In the OpenSceneGraph/CMakeLists.txt we have:

IF(WIN32)
    CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.4.6 FATAL_ERROR)
ELSE(WIN32)
    IF(APPLE)
        CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.6.0 FATAL_ERROR)
    ELSE(APPLE)
        CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.4.4 FATAL_ERROR)
    ENDIF(APPLE)
ENDIF(WIN32)


Which means 2.4.4 is the minimum, but.. this wasn't written when we
first introduced CMake as a build system for the OSG. Whether we can
set 2.8 as a minimum now is something that is different to know
without having the whole community chip in.  I'll start a separate
thread for this calling for feedback.

I'll have to pass on this as I've got a bucket load of other work to
get on with.
