Gentoo | An overlay has been created with the ebuild files for librepilot and osgearth, and added to the official gentoo layman repository list. To use this repository, you need to have layman installed and set up. Once you have done that, add the librepilot overlay: layman -a librepilotEmerge the librepilot package, taking note of the required use flag changes (app-misc/librepilot is marked as unstable) emerge -av =app-misc/librepilot-16.09If you previously installed librepilot system wide by running "make install" as root, then before installing with the ebuild, run "make uninstall" as root. Failure to do so will lead to some strange errors as a result of library conflicts. |
Notes about 16.09
Since 16.09 the CDC driver is not installed by default, it is not needed for normal use excepted if VCP (serial) is needed.
Using Windows 10 the CDC driver is not needed anymore.
If you experience GCS crashes at startup or display issues, try installing the Mesa OpenGL driver.
