Re: [osg-users] Has something changed regarding some of the plugin builds (the net plugin in particular) that might affect a Cygwin/Windows build

2008-08-12 Thread Robert Osfield 
HI Brian,

Good to hear things moving forward with Cygwin stability.

As JS mentioned the net plugin has been deprecated, and just before
2.6 was moved out into the deprecated section of the OSG svn
repository, alongside the original OpenFlight plugin, this means that
the .net plugin isn't part of 2.6 nor svn trunk.

Could you try OSG-2.6 out and see how you get on.

Robert.

 I have good news as far as Cygwin and OSG.  Cygwin has been doing a lot
 of work on max file name lengths and the like and with a recent cvs
 update of Cygwin and a recent svn of OSG it appears the hangs at the
 termination of some of the examples has gone away.  They appear to be
 closing normally now.  I am not sure what else has changed but I had
 read some on Cygwin and socket use and found an article on their forums
 about mixing Windows winsock libs with Cygwin sockets which attempt to
 emulate unix sockets I believe and I will say right here I do not
 understand a lot about sockets but was beginning to wonder from what I
 read if this might be an issue.  Actually I do believe that whether it
 be sockets or something else I do believe it may be that the hangs were
 related to something being mixed from the Windows world vs the Unix
 world since Cygwin sort of lives in both.

 That said I had commented the line in CMakeLists.txt that set
 OSG_SOCKET_LIB (wsock32)  and that was when I realized that the
 examples were terminating normally and I realized that libs like the
 net plugin had not been built and the line I commented is even
 mentioned in CMakeLists.txt in relation to the net plugin so I assumed
 they were related.  So to test a theory it was socket problem I put the
 line back and rebuilt - still no hang - examples terminate normal and
 still no net plugin - plus others.  So now I wonder if something else
 change in OSG that would keep these from building or what setting(s)
 might have something to do with why they would not build.

 Sometimes I can't leave well enough alone - can't be glad it is fixed
 now I have to know how to break it again or what might have fixed it
 permanent.

I have been working from the current svn's and did not have curl 
installed on Cygwin but do now.  Haven't had a chance to compare what 
plugins should be building vs what is but program that were hanging are 
now completing normal.  Just have to work out a few debug vs release 
issues (at least in my mind issues) as far as when it uses the 
DEBUG_POSTFIX and when it shouldn't.

I believe the net plugin has been deprecated in favor of the curl 
plugin. Correct me if I'm wrong.


If you have libcurl, then you might just have built a curl plugin. In 
that case, try to load a file from the net 
(http://example.com/whatever.osg) and see if that works.


Other than that, I don't know, since I don't use cygwin myself. What 
other plugins are missing?
