Re: [osg-users] [ANN] 3rdParty Package released for Visual Studio 2013 RTM (v120)

2013-11-24 Thread Torben Dannhauer 
Terry,

Thank you for your clarification!

My currently knowledge (which might be false) is that you can choose the target 
system by a) using another SDK to compile and use libs compatible to XP, and b) 
by defining the subsystem version for the linker.
This modified linking affects two things: The subsystem is noted in the 
executable and can be edited with ORCA afaik. Additionally it changes the way 
how it is linked. A manually patched exe might work on XP or not, depending on 
the linker whether it used one of the new API calls or not.

To avoid all this caveats (and because the package contains also executables), 
I decided to mark it as non-XP.

I have still some customers using XP, but I admit I'm pushing torwards Win 7. 
In my opinion is Win7 a worthy successor of XP and I try to phase out all the 
XP support hooks - in particular since it is only supported until April 2014.

Best regards,
Torben

Re: [osg-users] Bit OT: building OSG on Windows 8?

Ah, you might have a broken cmake.
One of the versions I downloaded recently was broken for windows; had to
update to a point release.

 Hi,

 Thnx for your suggetions, strange things are happening... This errors
 occurs when cmake tries to figure out the compiler (don't have the details
 here). I will look in the direction you pointed out.

 Thanks,
 Raymond

 The only time I've had problems with mt.exe and access denied is when for
 some reason it runs the tool mt.exe too early.
 When this happens the linker still has the target .exe or .dll open as it
 links and therefore mt.exe will obviously fail.

 But I can't tell you why it happens or give you a fix.
 It's only happened to me a couple of times and pressing build again
 usually resolves the problem.

 I suppose you could try fiddling with the multiple project build settings
 and set it to only build one project at a time.

 Also check to see if there is a custom build rule which is trying to run
 mt. If so delete the rule and let VS take care of running mt

 Hi guys,

 Can you tell me which combination of tools you are using on windows 8?
 The error that I get (Access Denied) comes from mt.exe from Windows SDK
 7.1. I was trying to use that Windows SDK version since I always use it on
 Windows 7 without trouble.

 Cheers
 Raymond

  Hi Terry,
 
  Ok, that makes sense to me, and matches my findings so far. I have
 tried to get access to C: by changing the permissions but no luck so far,
 despite all the instructions online.
 
  I find it pretty hard to accept that windows is trying to protect me
 and not let me use my machine as I want it... sigh.
 
  On the other hand, I am suspecting visual studio too... Have you tried
 different versions of VS?
 
  Thanks for your hints, I am going on.
 
  cheers
  Raymond

  There are a lot of instructions online for giving users full access to

  problem. You'll have search a little and try things out. In the end I
  was only able to give myself full access to C:\terry but not C:.  You
  may have better luck. Now doing all my compiling and other work in
  C:\terry works fine.

Sounds reasonable. I didn't try your executables in XP, but they
should not work. It might still be a good idea to note on the
downloads page that the libs still work for XP in case someone needs a
newer version of a lib for whatever reason.

 I have still some customers using XP, but I admit I'm pushing torwards Win 7. 
 In my opinion is Win7 a worthy successor of XP and I try to phase out all the 
 XP support hooks - in particular since it is only supported until April 2014.

Win 7 is decent, but I still think Microsoft hasn't made an OS better
than XP :P Anyway, I'm making a game which needs to run as many places
as possible, and XP still has a third of the desktop OS market share.
(Although, people probably don't have many good graphics cards on
their old XP machines.)
