<p>Hi list.</p>
<p>I am not such an expert in CMake to say it for sure. In fact, I
basically only know how to use it. Never did a sophisticated
script myself. But it looks to me that some CMakeLists.txt in OSG
v3.4.1 has a problem when building for MSVC in debug (and in my
particular case in 64 bit but I think this is not relevant). In
short, it "fails" when installing with this command</p>
<pre id="out" class="console-output"><pre> cmake --build . --target install --config Debug -- /p:Platform=x64 /m:8</pre></pre>
<p>And the problem is that the installation script looks for pdb
files of OSG applications (e.g. osgviewerd.exe and whatnot) which
are not created. This happens after all the usable files have been
installed. So one could disregard this error value returned. After
all, what it is partially installed seems to be usable. But if you
are building OSG in an automated fashion this flags the build as
failed and it stops all the build system.</p>
<p>However if the solution files are generated with the
-DBUILD_OSG_APPLICATIONS=no parameter, the build and installation
works smoothly (though of course you won't have the applications
built but maybe that is ok for some).</p>
<p>So, the solution here seems to be that either the .pdb files are
created for the applications too, or the install target for the
applications doesn't try to install them. What happens now (in my
machines at least) is exactly the opposite. Applications don't
generate the .pdb files and the install script is trying to
install them.</p>
<p>As I said before, I am not that cmake-skilled to spot where the
problem is within all the scripts and provide a solution. But it
would be nice if someone could.<br>
</p>
Thanks.
