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 (Windows) I compile OSG and its dependencies from source (Windows) Other (Linux) I compile OSG from source myself (Linux) I use packages provided by my distribution (Linux) Other Paul > ( please note I have *.gmail.com on new account addresses disabled due > to high spam attacks, I will turn this off if needed > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul > Melis > Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 11:12 AM > To: OpenSceneGraph Users > Subject: Re: [osg-users] problem with osg 2.4 stable release > > Hi J-S, > Jean-Sébastien Guay wrote: > >>> Yes, the increase in size would be a downside.
