Nobody's talking about cross-compiling the whole OSG. I'm talking about the build system picking the correct libraries for almost _everything_ - just for the GIF and the FreeType plugin it is referring to the wrong directories.
You need to pick up different libs for 32 bit and 64 bit build, as well as use different build options, this is cross compiling.

I get the slight idea that you decided to replace the burden of maintaining the build system with the burden of using it .... Man, things were so easy before CMake was made compulsory for building OSG.
No. The CMake build system is meant to make all our lives easier. We are still in early days for the new build system, so far its worked very well over a large number of platfoms, far better than the old build systems as build breaks were very common under Windows. Its not perfect, and we are all still learning about it, improving the build. The 'original' OSG build system was set up to tell between different
platforms and to apply the respective flags for each of them. I wonder if there is no such thing in CMake that allows simply to adapt all these rules accordingly !? This would save us/me from a bunch of trouble that was introduced with CMake.
There is a huge amount of flexibility with CMake, you just need to be patient, you are unluckly to have found an edge case that non of those working on the CMake build system have had access to, so rather than curse CMake, learn about it and help get our build system working smoothly. Robert.
