Section 1. How to build the osgQt

The osgQt uses the CMake build system to generate a platform-specific build environment. CMake reads the CMakeLists.txt files that you'll find throughout the osgQt directories, checks for installed dependenciesand then generates the appropriate build system.

If you don't already have CMake installed on your system you can grab it from http://www.cmake.org, use version 2.4.6 or later. Details on the OpenSceneGraph's CMake build can be found at:

http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Build/CMake

NOTE: You must have at least OpenSceneGraph 3.5.6 installed in your system to build osgQt.

You build osgQt with cmake -DBUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= .
