Hi, as a datapoint, here is my recipe for building OSG 2.4.0 on VS2005sp1/WinXPsp2 that I use for the win32 binary installer. Motivated by my own dreadful memory, my goal is to make the whole process as foolproof and turnkey as possible...
1) svn checkout https://osgtoy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/osgtoy/osgbuilds/tags/osg2.4.0_vs80sp1_setup_2008-04-28 (or trunk if you want my raw development) That is my SVN "build configuration" that points to all the necessary components via svn:external references to other project's tags. If you were to checkout using the --ignore-externals flags, you'd see that tree is actually only ~98KB, thanks to the magic of svn:external. But when checked-out with externals enabled, all the subsystems get pulled into the correct locations relative to each other. (fyi, this is why I really like using SVN to distribute the 3rdParty prebuilts, rather than having to coordinate the unpacking of .zip snapshots. Once you embrace svn:external, .zip snapshots are just a pain :-) 2) edit SETENV.bat to your liking You should review and decide if/what needs adjusting. Note that Release v. Debug is specified here. 3) run x1000_CMAKE.bat That sets my preference overrides for some CMake defaults then runs CMake (in non-GUI mode) to create the VS projects. You should review and decide if/what needs adjusting. 4) run x3000_VSIDE.bat That launches VisualStudio 2005, with the OSG envars initialized for ease of debugging, using the just-generated project files. 5) build as usual. Following these steps, I get no errors or significant warnings. Any tweaks are preserved in the three .bat scripts mentioned. My goal is (and in my experience) it Just Works. cheers -- mew PS Yep, I will capture this is a README -- Mike Weiblen -- Austin Texas USA -- http://mew.cx/ _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
