[newton.mod] Win32/Linux linking & MAV issues. #1

Reported by @markcwm here.

Need to check over Makefiles for Win32, MacOS, & Linux to make sure source.bmx is importing all the required C files.

Thanks. I updated source.bmx again to look in pthreads.2 on Win only, as I got errors when I tried it on Linux.

I really don't think there's anything wrong with source.bmx as your original source ran on Mac, so I think it must be something wrong in the CC_OPTS flags.

Edit: Oh yes, I forgot to say I tested NewtonCreate() on Linux and it segfaulted there. I then ran gdb on it and got very little info. I did find a post where someone had a similar segfault on Linux and they fixed it by using the dynamic library.

Well I found that Brucey is working on a wrapper for Newton too! Which is cool. It's on Git in bmx-ng/b3d.mod. So I built it but it also segfaults on Linux (32 bit). So now I'm at the point where a dynamic library version would be just fine thank you, as long as it works. I suspect it is a threading issue but this is just an uneducated guess - when I used gdb the only info I got was about the threading library version.

I tried building threaded versions and then using Lock/Unlock Mutex which fixed the segfault but when I tried another command CreateBody, it segfaulted and I couldn't fix that.

Gotta get some expert advise!
