It's actually really easy to build the contrib stuff and additional libraries. The reason I've not included the contrib bits within the Ubuntu packages is because of the licensing restrictions. Have a look at my blog post for enabling ply support, doing the other bits is done the same way http://davemorris.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/enabling-ply-support-for-opensg-on-ubuntu-hardy/ It's much nicer than building from source since that takes hours and can still go wrong :) It also makes it easier for you to distribute your addon libraries this way. -- David Morris Research Assistant School of Computing, Mathematics and Information Sciences, Room 108 Watts Building Lewes Road University of Brighton Bright BN2 4GJ UK +44 (0)1273 642917 IRC : davemorris on irc.freenode.net Jabber : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Opensg-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensg-users
