Hello Neil,

I did not get any errors with the Cmake GUI, it just put it under C:\Program 
Files so I just needed to move it to C:\OpenSceneGraph

I understand you did not get any errors, but what did you set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to? Can you check again to be 100% sure? "C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph" is the default value for that field, so that's why I ask if you changed it or not.

I tried for a few hours with this but a considerable more time with the 
pre-compiled download.

Of course, but it's hard to provide binaries that suit everyone. It's up to the community to submit the binaries when a new release is made, so there will be binaries for the most used platforms/compilers, but for the others, or for special needs, you'll have to build from source.

That example mentions BasicGeometry.cpp but pretty much ends with just printing 
!!Hello World!!

At the top of the page it also says that the example is outdated, so perhaps you could look around the site for a more recent one.

That example is closed to comments so any changes, corrections, clarifications 
or whatever problems someone else has had and what was done to correct the 
problem is null ('\0').

It is not closed to comments (at least not on the wiki), you just need to create an account and then get editing privileges from the webmaster. The whole site is not editable except by people who have that privilege enabled in their account, to prevent spamming the wiki. E-mail Jose Luis Hidalgo if you want editing privileges (joseluis dot hidalgo at gmail dot com)

Maybe here or somewhere else saw something to the effect that the bin directory 
had to be put in the system path rather than linked in the IDE be it Eclipse, 
VC++ or whatever.

That's just how it works on Windows (and most OSes) in general, the DLLs are not needed at compile time so your compiler has nothing to do with it, they are needed at run time, so they can either be in the same directory as the executable, or in one of the directories on your PATH (or LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/Unix, or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on MacOS X).

I have been using Upp, TheIde http://www.ultimatepp.org/index.html for my C++ 
programming so I am at a disadvantage with Eclipse but as much as I dislike 
VC++ may have to try that if you have a link to an example that you know is 
current, complete and works correctly.

... from your next post ...

For C++ with Upp I use the MS VC++ 9 and 10  and also the MinGW compilers and 
they all work OK.

Good, glad to know you got it working.

I will be glad to help, I have more than 1600 posts on the NASA WW forum
http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=39
Probably 95% of those are helping others.

Excellent, welcome to the community!
