Hi, imho I'd keep w/ VS7.1 across the board for your initial porting effort to OSG 2.x, then migrate to VS9 later as necessary; just avoids having too many variables at play. Take things one step at a time.
fwiw I dont use VS9 yet, consequently I have no VS9 prebuilt 3rdParty libraries, so you'll have to build those too if you move straight to VS9. My VS8 prebuilts are actively maintained, but mixing them w/ VS9 seems asking for trouble. The VS7.1 prebuilts are frozen but still available at the osgToy svn; there may be a couple you will have to build from a newer version (eg freetype) my $0.02 cheers -- mew On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 2:26 PM, Rick Pingry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All, > > We are finally taking the plunge from OSG 1.2 and Producer to the newest > version on SVN.
