Dear all, you might find this information useful. Feel free to include it into your documentation.
Best regards, Andreas 1) Download the OSG source-files from http://www.openscenegraph.org/downloads/stable_releases/OpenSceneGraph-2.6/OpenSceneGraph-2.6.0.zip and extract all files to e.g. C:\home\bob\openscenegraph 2) Checkout the prebuilt OSG 3rdParty libraries (revision 531) for windows from https://osgtoy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/osgtoy/3rdParty/branches/3rdParty_win32binaries_vs80sp1 to e.g. C:\home\bob\3rd_party 3) CMake - Download CMake from http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.8-win32-x86.zip - Extract to [somewhere]. 4) Execute [somewhere]\cmake-2.4.8-win32-x86\bin\CMakeSetup.exe - Where is the source code: C:\home\bob\openscenegraph - Where to build the binaries: C:\home\bob\openscenegraph-bin (for example) - "Configure" - Select Generator, Build For: Visual Studio 8 2005 - "OK" 5) Configure (I only list changed ones; also, not everything is necessary, so adapt to your needs): - ACTUAL_3RD_PARTY_DIR=C:/home/bob/3rd_party BUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES=ON CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/home/bob/openscenegraph-installed (for example) - "Configure" - BUILD_MFC_EXAMPLE=ON - "Configure" - Mark "Show advanced values" - Set FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_freetype2 to value of FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR/freetype - Set FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build to value of FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR - "OK" 6) Build - Open C:\home\bob\openscenegraph-bin\OpenSceneGraph.sln - Choose solution configuration "Release" (or any other, if you like) - Build ("F7", or right-click on solution, choose "Build Solution") 7) Install in C:/home/bob/openscenegraph-installed - Right-click on VS-Project 'INSTALL' within the solution, choose "Build" - Furtheron, you can use the installed C:/home/bob/openscenegraph-installed/[include|lib|...] as a source for your projects. 8) Install redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2005 (in this order) You need the redistributables if your version of Visual Studio with which you compiled OSG was different from the version which was used to compile the 3rdParty libraries. So if you don't use Visual Studio 2005 with Service Pack 1, you have to install the redistributable packages: - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee File: vcredist_x86.exe - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647 File: vcredist_x86.exe 9) Using the OSG libs as dependencies in a Visual Studio solution - In your project's properties, use the environment variable OSG_ROOT to get Visual Studio to find the OSG libraries: - Properties - C/C++ - General - Additional Include Directories = $(OSG_ROOT)\include - Properties - Linker - General - Additional Library Directories = $(OSG_ROOT)\lib - Properties - Linker - Input - Additional Dependencies = (any OSG library your project needs - for example: osg.lib osgGA.lib osgDB.lib osgViewer.lib osgText.lib osgUtil.lib OpenThreads.lib) Andreas Haßler wrote: > Hi, > > installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) > from > > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en > > solves the problems. > > Thanks a lot for your help > > > Tomlinson, Gordon wrote: >> Have you installed the correct Microsoft re-distributables on all the >> machines that match VS2005/VC8 and SP1 ? >> And are all the machines at the same windows patch level ? >> >> >> Gordon >> >> __________________________________________________________ >> Gordon Tomlinson >> >> Product Manager 3D >> Email : gtomlinson @ overwatch.textron.com >> __________________________________________________________ >> (C): (+1) 571-265-2612 >> (W): (+1) 703-437-7651 >> >> "Self defence is not a function of learning tricks >> but is a function of how quickly and intensely one >> can arouse one's instinct for survival" >> - Master Tambo Tetsura >> >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andreas >> Haßler >> Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 1:16 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [osg-users] Failed loading osgdb_freetype.dll >> >> Hi, >> >> we have the following problems: >> >> We use osg-2.6.0 >> (http://www.openscenegraph.org/downloads/stable_releases/OpenSceneGraph-2.6/OpenSceneGraph-2.6.0.zip) >> and the 3rdPartyLibraries >> (https://osgtoy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/osgtoy/3rdParty/branches/3rdParty_win32binaries_vs80sp1, >> Revision 531). >> >> We have developed an application with visual studio and the instructions >> here: >> >> http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/PlatformSpecifics/VisualStudio >> >> >> The 3rdPartyLibraries are installed and can be found.
