I wonder if the Mac guys to help me fill in the blanks there. I know that the Mac way of doing things is to put the world under a Framework directory but I'm not clear on the particulars (sorry, I haven't looked at the Mac binary distribution as it may well fill this in very nicely).
Anyway, what this table does is attempt to define three types of distributions: Run-Time, Demos, Development and Source code. (actually, the source code is not on the table as it needs more "deep thought" - but the current system is close).
Under *NIX systems, I've put four options as these are the preferences I've come across over the years. That is, things can be installed in
/usr
/usr/local
/usr/local/$(PACKAGE) (e.g. /usr/local/OpenSceneGraph)
or/usr/local
/usr/local/$(PACKAGE) (e.g. /usr/local/OpenSceneGraph)
/opt/$(PACKAGE) (e.g. /opt/OpenSceneGraph)
ANything missing? Any more ideas?

Hi Don,
Sure, I'll collect the list of steps for building the win32 installer for posting.
By design, the win32 installer contains all the sources in all the right places
to build itself (with some unavoidable manual interaction) on VS7.1. The only
external components required are tools like innosetup, 7zip and of course VS7.1.
(in the future I'll be sure to include the recipe in the installer too :-)
As for other binary installers, I've tinkered with a Gentoo ebuild (my current
prefered distro). The thing about Linux is so many different packaging systems,
you have to have some requirement driving a decision to target one.
Cheers
