VR-Vantage libraries are organized by dependencies.
VR-Vantage uses strict naming conventions to indicate the dependency of the library. For example, vrvVrl is the VR-Link protocol-independent simulation library. It provides simulation-specific, but protocol-independent classes. The vrvVrlQt library provides simulation-specific, protocol-independent GUI classes. The vrvVrlQt library depends on vrvVrl. If you are developing an application that uses these classes and uses Qt, you can use both vrvVrl and vrvVrlQt libraries. The plug-in libraries are very small libraries, typically having one or two functions with C language symbols. The plug-in libraries allow for runtime loading and initialization of VR-Vantage libraries. The VR-Vantage applications are built using all VR-Vantage libraries as plug-ins, for maximum flexibility and extensibility. For example, vrvOsgPlugin is the plug-in that loads the vrvOsg library.

Third Party Libraries
This section lists third party libraries used by VR-Vantage. See VR-Vantage Release Notes for a list of the release being used for your version of VR-Vantage.
Boost
Boost libraries all support auto-linking and do not need to be explicitly linked. However, to ensure that you are linking with shared libraries rather than static libraries, you must use macros. For example BOOST_SERIALIZATION_DYN_LINK=1 forces dynamic object linking of the serialization library.
