Hi All, The CMake build work is ticking along rather nicely under Windows and Linux we do need testing on platforms that that CMake build contributors don't have access to, platforms that we've had feedback of success so far is:
Windows VS 8.0, 32 + 64 bit. Windows Mingw Linux 32 + 64 bit. IRIX OSX, albiet without frame work support (this will require work on Cmake itself.) The leaves: Windows Cygwin FreeBSD Solaris HP-UX AIX All these platforms should compile pretty straight forwardly, one might need to tweak some of the search paths required to find various dependencies - see the OpenSceneGraph/CMakeModules directory for all the Find*.cmake files. The build work is being discussed on the osg-build list: http://groups.google.com/group/osg-build?hl=en CMake can be download from their website: http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Index.html To use Cmake you basically use it to build the build system native to your machine: cd OpenThreads cmake . make sudo make install cd .. cd OpenScenSceneGaph cmake . make sudo make install cd .. You can also use ccmake in place of cmake, ccmake automatically brings up a UI to edit the various options in the build, and where to find dependencies etc. You can also do an out of source build using cmake, but you'll need to do this before building in source as cmake works to avoid having both in source and out of source working in a parallel: // whilst at top level beside OpenThreads and OpenSceneGraph: mkdir build_OpenThreads cd build_OpenThreads cmake ../OpenThreads make etc. Cmake will also automatically find various dependencies, so you won't need to go play games with getting dependencies which are essential to you, or configuring the OSG not to build them. Ping the list if you have any more questions. And don't worry about this new adventure, Cmake is friendly, its incredibly flexible and it builds fast, faster than the old unix build system, its a build system that has very much grown on me. I'm keen to move across to Cmake entirely as soon as possible, so I would very much appreciate testing on Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and FreeBSD, once we have the thumbs up on these platforms I'll start making moves to deprecate the old Windows and Unix build systems. Thanks in advance, Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/
