[osg-users] MSVS2015 3rdparty build

[Carl-Gustaf Kung]

Hi,

In a true necromancer fashion I would like to resurrect this thread, since I need some help with Björn's scripts. 

I managed to compile OSG from scratch, inclusive all 3rd party libraries. I have used VS2015, a x64 build, and all 3rd party libs are also compiled by me as 64-bit shared libraries. I have generally followed build instructions and methods as much as possible as provided by the respective library. In some cases I have cooked my own (giflib notably, zlib). Curl was really picky to get a dll with OpenSSL. 

Anyway, I did stumbled upon Björn's CMake files, but I couldn't got them to work. I am not sure if I have got it right? I am suppose to downolad 3rd party sources and place your cmake files in respective folder? I have tried that, but it didn't worked for me. It was 2 days ago I tryed it, so I don't remember the errors I got. 

I would like to be able to use Björn's cmakes, since it took me quite while to figure out each one library and build method on it's own. Havin'g those makefiles would also make it possible for me to write a batch file to update and build things automatically instead of me doing each and every manually.

I'm quite sure I just qoofed it up somewhere and I would be really helpful for help.

I also wonder if somebody has compiled Collada 2.4, with vs2015 for 64 bit arch, I am a bit stuck with it.

Best regards & thank you!
