I am attaching example Makefiles for 32bit Linux. For 64bit it needs a
change in the path where to find the osg lib, that could be handled by a
README, IMHO - 64bit systems are not that common. It could be detected
automatically, but the point was to keep the examples simple, I think.

The Linux32 folder goes into the OSGExamples directory, all paths to the
source are relative.

The picking example does not compile with gcc 4.1.2, it looks like a
const ref issue at one place. I have attached the compilation log for you.

Furthermore, you may want to attach *all* the data files with the
examples (namely cow.osg, reflection.rgb and few other files). It is a
bit confusing when there is a "Data" folder containing some of the
required files but not all of them.

Another thing with the data files - I suggest that you force an abort
when the required data file is not found instead of issuing only a
warning. Otherwise I get the warning and right away a segfault on Linux
if the data file is missing. That may imply that something is actually
wrong with the example instead of only being a case of wrong arguments.
Moreover, it is the right thing to do in this case - if it is not
possible to continue meaningfully, you should not do so.

Regards,

Jan
