BUILD DEPENDENCIES
- COLLADA DOM (document object model) v1.4.1

- libxml2
- iconv
A standard "ccmake ." while in the root of the OSG source will expose
two CMake variables: COLLADA_INCLUDE_DIR and COLLADA_LIBRARY. Using
these two variables correctly can be a bit tricky (especially as
the "right" and "wrong" ways to use Collada are hard to define), but
I will briefly explain them below.
COLLADA_INCLUDE_DIR: This variable wants the path where it can
find the COLLADA headers. On most systems this will be something
like /usr/include or /usr/include/collada.
COLLADA_LIBRARY: This variable is asking for the FULL PATH to the
file libcollada_dom.a. As long as it can find this file, the
OSG Collada ReaderWriter should build just fine.
