<h2>
<a NAME="Scene graph dependencies"></a><u>Scene graph dependencies</u></h2>
<p>The OpenSceneGraph is composed of core scene graph libraries, plugins libraries and demo programs. The core scene
graph libraries (osg, osgDB, osgUtil) are only dependant upon OpenGL and Standard C++ so should compile straight out of
the box on most systems. To run the demos one will also need to compile osgGLUT which adds the dependancy of GLUT, 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 dependancies listed below, some have no dependancies 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 reqiured
dependencies.

<h3>
<a NAME="Windows dependency arhives"></a><u>Windows dependency archives</u></h3>
<p>To make life easier for Windows users, we have put together a .zip archives with all the required dependancies
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: . .

<a NAME="Plug-in dependencies"></a><u>Plug-in dependencies</u></h3>
<p>
Follows is the list of depedencies 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 depedancies 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.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
src/osgPlugins/pfb</li>
<br>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 :

<br><li>src/osgPlugins/png</li>
<br>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:

<br><li>src/osgPlugins/gif</li>
<br>The gif plugin depends upon the libungif library, if you don't already
have it installed, you'll need to download, compile and install it. Project

<br><li>src/osgPlugins/jpeg</li>
<br>The jpeg plugin depends upon the libjpeg library, if you don't already
have it installed, you'll need to download, compile and install it. Project

<br><li>src/osgPlugins/zip</li>
<br>The zip compressed archive plugin depends upon the unzip executable
being available on your system. If it is not then you'll be able
to find binaries at:
