Skybolt How to use?

I have some special issues when install that package. In my case i use vcpkg and Visual studio 2017. So what i do:

Install some libs on vcpkg:

vcpkg install boost:x64-windows
vcpkg install boost:x64-windows-static

Shared vcpkg libs into "CMakeLists.txt":

if(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE)
    include(${CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE})
endif(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE)

Configure project on cmake(gui).exe (add some libs from repo SkyboltDependenciesHeaderOnly)

Found Boost: C:/temp/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/include (found version "1.79.0") found components: log log_setup filesystem thread regex chrono atomic 
Configuring done
Generating done

but have some warning on SkyboltVis:

CMake Warning at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1384 (message):

Summary when i build (F7) (MinimalApi) VS project : LNK2019 Skybolt.Vis what i do wrong? maybe version of boost?

According to this comment the boost warning is caused by using a CMake version that's newer than the boost version. I expect updating CMake should fix the warning.

It's difficult to tell what's causing the seg fault. Are you able to debug it with gdb and post a backtrace (call stack) of the crash?

when upgrade cmake to 3.24.2 boost warning gone, Cmake 3.24.2 (exe) Configurate (osg and boost from vcpkg, all headers from SkyboltDependenciesHeaderOnly) result:

when open Projects and run error still alive. Can you guide me how exactly backtrace with gdb (Didn't work in it)? i try do that with VS 2017 and got this: at last: osg::ref_ptr<osgDB::ReaderWriter> writer = osgDB::Registry::instance()->getReaderWriterForExtension(extension); writer is null.

Exception thrown: Read access violation.
writer.**_ptr** was nullptr. happened

maybe osg has trouble with dependeches?

minimalApi 2 errors(much better :)):

Ignore my comment about gdb, I thought you were on Linux for some reason.

The crash is happening because OsgImageHelpers.cpp is failing to write out a PNG image because the osgDB::ReaderWriter was not found for the PNG file type. Make sure your version of OSG was built with PNG support, provided by the PNG plugin (osgdb_png.dll).

Sep 17 '22 05:09 matthew-reid

I have osgdb_png.dll in vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\tools\osg\osgPlugins-3.6.5 , how set right paths for it?

ok im reinstall ALL of that by conanfile.py on different mashine and catch suggest issue:

Okay, I found something, it looks like USE_OSGPLUGIN(obj) does not find the necessary plugins, it is not yet clear how to add the OSG_LIBRARY_PATH path to conan...

Dec 27 '22 18:12 Chasikanaft

It looks like one of two problems:

Skybolt can't find image files. Please ensure SKYBOLT_ASSETS_PATH environment variable is setup according to README.md
Skybolt can't find OSG plugins. You need to ensure the necessary OSG dlls are available on your system path. Since you built with conan, you can achieve this by running the activate_run script in the Skybolt build folder.

Done, still got warning: No --settingsFile program argument specified. Using default settings file location: '"C:\\Users\\xfire\\AppData\\Local\\Skybolt\\Settings.json"';
activate_run do nothing... catch this on SkyboltVisTest.exe: Error writing file C:\Users\xfire\AppData\Local\Temp\SkyboltTests\testKey_2_1_3.png: write error (Could not find plugin to write image to file "C:\Users\xfire\AppData\Local\Temp\SkyboltTests\testKey_2_1_3.png".)

at this post , got some answer by SE_OSGPLUGIN(obj), but i dont know where exactly add this.

Dec 29 '22 18:12 Chasikanaft

If you're using the shared library version of OSG, the USE_OSGPLUGIN is unnecessary as that only applies to static libraries. Skybolt should already set USE_OSGPLUGIN as needed if building against static OSG libraries.

I'd suggest checking your OSG bin folder to see if it has the required DLLs and plugins folder. Mine looks like this: OsgDlls

The second thing to check is that the OSG bin folder is on your PATH. This should happen automatically when you run the activate_run script.
