[ODE] Compiling OPCODE 1.0 as a static lib for use with tri-collider

(Apologies if this message is posted twice, I initially sent it using
the incorrect email account)

Hi,
I’m developing a car simulation API for my MSc degree. I would like to
be able to use ODE with the tri-collider contribution (ode/contrib) so
that I can do sphere (wheel) triangle (terrain) collisions. Unfortunatly
I have cannot for the life of me get opcode to compile as a static
library. I printed off and followed the guide on the Wiki pages, but got
only the following error output:

Looking through the archives for this mailing list someone named Norman
had the same problem. He posted a message saying the he to could not
compile opcode 1.0 as a static lib, unfortunately I could not see any
reply to his request in the archives. Norman’s next post just thanked
the author for helping him get it compiling! Here’s a snippit:

Hi,

Thanks to the author's help I was able to compile the tri-collider -
I needed to modify opcode to compile it as a static library, then
compile the files in the tri-collider directory as a static library,
then link my test app against both libraries.

All help with this is greatly appreciated! Thanks,
