Hi Philip, Robert, and all FYI, some devs and I started to add a CMake script to libcurl ; and the libcurl community seemed quite interested, yet not waiting for it. Unfortunately I didn't had time to finish the job for now. If you intend to work on it, you may have a look to what has been done

Hi Philip, I'm all for integrating CMakePorts support into OSG build. I'm I correct in reading the cmakeports_osg.path that one would build the OSG and have the external libs build automatically when required? Currently .patch only lists jpeg, zlib and png. Is this just a preliminary lists? Are

Hi Philip, Sherman, I agree with the basic principle that building everything from source removes lots of uncertainty from the equation. The only problem I have with that is that whenever you want to bump the version number of one of the dependencies, you run the risk that some changes in the

While poring over thread after thread dealing with build dependencies on Windows I had a weird thought a while back: computers are fast these days, why not just build everything (including 3rd party dependencies) from source? The way I see it, issues on Windows are going to get worse far before th
