Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Can't compile svn version of osgPPU against osg 2.8.3
Hi bouffa, thx for this info! I never knew that there was a difference between trunk and branch not suspected such a think.

I'm not sure what new problem OSG 2.8.3 has created for osgPPU that didn't already exist with the OSG 2.8.2 release. Can you explain the problem? I believe the answer is this: in the developer version of osg, 2.9.7 (I do not see any access to version 2.9.8 ) there was a method added to the PixelDataBufferObject class called getOrCreateGLBufferObject(). This method is required by the svn or trunk version of osgPPU but it is NOT needed by osgPPU 0.4. osgPPU 0.4 compiles with 2.8.3 and 2.8.2 branch versions, no problem. I do not believe there is a new problem unless we mix the developer version of osgPPU with a branch version of osg and this is where I became very confused as I never knew the developer version was called trunk and the stable release versions were called branch. I was mixing the two trying to implement some of Art's latest updates in osgPPU. I do believe Art has a good point: when the developer version of osg diverges from the branch, what is he do to when he is relying on functionality in the developer version that is not in a branch version? -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=27151#27151 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Can't compile svn version of osgPPU against osg 2.8.3
Hi Allen, usual naming convention is to call trunk to the current content of the working base in svn repsitory. This means, trunk is something were all changes/patches are applied to. After some time, trunk is get tagged, branched, and new release is published. In several cases the so tagged version is get developed further, which in that case happened to osg. Somewhere the version 2.7.x was tagged/branched as 2.8 and released as stable version. The work continued on 2.9.x but also patches were applied to 2.8.x. So in general this means, that it could happen that if current 2.9.x version will be tagged as 2.10 there could exists both versions living besides, 2.8 and 2.10 having different APIs. As for osgPPU it is not only the getOrCreateGLBufferObject() which don't work, but also much more things. I tried yesterday to bring combine current trunk version of osgPPU with osg 2.8 and that didn't really worked out without introducing additional bugs. So, I decided to submit several patches to the 0.4 release but do not include new features, only patches. This will be a 0.4.1 version, which will be compatible with up-to osg 2.8.3. As for very new features, like new Units or new examples, I will have to wait until next stable release from the 2.9.x version ,which might be the 2.10. Maybe I will come with some developer release inbetween so that there is something compatible with osg 2.9.x versions out there.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Can't compile svn version of osgPPU against osg 2.8.3
Thank you Art. :) I understand and it does appear that the trunk version of OSG has a different API from the stable release version, 2.8.3. I'll be happy to stay with osg 2.8.3 and osgPPU 0.4. This combination works very well on both linux and windows. I'll upgrade my version of osgPPU whenever you have the time out update it. No hurry. I really appreciate your work as you have helped me immeasurably! I can now accomplish my task and finish my project because of your osgPPU module.

This will be a 0.4.1 version, which will be compatible with up-to osg 2.8.3. This part I do not understand. I just downloaded the osgPPU 0.4 tar.gz, and it builds fine with OSG 2.8.3.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Can't compile svn version of osgPPU against osg 2.8.3
Hi Paul, no, I do not have to change anything to build for 2.8.3 It is just that I added some small and big features to osgPPU. For example current svn trunk version has new Units (UnitInOutRepeat - for iterative/loop subgraphs), new examples and some bugfixes. I cannot use that new unit in 2.8.3 because it relay on some changes in 2.9.x versions (i.e. RenderingBin sorting mode TRAVERSE_ORDER). However, some bugfixes can be included very well into 0.4 branch. I just cannot tag the svn trunk of osgppu in order to be compatible with latest stable release 2.8.3. Hence I have to repatch the 0.4 version in order to solve the bugs and hence maintain also the 0.4 branch. So the 0.4.1 version will include only bugfixes, no new features.

Hi Allen, hmm, very strange, current osgPPU version compiles against osg 2.9.8 which is the developer version number of 2.8.3 branch, as I think. The compilation error is about include files, did you checked that osg 2.8.3 also has reinstalled your include files. I will check this today or tomorrow.

So, my use of the C preprocessor for OSG compatibility is very infrequent and is not a problem in itself. However, testing on different versions can be a burden to external project managers, and that's a decision you have to make. Just to chime in with another data point, we generally want to keep our OSG graphics integration compatible with at least two generations of OSG (currently 2.6.x and 2.8.x), but in general we're compatible across the whole spectrum from 2.2 on (some features are not usable on such old versions but they're disabled by compile-time checks). We might be compatible with 2.0 as well, we just never checked (we moved from 1.2 to 2.2 directly). We use the OSG_VERSION_GREATER_OR_EQUAL and OSG_VERSION_LESS_THAN macros in some places, mostly where we derived a class to work around a bug we found in a given version of OSG, and also submitted the fix to the base osg:: class in parallel, so the next stable version contains the fix and doesn't need the derived class anymore. But they're used only sporadically, and the code is still very manageable and clear.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPPU] Can't compile svn version of osgPPU against osg 2.8.3
Hi Paul, you are right, current svn trunk of osgPPU is not compatible with osg 2.8.3, thats true. But what I mean is what should external project developers do, if there is a branch with different API in the osg svn repository? For example, current osg developer version is 2.9.8 which is not compatible to 2.8.3. The version 2.8.3 came right a weak ago or so. The 2.9.8 and 2.9.7 osg versions exists longer than the 2.8.3 version. So as for my project I try to be compatible to the most youngest osg version. In this case this is the developer version in the trunk. However if some time ago there was a split into another branch it might became painful to have an external NodeKit compatible with all official osg branches that exists. I mean 2.8.3 is based on 2.8, so between 2.8 and 2.9 there was an API change, this is ok. However both versions 2.8.3 and 2.9.x were maintained in parallel. So for NodeKit developers this would mean we have to take care also on osg branches in our trunks, which might became painful. Therefor I just asked, which kind of solutions there might exists. But, ok, never mind, I will try to come up now with a solution to have the best of both worlds, new features and compatible API to the official stable release. art P.S. On the osgPPU webpage there is a compatiblity list given. So, currently no stable realase exists for the newest osg stable release, but this will change in the next days ;) Thank you!

I, for one, would not expect any version of osgPPU to be compatible with OSG 2.8.3 other than the same version of osgPPU that was compatible with 2.8.2. I think users should be able to use the same version of osgPPU and simply upgrade OSG from 2.8.2 to 2.8.3 to get the new plugins in 2.8.3. (But they will probably need to rebuild osgPPU because 2.8.3 is not binary compatible with 2.8.2.) But, ok, never mind, I will try to come up now with a solution to have the best of both worlds, new features and compatible API to the official stable release. If you want to maintain compatibility with 2.8.x on osgPPU svn trunk, then that is certainly possible, and a worthy goal, but (in my opinion) it is entirely optional and not required for you to do so, because you already have a tagged osgPPU release that is compatible with OSG 2.8.x. -- -Paul Martz Skew Matrix Software http://www.skew-matrix.com/ ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
