latest OSG source code with Visual Studio 2010 express, without
setting too many options and without facing unexpected errors. But at
present, the compilation process will fail because the INSTALL project
'cannot find' generated DLLs while copying files. I have looked into
the build directory and found that the places of generated file
folders were just different from previous VS versions. In this case,
the old hack in OsgMacroUtils.cmake may become invalid:
MACRO(HANDLE_MSVC_DLL)
#this is a hack... the build place is set to lib/<debug or
release> by LIBARARY_OUTPUT_PATH equal to OUTPUT_LIBDIR
#the .lib will be crated in ../ so going straight in lib by
the IMPORT_PREFIX property
#because we want dll placed in OUTPUT_BINDIR ie the bin folder
sibling of lib, we can use ../../bin to go there,
...
ELSE(NOT MSVC_IDE)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${LIB_NAME} PROPERTIES PREFIX
"../../bin/${LIB_PREFIX}${LIB_SOVERSION}-" IMPORT_PREFIX "../")
ENDIF(NOT MSVC_IDE)
ENDMACRO(HANDLE_MSVC_DLL)
Here the prefix "../../bin" may need to be fixed. I just modified it to:
IF(MSVC_VERSION LESS 1600)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${LIB_NAME} PROPERTIES PREFIX
"../../bin/${LIB_PREFIX}${LIB_SOVERSION}-" IMPORT_PREFIX "../")
ENDIF()
It should keep compatible with old MSVC versions. There are similar
fixes in the SETUP_PLUGIN and SETUP_EXE macros. I haven't tested them
on more platforms.
