I don't think the problems weren't just 64-bit. About a month ago (), I posted a message with the subject "Undefined Symbols in OSG on Mac OS X"
The OSG binary installer for Mac OS X 10.4 (the 10.4u SDK) *mostly* worked, but my applications would not compile if I made calls to osg::Image::readPixels() or osg::StateSet::setMode(). E. Wing replied that: ===== Yeah, Apple screwed up and broke binary compatibility between 10.4 and 10.5 when using OpenGL and C++. I have notes and binaries coming on this, but the short story is you can't use 10.4 built frameworks against the 10.5 SDK or you get the linking problems you see. Either switch to the 10.4u SDK on Leopard, or use a set of OSG frameworks built against the 10.5 SDK. ===== Anyway, once the Mac OS X 10.5 SDK (32-bit only) was released and I upgraded to it (http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Downloads) it solved the linking problems I was having. If you look through the release notes for the 10.5 SDK, it mentions that Apple changes some of the types in the OpenGL headers, so OSG had to be rebuilt for that. - Michael Stephan Maximilian Huber wrote: > Andreas Goebel schrieb: >> I am about to buy a mac to port my osg-based application to mac-os.
