Have you compiled new OSG version 3.0.1 with MinGW ? do you have binariers ?
Laurence Muller
Havent tried it yet, but I think the procedure should be the same.
Guillaume
I archieve the tutorial.
Mingw is working well (I succeed to compile a program using windows cmd.exe). I
created a new project (with the c language instead of c++) , toolchain showed
Mingw gcc. But when i tried to run (ctrl F11) a error message appeared : Launch
Fail Binary not Found.
Laurence Muller
Can you check with windows explorer if the binary is created properly?
Maybe eclipse uses the wrong path when trying to launch the executable.
Adriaan
I had the same, I did a few things and then I didnt get the error anymore.
1) closed all other projects: right-mouse on this project and select Close
Unrelated Projects. Not sure if this ones relevant but I had a number of
Java projects opened so who knows
2) Project>> Clean >> clean all
3) Project>> Build All
That fixed Guillames error (which I was having too). I do think that theres
still something not going 100% right. This is the output in the Console now:

**** Internal Builder is used for build ****
Nothing to build for hellocplusplus
Any ideas?
Laurence Muller
Ive updated the guide, seems like it doesnt autobuild the binary.
Just select your project on the left side, rightclick it and hit build
project. That will give you a working binary.
Matt
I also had this problem. To fix, I reinstalled mingw and chose the option to
download the latest builds during the install and installed the optional things
with mingw console.
Michel
I download the mingw-installer, it only offers to me 32 bit settings, I searched
about a 64 bit version of mingw, but it doesnt come with a setup , can you give
some reference about how can i install and configure mingw-64 for
OpenSceneGraph and sugest a good IDE for work?
Laurence Muller
Hi Michel, unfortunately I havent tried out the 64bit version of MinGW so
Im not sure if it will work well with OpenSceneGraph. For the IDE, Id try to
use the latest 64 bit Eclipse with the C/C++ plugin.
