Hi Mike One thing you could do on windows is use something like Final builder http://www.finalbuilder.com/ it allows for some very complicated automated build...
Would be nice if VStudio did something like this but it does not I will probably look at doing a VisualStudio.NET 8.0 2008 pre-build install bundle similar to your 2003 within the next couple of weeks or so Best Regards Gordon __________________________________________________________ Gordon Tomlinson Email : gordon.tomlinson @ overwatch.com YIM/AIM : Gordon3dBrit MSN IM : Gordon3dBrit @ 3dscenegraph.com __________________________________________________________ "Self defence is not a function of learning tricks but is a function of how quickly and intensely one can arouse one's instinct for survival" - Master Tambo Tetsura -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Weiblen Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 1:51 AM To: osg users Subject: [osg-users] win32 installer build process (WAS Your Precompiled OSGdistro) Hi Don, attached pls find some instructions and a .bat file demonstrating the process of unpacking sources, compiling, and building an InnoSetup win32 binary installer for OSG et al using VisualStudio.NET 7.1 2003. It is derived from that used to build the OSG v1.2 win32 installer. For reference, I've posted an archive of the sources that demonstrate these instructions at http://mew.cx/testing/ This turned out to be more of a pain than I expected. The process is convoluted due to the lack of some standard *nix cmdline tools on Windows, and the inherent non-automatability of some parts of Visual Studio, etc. Fact is on Linux, the whole thing could be automated with something like "make installer" (or "ebuild openscenegraph"); on Windows it's all click-here-pull-that-stand-on-right-foot-double-take-three-times-etc which simply ain't fun to write documentation for.
