[osg-users] running vrml plugin on 2.0

[Jean-Sébastien Guay]

Hello Bryan,

I thought your VRML plugin was building correctly? At least in your  
previous message you said the plugin built without errors... This  
seems not to be the case, since the error you get when building the  
INSTALL target is that it can't find the compiled VRML plugin.

Once your VRML plugin compiles, the INSTALL target should copy all the  
files to the correct locations, and you should be able to start  
osgviewer and see something. :-)

Here's the relevant part of that message:

But can I assume that since you're asking, it means that those libs  
were not added by default? I never had to add those manually... So  
maybe delete your build\CMakeCache.txt file and re-do the CMake  
configuration, to see if they are being added correctly or not.

Good luck,
