Also remember certain 3rd party libs licenses may prohibit static linking..

DYNAMIC_OPENSCENEGRAPH is the one you're looking for I think. And I believe most users use dynamic libraries for OSG because frankly, it would give a huge executable. I personally prefer to have OSG installed in a general place on my system and refer to it with environment variables in my own projects. That way I have only one copy of it, and also I can update OSG from SVN and then the updated version is available to all my projects at once. At work we have OSG in CVS alongside our projects, so we refer to it with relative paths ("..\..\OSG\lib.rel\win32-vc8\osg.lib") in our projects. That also works well. There's also the issue of plugins: in the past linking OSG statically would not pick up plugins and then you'd have problems loading files from your program. I think that was fixed, but I can't remember the specifics. The archives will know more, my memory is not what it once was. All in all, it's a path less traveled for sure, but it should work or if it doesn't, it should be made to work. So try it, and please send back any fixes you need to make for it to work. Good luck, J-S -- ______________________________________________________ Jean-Sebastien Guay [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cm-labs.com/ http://whitestar02.webhop.org/ _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
