Missing Controls file in version 3.7

[Warren-Whitfield]

I'm was using version 3.1.0 from vcpkg. I've now updated vcpkg and it seems to be using version 3.7.
In my code I've included osgEarth/Controls, but that file is missing now. What has happend to it?

You need to enable the CMake option OSGEARTH_BUILD_LEGACY_CONTROLS_API to get it.
Look in vcpkg/ports/osgearth/portfile.cmake -- you can set it in the vcpkg_cmake_configure command.

Ok, and then obviously re-install in vcpkg?

[gwaldron]

Right.
Or if you are using a vcpkg manifest in your own project, it should (might?) rebuild automatically.

OMG, there goes 2 hours 😆

I have discovered a similar issue with the class MouseCoordsControlFactory. In your ExampleResources file, there is an #if 0 section that the class (and others) are now in. How do I get these to be available again?

[gwaldron]

We do not support the old Controls stuff any more, so if you still want to use it it's up to you to integrate it into your app.
In short, you would:

• create a LabelControl
• create a MouseCoordsTool with your LabelControl and add it to to your View as an event handler.

Ok, cool, I'll do that.
So another issue as part of the upgrade to 3.7.1, I get these compiler errors now. Any thoughts please?

[gwaldron]

You can just delete those.
(These used to be plugins and the USE_OSGEARTH_LAYER macro is for incorporating them into a static build.)
