These sources are provided only as a frozen reference. It is highly recommended you download the latest source, either via SVN/CSV, or tar.gz, depending. To assist in that, use the following links ...

Notes:
(1) The OpenSceneGraph source also include the OpenThreads source, and both are compiled together.
(2) This is only required for OpenAL (sound) library, which uses "dsound.h". The FG display system does NOT use DirectX, but freeglut instead.
(3) Note Vista, and to some extend, XP, natively support 'unzipping', but the interface is VERY rudimentary. I use WinZip, which also has a command line plug-in.

To make things even easier, the following table shows the CVS/SVN commands active at this time, April, 2008. You should always check the main source site for any updates or changes in these. Note some svn commands have /trunk appended to only get the main development branch, and freeglut has /trunk/freeglut/freeglut appended.

OpenSceneGraph svn svn checkout http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/trunk OpenSceneGraph (*)
(*) Note: OpenSceneGraph has many stable releases posted. In fact the last MSVC9 build actually used 2.2.0, and several build components have to be ADJUSTED depending on the actual source used.
zlib tar.gz http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
libpng tar.gz http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5624 (+)
(+) Note libpng uses zlib for compression, thus this site has both available for download. zlib version 1.2.3 (18 July, 2005) has remained stable for several years now, and the latest MSVC9 build using lpng-1.2.26 (12 April, 2008). Other version required changes in the setupfg.bat and perhaps other build components.

With the above clear list of links, there should be really no reason to download any of the following 'frozen' snapshot of the sources. We should always prefer fresh meat, rather than stale, out-of-date stuff ;=)) much better for your health ...

BE WARNED: I, and other like me can NOT support you if you use these moribund sources. We want to spend our time helping those using the current development sources. And even if you find and fix any 'bug', then before you report it you MUST download and check the latest source still has this bug, and any 'diff' should only be against the current source.

If, after all that 'shouting' you still want to download the sources I used then go here ...
