[ODE] How I Compiled ODE Using MSVC7

[Jeff Weber]

I did try starting over when I wrote that post.  I deleted my entire 
ode-0.035 folder. Re-Uncompressed ode and went thru the steps exactly as 
laid out in the docs.  Still got the exit and abort errors.  Must be 
something to with my C++ environment or something.
What is annoying is how difficult it is to pin-point the problem. I've yet 
to try the suggestion from Nate.

I must admit I didn't have any problems compiling with vc7, apart from the
missing lib folder.
I did have a problem with the dll in that the dGeomEnable / Disable and
IsEnabled functions could not be found and I had to remove them from the
msvcdefs.def file. but then everything was ok.
I also had a problem using these functions in the static lib so I don't
think it was a compiler problem (I think they are just not there yet).

Jeff, it might make sense to start a fresh again. With all the chopping
around that you sometimes do when trying to solve a problem like this, you
might have something left over. The steps I followed are exactly the same as
the ones you posted but without step 4. I think the important things were
adding the lib folder, and using the VS.Net command prompt. the command
prompt in particular.

Another problem I had was with rebuilding. for example I had built using
double precision, then I rebuilt using single precision and got a few
strange errors. the problem was I hadn't deleted the obj files from the
C:\ode\ode\src folder. now I delete these before every rebuild.

Hope this helps a little.

David
