With latest OSG-svn I was specifically referring to the latest sources from the OSG subversion trunk - which shouldn't be the standard for any FG git user (unless you really, really know what you're doing). cheers, Thorsten -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.

[Flightgear-devel] OSG version (was Auto-hiding the cursor)
On 21.03.2011 21:04, HB-GRAL wrote: Just to report: It’s a OSG 2.9.9 issue on OSX, was going back to 2.9.7 and all works fine. Also the keyboard input. (I am a victim of the wiki too now :-P , I wrote myself months ago 2.9.7 is needed and someone changed requirement for OSX 10.6 to OSG 2.9.9. Don’t know the reason for this, but beside that, I guess the nightlies based on 2.9.9 are also not working correctly ?) htgear-devel Until some weeks ago, there was a standard recommendation in the wiki to use latest OSG-svn when running FG git (actually in several places in the wiki). But using the bleeding edge OSG sources causes issues, since OSG development is pretty active and they have frequent changes. There is no way we could keep up/test those changes on weekly/daily/hourly notice. And sometimes OSG itself is also introducing new bugs in their code (like this probably: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=268). Recently we've seen many people reporting issues due to unstable OSG - both, in the tracker and on the mailing list. Also, we found that any normally advanced FG git user doesn't even need to run the very latest OSG sources. Those very few who actually need it (i.e. in order to adapt FlightGear), know anyway what to do (hey Tim! :) ). So, after some discussion we decided to recommend the latest _stable_ OSG release by default (which still is OSG2.8.3). And for those, who really want to be a guinea pig and test the OSG-developer versions, we found that 2.9.9 was the latest (at the time) which was working with Linux/Mac/Windows (reported by several people on irc including Tim/James, I think). That's why the wiki was changed (default: 2.8.3, and 2.9.9 for keen developers). And it was me updating the OSG wiki page: http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/OSG Personally, I prefer to stick with OSG stable (2.8.3) - which works great for me. There are still enough issues in FG git itself to worry about... ;-) I just noticed though, that a number of wiki pages again returned to recommend the use of latest OSG-svn *sigh*. I don't know why people keep recommending that... cheers, Thorsten -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.

I see right now I did a bad mistake in OSG configuration cocoa vs. carbon. There is no Xcode support anymore with OSG 2.9.9 and there have been some changes in default cmake configuration. Oi, oi, oi. Coming back here means reading two weeks list/forum/wikis, compiling two weeks (13 days for OSG, 1 day for sg/fg), buying a new machine, do it all again, but finally: I am always happy. Now I am building again, also because I see that the hudson nightlies are working with 2.9.9 on OSX 10.6. Sorry for this confusion. I hope the new compiled OSG libs will solve all my issues posted the last two days. And after that I follow the thread Quiet.
