CamlOSG
What is it?
CamlOSG is
an Objective Caml bindings
for OpenSceneGraph (version 2.x) and
some its nodekits
(namely osgCal). Bindings are not
object-oriented, OSG classes are just OCaml modules with functions
and abstract data types (and downcast functions when needed).
CamlOSG works under Linux and Windows (using MinGW).
Bindings are done by hand (without using of osgIntrospection) and are
fairly incomplete. But it is simple to add the necessary binding. Just
look at the sources for example.
What is done?
You may look into autogenerated CamlOSG documentation to see what bindings are ready and to what extent. On CIA.vc you can see the current work.
How to get it?
You can
download latest release at sourceforge
download area. Or, better, use:
svn co https://camlosg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/camlosg/trunk/camlosg camlosg
to get the latest sources.
Then:
make && sudo make install
After this you get the “camlosg” folder in your OCaml library path plus osg, osgDB, osgGA, osgUtil, osgText, osgCal and osgViewer libraries (.cma & .cmxa).
Use:
ocaml -I +camlosg osg.cma osgDB.cma osgGA.cma osgUtil.cma osgText.cma osgCal.cma osgViewer.cma
to check the bindings.
I have a question.
Just ask it on CamlOSG
mailing list.
