It should compile fine under Linux.

Have you tried using the Makefile?

Thankyou for your quick reply,

I was not aware there was a make file in the release, will try that now

Cheers Ivan

Hello Erwin,

It does not build out of the box with the make file.

On my end it would require further R&D time to investigate, any chance you could
compile it under linux for me ?

I specifically want to try the maya plugin,as i would like to run a few tests 
in Maya
9 running under centos.

cheers Ivan

Before starting to look further into this, can you copy/paste the errors of the 
output when running make, in the Bullet/Extras/MayaPlugin folder?

Thanks,
Erwin

You seem to be running a very old version of autotools. Could you upgrade to a 
recent 
version?

autotools/jam support will be dropped in favor of cmake. Hopefully we get 
around creating a cmake project for 
the Maya plugin

Hi,

I read the online manual which says to run cmake . -G "Unix Makefiles" which I 
ran
off the untar'd location of bullet-2.75.

All seemed to go well but when I run autogen.sh I get the same errors as 
ivanlaros.

In the INSTALL file, it just says to run cmake, make, then make install.  So I
started over, ran cmake . -G "Unix Malefiles", then make and make install w/o 
going
into the Extras dir.

I also tried going into the Extras dir after running cmake, so that I can run 
make
and get these errors;

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lBulletMultiThreaded
collect2: ;d returned 1 exit status
...

No luck so far.

How should I run it to install on Linux?

Thanks in advance,
- aurf

As I mentioned before, there is no cmake support for the Maya plugin yet. 

One solution is to search where cmake leaves the libraries and manually fix the 
Makefile to point to those libraries.

There have been some attempts to fix autotools support, but no luck yet:

By the way, do the Bullet SDK and demos build and run fine, when using cmake 
under 
Linux?

Hi,

I'm actually unsure how far the build got as I'm a bit of a tard with all this.

How can I get that info to you?

I'll mod the Makefile and get back to you.

Hi,

What libraries would I search for that cmake made so I can mod the Makefile?

Original comment by aurfal...@gmail.com on 3 Dec 2009 at 5:54

[GoogleCodeExporter]

cmake generates the libraries in <relative_library_folder>/Debug and 
<relative_library_folder>/release

src/LinearMath/Debug/libLinearMath.a
src/BulletCollision/Debug/libBulletCollision.a
src/BulletDynamics/Debug/libBulletDynamics.a

Note that is it possible to build out-of-source tree using cmake, so above path 
are 
relative to where you run cmake.

if autotools doesn't work, cmake will
