Hi Gordon,
Past experience suggests that typically under Microsoft this will be problematic
Between Windows versions? Any executable I have seen can be run on Win2k, WinXP and Vista without problem. I haven't tested with something compiled on Windows 7, but I don't expect any trouble.
But I can already say that OSG executables and DLLs compiled on Vista run fine on Windows 7. I've tried that. It's the other way around (compiled on Windows 7, run on something else) that I haven't tested yet.
And don’t forget Windows 7 is early beta code which will add to the issues of binary compatibility etc.
Binary compatibility is a problem between compiler versions, not between Windows versions. A .lib compiled with VS2008, linked to an .exe compiled with VS2005, will have binary compatibility problems. But between Windows versions? I don't think I've ever seen a problem there.
(apart from non-true-win32 versions such as Win95, 98 and ME... but barring these, executables should work on Win2k, XP, Vista, 7 without problems)
Anyways, I'll test to be sure and report back.
