Also to look at another way there are, OSG cannot be responsible for what users link in or pull in with headers There are many instances of headers from other packages that have to be included in a certain order and they know nothing about each other, this effects not just OSG but many packages. In your own code your can and certainly should document when headers have to be include in a certain order Or even excluded, btw this can even extend to the way you link certain libs on good old windoze .... __________________________________________________________ Gordon Tomlinson Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] YIM/AIM : gordon3dBrit MSN IM : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website : www.vis-sim.com www.gordontomlinson.com __________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Turner Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:11 AM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] osg/GL + glut.h interaction On 23 Jul 2008, at 10:56, Robert Osfield wrote: > Can you not just avoid GLUT because it's crap for an proper > application development.

Agreed, but I do think it should be 'officially' documented somewhere, because the failure mode is *extremely* confusing. I was dealing with code that was indirectly dragging in glut.h through two other layers of library headers, and wasted many hours untangling the mess. Though I suppose the next person to have the issue will search the OSG list archives and maybe find this thread. Hello to that person, now you know what the fix is :) James _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
