[osg-users] How to actually play animation in osgt file

[Julien Valentin]

okay you're really new to c++:
use cmake-gui to check OSG_BUILD_EXAMPLES check box
make example_osganimationviewer
next time try to find yourself: this kind of thing is not osg related...
Cheers

Is there anything special I have to do to get them to build? (I don't know much about cmake, and am therefore hesitant to manually edit the cmakelists files.)
