Yes, I' ve been asked by Robert to put OPENSCENEGRAPH_SOVERSION on core dll instead of my first guess OPENSCENEGRAPH_VERSION that is used for plugin folder. I presume is for consintency with Unix conventions If you get error on GEO plugin, this is expected and a patch is already submitted Hope it works Luigi > > On 8/30/07, * Robert Osfield* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > Hi All, > > Over the last week there has been various discussions on the > osg-submissions lists about refining the Windows build configuration > so that it builds in a way that makes it easier to use without > setting > paths to plugins or libs.
