Ok. Just one (stupid) question:
I noticed there are single trimesh and double no-trimesh versions, but no 
double trimesh. Why aren't there bin archives of double-trimesh version?

Hope I understood.

I unzipped ODE single trimesh version (in "c:\ode\")
I replaced the dirs added before in MSVC, with these ones:
"C\ode\lib\" to library dirs
"C\ode\include\" and "C\ode\OPCODE\" to include dirs

I created a new win32 application and added opengl32.lib and glu32.lib in 
Object\Library modules of Project settings->Link (as before)
I compiled and built test_buggy.cpp, but I got 53 errors.

So I added also ode.lib and drawstuff.lib to the library modules as 
opengl.lib and glu.lib. I built the project and this time I got only a 
warning message (defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs; use 
/NODEFAULTLIB:library)
I executed the .exe file and an error window appeared: "could not load 
accelerators"
I added resource.res to the project, built it again and launched the .exe. 
No errors this time.

I think I resolved all the problems... for the moment ;-)
Thank you very much


One last question
I'm having some problems with OpenGL drivers.
When, after build process ended, I launched the .exe, another error window 
appeared: "could not create OpenGL context"

When (yesterday) I downloaded ODE library and executed the tests, I always 
got that error message. So I re-installed video drivers and then all the 
tests worked perfectly.
Today I have again the same problem, so I'm re-installing once again the 
drivers.
Has anyone had that problem?

I have an Asus GeForce 2 Mx (with Asus drivers) and my OS is Windows 2000 
service pack 4.
I think it could be the OpenGL driver included in the last win2000 service 
pack (maybe too recent for my video card?)
Thanx again for the help
Bye
