Re: [osg-users] osgdb_freetype.dll not getting built
Hi Sinisa, You mention vc++ 2008 so I'm guessing you have visual studio 2008 with the vc90 in which case the problem may well be that Mike's 3rdParty binaries are (more or less) incompatible with your system. You should try: http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/People/MattiasHelsing/3rdParty_Win32Binaries_vc90.zip The zip above will soon get updated as compiled with vc90 sp1 cheers Mattias On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 11:27 PM, Paul Martz pma...@skew-matrix.com wrote: Check the mailing list archives.

Re: [osg-users] osgdb_freetype.dll not getting built
?? Please go back and read his original problem report. If the VS8 libraries weren't compatible with VS9, this doesn't explain why CMake can't find them. :-) As it turns out, Mike VS8 libraries work great with VS9. I have two systems in the office here with VS9 Express and Mike's VS8 binaries. Not only did CMake find them, but the libraries work fine at runtime (osgviewer stats display uses the FreeType plugin without a problem). I'm not sure I'd ship a product with this compiler mix, but it works fine for development purposes. From the original email, it sounds like he isn't using the precompiled binaries at all. Perhaps your VS9 binaries will help him, though, so thanks for posting that.

It is very strange how this works on some system and some don't. What's sure is that many haven't got the same luck as you :-) Ah! Good to know. For what it's worth, I still have unexplained issues with Mike's Debug VS8 binaries on my _VS8_ build of OSG. For a while , I thought it was the service pack issue, but even after installing the service pack, I still have some issues, and no one else seems to encounter them. There seems to be lots of non-reproducible issues with VS, the wldap32.lib issue in the CURL plugin is another one. :-( -Paul ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
