IMPORTANT NOTE: Whilst the OSG will compile cleanly with the basic VC++6.0 and its own STL implementation, the OSG will crash regularily due to bugs in VC++6.0's STL. VC++6.0's STL is horribly broken and therefore is *NOT* supported. Do not attempt to use the OSG in conjunction with native VC++6.0 STL implemention. The supported combinations are: 1.Visual Studio7.0 .NET 2.Visual Studio6.0 + Dinkumware's STL bug fix patches 3.Visual Studio6.0 + STLport For details on how to patch VisualStudio6.0 read the doc/install.html documentation. Several of the plugins and demoes, and two of the core libraries - osgText and osgGLUT require external dependancies. Full details on where to obtain these can be found in doc/dependancies.html.
