Re: [Paparazzi-devel] FlightGear not working

[Eric Parsonage]

Hi Felix, Andreas


I put the alignment pragma in the code for OSX which is 64 bit. But the 
official flightgear distribution for OSX is 32 bit. I needed to force the 
structure to be aligned correctly for the 32 bit flight gear to be able to 
decode the structure correctly.

Now you guys are moving to 64 bit linux and have flightgear built 64 bit then 
the pragma needs putting inside some ifdefs  that check for the operating 
system being OSX. Hopefully eventually flightgear will be built 64 bit for osx.
