If anyone is having problems building the msvc-dll makefile, here's what =
I did to solve it.
I was getting the following error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "lib/ode.dll"
make: *** [lib/ode.lib] Error 1104
I think the main problem is that by default, when you download from cvs =
it doesn't create a /lib folder, so the make fails.=20
Full process below:
Get the latest version of ODE using WinCvs.
'-----wincvs stuff---------'
To retrieve latest CVS snapshot, do the following. (skip this if you use =
command line cvs or don't care)
Download WinCvs if you don't have it already. I'm using version 1.2
Open WinCvs, go to Admin->Preferences
Under CVSRoot enter: anonymous@q12.org:/cvsroot
Authentication: "password" file on the cvs server
Use version: cvs 1.1 (standard)
Click Admin->Login and enter "anonymous" for the password.
It'll say "CVS exited normally with code 0", which is good, we're logged =
in.
Click Create->Checkout Module
Under Enter the module name on the server, type "ode"
Enter the local folder where you want ode downloaded to, and then click =
OK.
'-----end wincvs stuff-------'
Rename the user-settings.example file as "user-settings"
Change user-settings to look like this:
PLATFORM=3Dmsvc-dll
PRECISION=3DSINGLE
BUILD=3Drelease
WINDOWS16=3D0
***Create a folder named Lib below the root ODE folder***
Download make.exe and copy to the ODE folder, you can find a link to it =
from the documentation.
From DOS, run VCVARS32.BAT from Program Files\Microsoft Visual =
Studio\VC98\Bin\
From the ODE folder in dos, type "make"
That's how I got it to work.=20
