Thanks for your prompt reply, I'll have another go at it.

Subject: Re: [osg-users] Compiling VRML 2.0 Plugin (Visual Studio 8)
Hello Kim,

I regularly compile OSG with the OpenVRML plugin under VS8 (in my
case, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, but functionally equivalent to
Visual Studio 2005). There have been some fixes lately to make the
right OpenVRML libraries link, which seems to be related to the errors
you are getting. What version of OSG are you trying to compile?
I believe the latest fixes went into 2.1.13, so if you're using a
previous version, either update to the latest (2.1.13 or straight from
SVN) or you'll have to do some manual tweaking to your project files.
And you're right, linker errors like those you're getting are either
because the library is not found or they're compiled against the wrong
Visual C++ runtime. In particular, the linker errors you're getting
suggest that you're missing antlr.lib (and probably also regex.lib) in
the "plugins vrml" project's Linker - Input - Additional Dependencies
setting. In the debug configuration, it should be openvrmld.lib,
antlrd.lib and regexd.lib . The changes done lately would set the
right libraries automatically when generating the project files with
CMake, but if you don't want to update, you need to do it manually.
I'll add a note in the instructions you read.

Apart from what I said above, after following the instructions, you
should have your own compiled libraries in a separate directory.
That's the directory you need to point CMake to. You cannot compile
the OSG OpenVRML plugin using the versions of the libs that come
precompiled in the zip you downloaded, that will get you lots of
errors because they are linked to the wrong Visual C++ runtime.
So, make sure you're linking to the three libraries (openvrml.lib,
antlr.lib, regex.lib), make sure you're linking to your own versions
of the libs, and make sure you're linking to the right versions
depending on the configuration ('d' suffix for debug, no suffix for
release).
Good luck,
J-S
