[osg-users] Compling STATIC version of OSG, - using static plugins?

[dtidev at aol.com]

Here is the .dll / library/ plugin problem I have not been able to solve.
Trying both Visual Studio 2005 & ?Visual Studio 2008, I compile osg as for dynamic compile, Debug settings.

When I try to run the planet demo - I get a command line message:
"Could not find plugin to read objects from Images/land_shallow_topo_2048.jpg"

In debugging down to the LoadLibrary() method that attempts to load the jpeg plugin, it returns win api error code 14001.

In cross reference the system logs, I get the following System error logs:


Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system



Generate Activation Context failed for C:\OpenSceneGraph\BUILD\bin\osgplugins-2.4.0\osgdb_jpegd.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfull

---------


The VC80 stuff is installed on my machine with the VS2005.

After 40 hours of attempts, I am at a total loss on how to get the plugins to load the libraries successfully in DEBUG mode.


Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Curt

Please be sure to read Microsoft's license for their redistributable
libraries.   You are not permitted to redistribute their debug runtime
libraries (which is exactly why I do not include them in the 3rdParty
binaries)

That said, I'm not clear why you believe distributing those libs might
be necessary.

Do you know for a fact that OSG is looking for a dynamic version of
the plugin, or is your static plugin looking for a dynamic version of
the underlying JPEG library?

Not being involved w/ static builds that much, my hunch is you'll have
to build your 3rdParty binaries such that they all produce only static
libraries.
