hi jean, robert,

yeah, i'm torn about this too - it's a little odd to do, have this bifurcated osg include path thing. i don't mind adding another include directory to my stuff, that's easy enough, but it smells like something isn't being done in a very clean way. i'm just not yet sure what's better, as i'm not sure what probelm is being solved by osg/ Config, yet.

oh, fyi, i never do installs, so that technique is out for me. installing means putting stuff in a system-ish spot, and i like to have have a clean development machine. another reason i don't install is so i can build/test against multiple versions of osg. all i do is switch where the my build cmake stuff looks to find osg headers and osg binaries, and i'm off.

anyway, i'll add include paths for now, and look at the rest, later.

Hi Robert,

If you do an install of the OSG this should solve the problem. If you
don't do an install then doing out source builds will require you to
add an extra include to find the Config files.  So doable, but not as
pretty as it could be.

OK, so since I always do an install I shouldn't run into the same problem as Bob.

Any reason why CMake can't put the generated Config file into the source's include dir, even for out of source builds? I don't know what's worse, CMake putting files into your source tree even for out- of-source builds or referencing a directory in the build tree in a project's include paths... That's why I always do an install, I personally see the build directory as strictly temporary - it shouldn't be used for anything other than while building.
