filesystem is case-sensitive. Here are the modifications needed to make
the compiler happy. These are only some include lines rewritten (Io.h to
io.h, Windows.h to windows.h etc.) for version 2.3.7."
src/osgDB/FileUtils.cpp to implement the official Windows DLL search
order as described on the page
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx . As mentioned,
the search order is now:
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The system directory. (C:\Windows\System32 by default, gotten using the
GetSystemDirectory function)
3. The 16-bit system directory. (C:\Windows\System by default, gotten by
adding "\System" to the path gotten in the next step...)
4. The Windows directory. (C:\Windows by default, gotten using the
GetWindowsDirectory function)
5. The current directory. (".")
6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable. (as
before)
The first four directories are obtained using Win32 API calls, so they
should work correctly even on non-standard Windows installs.
The changes are well commented and should be clear, even to someone
not familiar with the Win32 API.
I have tested in a few scenarios and it works as expected. Serge Lages
has also tested the changes and confirmed they worked as described. I
have not had any other reports though (positive or negative).
I also fixed the issue with a trailing semicolon on the PATH adding an
empty string to the end of the search paths, as this was an
inconsistent side effect rather than a desirable effect. This change
will take effect on other platforms as well, but since it tests for an
empty string in the last item added to the search paths, it should
have no adverse effect.

according to the OpenSceneGraph/CMakeLists.txt and the include/osg/Version settings.
These changes mean that the 1.9.5 release will have a libs/osgPlugins-1.9.5 directory.
Tweaks by Robert Osfield - Moved methods to FileNameUtils, added unix
implementation of getRealPath add extern and OSGDB_EXPORT to function declarations.
"My patch is a slight refactoring of the mac specific code in
Registry.cpp and FileUtils.cpp, specifically around the library and
resource file path initilialization methods. This patch cleans up a
lot of the mac specific code by moving repeated code into separate
local functions in FileUtils.cpp that are only compiled on mac builds.
It also adds one function to the API,
appendPlatformSpecificResourceFilePaths in FileUtils. This function
will mirror the already existing
appendPlatformSpecificLibraryFilePaths except for resource file paths.
Currently this function is empty except when built on the mac, in
which case it will add the application bundle's internal Resources
folder and the bundle's parent folder. Previously this code was
implemented as a separate mac specific #ifdef block in Registry.cpp
around the initDataFilePathList method. However, it now is implemented
in appendPlatformSpecificResourceFilePaths in FileUtils.cpp and the
initDataFilePathList method is now the same on all platforms. This
patch should behave the same as before on non-mac platforms.
This patch already includes the fix that Eric mentioned earlier. This
patch is based off of the 0.99 release code. I have tested this patch
using the following testing scheme:
Make a proper bundled application.
While Run from the Finder:
Test that it finds plugins in its internal plugins path.
Test that it finds resources in its internal resources path.
Test that it finds resources in the bundle's parent directory
Test that it finds plugins in the user's Application Support Directory
Test that it finds plugins in the system's Application Support Directory
Test that it finds plugins in the Network Application Support Directory
Check the plugin and resource path lists after they have been
initialized to see if they are in the correct order
While Run from the command line (both from it's parent directory and
from inside the /Contents/MacOS directory) and repeat the above tests.
Check that it also finds plugins and resources within the paths
defined by various environment variables.
Now, Make an application that is NOT bundled/command line only
Test that it does NOT try to look in an internal bundle
plugin/resource directory for plugins or resources.
Test that it finds plugins/resources in the paths defined by the
environment variables.

instead of osgDB::Registry where it original lay. This has been done to allow
fileName strings to be encode data rather than just file names, such as one
requires when using PagedLOD along with plugins for doing dynamic tesselation.
