Re: [osg-users] osgViewer crash loading textures under Windows Vista

2009-11-02 Thread Erik den Dekker
Just a hunch, but maybe some dependencies (DLLs) are missing, like for  
instance the visual studio 2005 SP1 redistributables,… Have you  
checked your executable (and separately the OSG plugins, since they  
are loaded dynamically) with the Microsoft Dependency Walker? See, http://www.dependencywalker.com


Cheers,

Erik den Dekker

there any known gotchas running OSG compiled under XP in Vista?


I'm tempted to just tell the customer to go back to running our app  
under XP but I'm sure this unfortunately won't be the last time we  
end up having to support a deployment on Vista.


Any help or experiences much appreciated.

  I run OSG apps on Vista all the time. I compile them on Vista too, but I have 
also run
older XP-compiled apps just fine.

  #1 issue: Check and update your display drivers before doing anything else, 
and if it
still doesn't work, report what make/model and driver revision your dealing 
with. There
are some crap drivers out there.

Re: [osg-users] osgViewer crash loading textures under Windows Vista

2009-11-02 Thread Jakob Ruhe
Instead of installing Visual Studio on the client computer you can
download and install the right vcredist package from Microsoft. The
one I think you need right now is:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=enFamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647

On what format are the textures? The PNG plugin (osgdb_png) needs
libpng dll to be included, the TIFF plugin (osg_tiff) needs zlib dll
just to give you an example of files you also need.

As Erik den Dekker wrote, the dependency walker is a really good tool
to solve problems of this kind. Another way to get help is by starting
your application from the command prompt and set the OSG_NOTIFY_LEVEL
environmentvariable to DEBUG before.

I hope it helps. Good luck!
