[osg-users] [osg-submissions] API configurations in aseparateConfig include file

[James Killian]

We are going to move to VS 9,  we have been wanting to do that for a long 
time now.   Aside from osg not building, I overlooked the OpenMP option 
available to VS 8 and 9.  We want high performance from osg so, *hopefully 
OpenMP will help.  I am going to start a thread on performance here real 
soon for anyone interested.

Perhaps there should be plans to ditch 7.1 if no one is using it now.

Thanks for explaining the install... I was right clicking on ALL_BUILD and 
then INSTALL, but I suppose I could just do INSTALL, if it breaks it will 
not start copying.

*OpenMP has not been easy/intuitive to use with unpredictable performance 
results.
