I just did a build on a clean 2.7.7 source tree using Visual Studio 8.1.
When I came to do the Release INSTALL target I got a failure whilst it was
copying header files into the "\Program Files\OpensceneGraph\Include"
directory. The error message was not very informative, it just said "failed
to copy". I looked into the directory and all the files up to the one the
failed had a new date stamp. On a whim I reran the INSTALL target and this
time it got past the file it had failed on and failed on another header file
further on. I reran it a couple more times and it got further each time
eventually completing without error. It looks like there may be an error in
the Cmake file install scripts when they have to copy a large a number of
files. The reason it appeared to get further each time appeared to be
because the header files it had already copied now showed as "up to date"
rather than "Installing". If anyone else sees this don't worry just rerun
the INSTALL. I leave this to anyone who understands CMake to fix!

    

I'm not sure it needs fixing. I just ran an install of my entire build
tree including the reference docs (>10000 files). I'm on winxp with
msvc8 sp1 with osg-2.7.8. No problems reported (except that with an
encrypted ntfs drive it takes a bit of time :)

What you are seeing could have many causes. Could be that you are
installing to a network drive, antivirus software, hard drive
failures, ...

cheers

Agreed, I am not going to worry about it :-) I have to run in adninistrator mode in Vista to do the INSTALL so who knows what arcane paths are being invoked!

Roger
