[ODE] OPCODE in ODE...

[Steve Eckles]

I too have recently tried OPCODE in ODE and had some problems, but now I do
have it working. This is what I found was required -

1 - Build OPCODE separately. I did this by loading the project file into
msdev, compiling it (in release) and copying the resulting OPCODE.lib to the
lib dir of ODE. 
2 - As other people have said, uncomment the line OPCODE_DIRECTORY=OPCODE in
the user settings file, and then do a “make all” in the ODE dir to rebuild
ODE.
3 - Finally, include the lib in your project – I did this with a #pragma
comment(lib,”opcode.lib”)

And you should be away. I didn’t work properly a first for me but I found
out is was cos the I had the wrong winding order of my vertices( ie they
must in counter-clockwise order ) so watch out for that one.

I tried separately downloading the latest version of OPCODE separately but
couldn’t get it to work with ODE and eventually gave up on that and went
back to the one including with ODE.I have also found the capped cylinders
don’t seem to collide with the mesh – so I have had to model my car wheels
as sphere! So if anyone has any ideas on these problems?

Hope this helps

Steve.

Hey all:

I'm currently trying to get OPCODE to work within ODE.
I'm currently using ODE successfully within my own
app, but for some reason when I try to create the
triangleMesh object I get linking errors, which leads
me to believe that the object code for OPCODE is not
being added to ODE correctly when I do make ode-lib.
Here are my installation steps:

I build opcode, which creates the lib files in
ode/OPCODE/Release and ode/OPCODE/Debug (depending on
whether im doing debug or release configuration). All
fine and good. Then i rebuild ode using :
make configure
make ode-lib

Seems to build the ode lib corectly. I then copy the
ODE lib and associated header files to my project. I
can use the regular ODE stuff in my code, but as soon
as I attempt to create a TriangleMesh object, I get
linking errors for the TriangleMesh stuff. So its
almost like ODE isnt including the OPCODE library...am
I missing a step? Doesnt seem to work

:(

thanks, 

Mike
