[osg-users] [build] Link Problems Arise After CMAKE (despite not changing much in CMAKE)

[Dave Sargrad]

Hi,

The build problem I have happens to me quite frequently. In this particular case, I returned to CMAKE to turn on doxygen documentation. I regenerated, the solution (no other changes were made in CMAKE), and then rebuilt the solution. I saw the following errors arise. I shutdown windows to make sure that I didnt have a folder open that would prevent writing a file. I also rebooted (hoping that would help).  This has happened to me in the past, and each time I delete my build/install directories, and do a clean build from scratch, and then all is fine.


Code:
>------ Build started: Project: osgManipulator, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
9>------ Build started: Project: osgUI, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
7>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\..\..\lib\osgShadowd.lib'

Do you have a suggestion relative to what I might look for to solve this? I hate having to rebuild the entire solution on a clean slate when this occurs.


Thank you in advance!

Cheers,
Dave
