### Introduction
Welcome to the OpenSceneGraph (OSG).
For up-to-date information on the project, in-depth details on how to
compile and run libraries and examples, see the documentation on the
OpenSceneGraph website:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/documentation
For support subscribe to our public mailing list or forum, details at:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/support
For the impatient, we've included quick build instructions below, these
are are broken down is three parts:
1) General notes on building the OpenSceneGraph
2) OSX release notes

### Section 1. How to build the OpenSceneGraph
The OpenSceneGraph uses the CMake build system to generate a
platform-specific build environment. CMake reads the CMakeLists.txt
files that you'll find throughout the OpenSceneGraph directories,
checks for installed dependenciesand then generates the appropriate
build system.
If you don't already have CMake installed on your system you can grab
it from http://www.cmake.org, use version 2.8.0 or later. Details on the
OpenSceneGraph's CMake build can be found at:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Build/CMake
Under unices (i.e. Linux, IRIX, Solaris, Free-BSD, HP-Ux, AIX, OSX)
use the cmake or ccmake command-line utils. Note that cmake . defaults
to building Release to ensure that you get the best performance from
your final libraries/applications.
cd OpenSceneGraph
cmake .
make
sudo make install
Alternatively, you can create an out-of-source build directory and run
cmake or ccmake from there. The advantage to this approach is that the
temporary files created by CMake won't clutter the OpenSceneGraph
source directory, and also makes it possible to have multiple
independent build targets by creating multiple build directories. In a
directory alongside the OpenSceneGraph use:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../OpenSceneGraph
make
sudo make install
Under Windows use the GUI tool CMakeSetup to build your VisualStudio
files. The following page on our wiki dedicated to the CMake build
system should help guide you through the process:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/documentation/platform-specifics/windows
Under OSX you can either use the CMake build system above, or use the
Xcode projects that you will find in the OpenSceneGraph/Xcode
directory. See release notes on OSX CMake build below.
For further details on compilation, installation and platform-specific
information read "Getting Started" guide:

### Section 2. Release notes on OSX build, by Eric Sokolowsky, August 5, 2008
There are several ways to compile OpenSceneGraph under OSX. The
recommended way is to use CMake 2.6 to generate Xcode projects, then use
Xcode to build the library. The default project will be able to build
Debug or Release libraries, examples, and sample applications. Here are
some key settings to consider when using CMake:
BUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES - By default this is turned off. Turn this setting on
to compile many great example programs.
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES - Xcode can create applications, executables,
libraries, and frameworks that can be run on more than one architecture.
Use this setting to indicate the architectures on which to build OSG.
Possibilities include ppc, ppc64, i386, and x86_64. Building OSG using
either of the 64-bit options (ppc64 and x86_64) has its own caveats
below.
OSG_BUILD_APPLICATION_BUNDLES - Normally only executable binaries are
created for the examples and sample applications. Turn this option on if
you want to create real OSX .app bundles. There are caveats to creating
.app bundles, see below.
OSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM - You have the choice to use Carbon or X11 when
building applications on OSX. Under Leopard and later, X11 applications,
when started, will automatically launch X11 when needed. However,
full-screen X11 applications will still show the menu bar at the top of
the screen. Since many parts of the Carbon user interface are not
64-bit, X11 is the only supported option for OSX applications compiled
for ppc64 or x86_64.
There is an Xcode directory in the base of the OSG software
distribution, but its future is limited, and will be discontinued once
the CMake project generator completely implements its functionality.
APPLICATION BUNDLES (.app bundles)
The example programs when built as application bundles only contain the
executable file. They do not contain the dependent libraries as would a
normal bundle, so they are not generally portable to other machines.
They also do not know where to find plugins. An environmental variable
OSG_LIBRARY_PATH may be set to point to the location where the plugin
.so files are located. OSG_FILE_PATH may be set to point to the location
where data files are located. Setting OSG_FILE_PATH to the
OpenSceneGraph-Data directory is very useful when testing OSG by running
the example programs.
Many of the example programs use command-line arguments. When
double-clicking on an application (or using the equivalent "open"
command on the command line) only those examples and applications that
do not require command-line arguments will successfully run. The
executable file within the .app bundle can be run from the command-line
if command-line arguments are needed.
64-BIT APPLICATION SUPPORT
OpenSceneGraph will not compile successfully when OSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM is
Carbon and either x86_64 or ppc64 is selected under CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES,
as Carbon is a 32bit only API. A version of the osgviewer library written in
Cocoa is needed. However, OSG may be compiled under 64-bits if the X11
windowing system is selected. However, Two parts of the OSG default
distribution will not work with 64-bit X11: the osgviewerWX example
program and the osgdb_qt (Quicktime) plugin. These must be removed from
the Xcode project after Cmake generates it in order to compile with
64-bit architectures. The lack of the latter means that images such as
jpeg, tiff, png, and gif will not work, nor will animations dependent on
Quicktime. A new ImageIO-based plugin is being developed to handle the
still images, and a QTKit plugin will need to be developed to handle
animations.
### Section 3. Release notes on iOS build, by Thomas Hogarth
With CMake, XCode and the iOS sdk installed you can generate an iOS XCode
project using the following command line
export THIRDPARTY_PATH=/path/to/my/3rdParty
cmake ./ -G Xcode -DOSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_IPHONE:BOOL=ON \
-DIPHONE_SDKVER="10.2" \
-DIPHONE_VERSION_MIN="8.0" \
-DOPENGL_PROFILE:STRING=GLES2 \
-DBUILD_OSG_APPLICATIONS:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON \
-DOSG_WINDOWING_SYSTEM:STRING=IOS \
-DOSG_DEFAULT_IMAGE_PLUGIN_FOR_OSX="imageio" \
-DDYNAMIC_OPENSCENEGRAPH:BOOL=OFF \
-DDYNAMIC_OPENTHREADS:BOOL=OFF \
-DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/curl-ios-device/include" \
-DCURL_LIBRARY:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/curl-ios-device/lib/libcurl.a" \
-DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_freetype2:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/freetype-ios-universal/include/freetype" \
-DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/freetype-ios-universal/include" \
-DFREETYPE_LIBRARY:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/freetype-ios-universal/lib/libFreeType_iphone_universal.a" \
-DTIFF_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/tiff-ios-device/include" \
-DTIFF_LIBRARY:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/tiff-ios-device/lib/libtiff.a" \
-DGDAL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/gdal-ios-device/include" \
-DGDAL_LIBRARY:PATH="$THIRDPARTY_PATH/gdal-ios-device/lib/libgdal.a"
Be sure to set the THIRDPARTY_PATH to the path containing your thirdparty
dependancies. Set IPHONE_SDKVER to the version of the iOS sdk you have
installed, in this instance 10.2. IPHONE_VERSION_MIN controls the base sdk
used by xcode, and lastly set OPENGL_PROFILE to the version of GLES you want
to use.
Once this completes an XCode project will have been generated in the osg root
folder. Open the generated Xcode project, select the example_osgViewerIPhone
target. In 'General' tab set a development team. In the 'Build Settings' tab
search for 'Other Linker Flags', then for each target type (debug, release etc)
that you want to use open the list of arguments and delete the 'OpenGL' line
and the '-framework' line above it. This is because cmake has tried to add the
desktop OpenGL library which we don't want.
Once this is done you should be able to build and deploy the example_osgViewerIPhone
target on your device.
