Hi John, The Cmake file for osgconv is the same for Windows as it is unix, so osgViewer should be included already in the build, there is in essence no difference between the specified libs between osgviewer and osgconv. Curiously osgconv even references sybmbols from include/osgViewer (see the dynamic_cast<GraphicsWindow*>) so I'm rather preplexed that its being so aggressive in not linking in the lib, even though its been told to link and the code already references symbols from it. One suggestion is to add a getosgViewerGetVersion(), have you tried this?
As for you app and your clients, the OSG is open source, you can modify the source and pass on appropriate binaries to your client, you needn't wait for use to get a non hacky solution checked into the OSG.
