I certainly don't expect a build system to detect every possible place
where a header file or a library may hide. I'm very familiar with
telling a build system where to find all the dependencies.
The problem with the current state in OSG lies in the fact that the
build system allows to override too few variables - way too many
variables don't show up as a swich in ccmake and you can't override
them with "-D" on the cmake command line.
This is what I've been complaining - and I suspect that the current
trouble on non-mainstram platforms will not see any solution if this
state remains.
Cheers,
Martin.
