Hi Robert,
Thanks for the reply. I'll be upgrade CMake for my next build of OSG.
But do you have any comment on the final paragraph of my e-mail?
Embedding the install path configured when OSG is built only makes sense
if OSG is not distributed in binary form.

HI Mark,
I would recommend using CMake 2.6.x under Windows.

Hello all,
I'd like to report a build error I encountered on Windows using
CMake 2.4 and default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. The default value for
the install prefix is "C:/Program Files/OpenSceneGraph" (without
the quotes). The space in the path appears to confuse CMake when
generating the project file for osgDB. The problematic CMake
source line is:
ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DOSG_DEFAULT_LIBRARY_PATH=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib${LIB_POSTFIX}/${OSG_PLUGINS})
CMake splits this line at the space, creating an output line of
"-DOSG_DEFAULT_LIBRARY_PATH=C:/Program" plus an additional
compiler option of "Files/OpenSceneGraph/lib/osgPlugins-2.8.0".
The compiler tries to compile this as a file and throws an error.
Putting quotes around the string for the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
option fixes the problem.
In addition to noting this build problem, I would like to question
the desirability of storing the install path in the binary. The
users of my software certainly won't be installing OSG in a fixed
path determined at the time I compile the software, so best case
here is a useless check of a nonexistent directory. Worst case is
that another build of OSG is in that directory with plugins built
with incompatible compiler options, leading to a crash. I suggest
removing this osg default library path or having an option to
disable it (preferably with disabled being the default).
Regards,
Mark
