+ Get the code
+
+    Using Subversion:
+        svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/speed-dreams/code/trunk/packaging/3rdParty-devel C:\src\3rdParty-devel
+
+    If you already have the speed-dreams code:
+        copy <Path-to sd-code>\packaging\3rdParty-devel\*.* C:\src\3rdParty-devel

+    Important - Keep the path short ie: C:\src\3rdParty-devel
+    The building of OpenSceneGraph with CMake's ExternalProject_Add creates quite a deep tree and the build may fail.

+    Make a directory under the source directory (C:\src\3rdParty-devel)
+        mkdir build-vs2015-release
+    
+    Change to the new directory:
+        cd build-vs2015-release

+    Generate the build system:
+        cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" .. -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -A Win32
+
+    Build the package:
+        cmake --build . --target PACKAGE --config Release

+ Note:
+   To build with VS2019 on Windows 7 or 8x, you may need to add -D CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0 to the command line:
+         cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" .. -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0 -A Win32
