Error compiling PX4 sitl (JSBsim)

PX4 Autopilot

Yes, writing /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS/fgfs in the terminal launches flightgear with a Cessna 172P (it’s the default aircraft in the simulator settings).

I’ve used the same path also for flightgear sitl and there it works correctly (I used this command FG_BINARY="/Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS/fgfs" make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_rascal), in this case not.

In the folder /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS there are other executables: fgcom, fgjs and crashpad_handler.

I’ve solved the problem modifying this line of code to point to the fgfs path:

/Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS/fgfs

Now the jsbsim simulation is working with also the visualization.

Thanks for the help!

Nice, that makes sense. I guess it should be using the variable rather than hard-coded fgfs. Feel free to make a pull request to upstream to fix it.

I went ahead with it: jsbsim: take FG_BINARY env var into account by julianoes · Pull Request #20924 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub
