Would voting there imply registration on the forum?
I've tried to formulate a poll below. It's impossible to cover every
possibility, of course.
For OS/X there are no prebuilt packages, right?
"How do you get your OpenSceneGraph binaries?"
(Windows) I use Mike Weiblen's precompiled binaries for both OSG and its
dependencies
(Windows) I compile OSG from source, but use precompiled dependencies

Hi J-S,

Yes, the increase in size would be a downside. But disk space and

plugins would increase (jpg, png, tiff, jp2).
I think we need to quantify it. Then we can evaluate if it's
significant or not.
If I have 16 OSG apps which all include (for example, I didn't try it)
5MB of dependencies statically linked each, that's 80MB instead of 5
(for the DLLs which could be shared). However, if I need to link to a
specific version of OSG+deps, I'd need my application to include the
specific DLLs in its directory anyways, so no savings there...
I wasn't suggesting that _apps_ link statically, merely that the plugin DLLs
link statically against their (non-OSG) dependencies.
Perhaps linking to static dependencies could be an option in the CMake
generation process, with the deps binary packages including static
libs, and the default being static. Then if others want to compile and
link to DLLs, they can switch the option in OSG's CMake config.
Here I am suggesting ideas which I don't have time to implement...
Shame on me.
Spoken like a true open source contributor :)
It would be interesting to know which users specifically are having
problems:
1. using prebuilt OSG + dependencies (either Mike's deps or perhaps
from the gnuwin32 project), not compiling their own app, are merely
trying out the OSG 2. using prebuilt OSG + dependencies, are
compiling their own app 3. using prebuilt dependencies, compiling OSG
from source, compiling their own apps 4. compiling everything from
source
Are you suggesting a poll? Doing this on the mailing list would be a
bit hard to keep track of... (Incidentally, I'm mostly in 3, though
I'll have to move to 4 for 64 bit soon). Does the wiki have a poll
functionality? Or perhaps we could use Gordon's forum for that?
Well, it was more of a philosophical question, but a poll would be
interesting. Using the ML for that will be horrible, although easy to do. I
don't think trac supports polls out of the box. If we could have a web-based
poll on the forum site we'd only have to publicize it on osg-users.
What do you mean with the 4th mailing list for 64 bit, b.t.w?
Paul
