When colladadom became a static library, the viewer actually lost a link-time dependency on pcre. It's still in the link, a dependency may come back should the colladadom compilation units that reference it be used in the future. But right now, this is a non-problem. If actual problems can be demonstrated on a supported platform, a library downgrade is one of the solutions available. Haven't needed to do that yet. -- Monty Brandenberg | Unit of Production Skype monty.linden | Second Life Monty Linden Linden Lab | Makers of Shared Creative Spaces Check out what we're working on! _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
