Neil,
I did a search in this forum and also a Google search for osg71-
The SO version has been there for a very long time. If it is not there for the old version you downloaded, then it's either a very old version or the versioning was disabled by the person who did the build. However it is there for a reason (to avoid an OSG app picking up the wrong version of a DLL that you may have on your PATH).
I don't know why you're focusing on this so much, it works so what's the problem?
Plus, no one can know exactly what you're talking about when you say ~45 DLLs, you would need to give us a list, or look at exactly what DLLs are there. If some downloaded version of OSG had all the plugins in the main bin folder instead of the osgPlugins folder that may well account for a lot more DLLs. Plus 3rdparty dependencies' DLLs might be there too. No one can know unless you list the DLLs, or just look at the names yourself you should be able to figure it out.
Hope this helps, J-S -- ______________________________________________________ Jean-Sebastien Guay [email protected] http://www.cm-labs.com/ http://whitestar02.webhop.org/ _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
