers
into '/usr/local/include/JSBSim'.
