Scene graph dependencies
+ The OpenSceneGraph is composed of core scene graph libraries, plugins libraries + and demo programs. The core scene graph libraries (osg, osgDB, osgUtil, +osgText, osgParticle, osgSim) are only dependent upon OpenGL and Standard +C++ so should compile straight out of the box on most systems. To run the +examples one will also need to compile osgProducer which adds the dependency +of Producer, and if true type text is required then the freetype library +will be required. The plugins which are used to read and write various file +formats have their own sets of dependencies listed below, some have no dependencies +at all. A plugin is only needed if you need to load that specific file format, +so it is not critical if you don't have all the required dependencies.+ +
+
Windows dependency archives
+ To make life easier for Windows users, we have put together a .zip archives + with all the required dependencies which can be download and installed somewhere +in you system. You'll need to set VisualStudio to pick up on the include and +libs, and the PATH set to pick up in the dll's. Alternatively, a more hacky +but simpler solution is to unpack this archive inside you OpenSceneGraph distribution, +so that all the include files drop into OpenSceneGraph/include, and the +libs drop into OpenSceneGraph/lib, and all the dll's drop into OpenSceneGraph/bin, +this way VisualStudio will pick up the files simpler through the paths set +up inside the workspace and project files. The archives can be downloaded +here: . . +-

Plug-in dependencies
- Follows is the list of dependencies which some of the osgPlugins require, -note the core osg and viewer do not need the following dependencies, you only -need the following if you require each specific plugin. Note, the flt, 3ds, -pic, tga, do not have any dependencies other than Standard C++ so will compile -straight of the bag. Under Linux the majority of the dependencies below come -as standard with distributions so you may not need to download them at all. -Its best to try out a straight compile of the osg, if you get missing includes/libs -errors then chase up the below.- -

-There is a Performer plugin in this distribution for converting from Performer -to OSG and from OSG to Performer. This plugin requires Performer to be installed -and therefore is not compiled by default. If you have Performer (available -under Linux and IRIX) then edit src/osgPlugins/Make to compile under the -plugin. Performer can be downloaded from : - -

-The png plugin depends upon the libpng and zlib (for compression) libraries, -if you don't already have it installed, you'll need to download, compile and -install it. Project home pages are: - -
