[ODE] Building on MacOSX (and now Linux)

[Ryan Gardner]

It's pretty darn close to just building and running on OS X out of  
the box from a clean SVN checkout...

With a little bit of tinkering, I got past my above problem...  
although I don't know if it's the best workaround or not. The link  
error on the ODE library was easy to get past. I just navigated to  
the trunk/ode/src and ran make - then copied the gcc build command it  
was using - pasted it in bbedit - changed the gcc to g++ and pasted  
it back into the terminal... then it linked fine with g++ (no  
undefined symbol error)

The same fix worked for the chaintest1.c file that was giving link  
errors.

After getting past both of those minor bumps - the next obstacle I  
encounter is in compiling test_basket.cpp:

test_basket.cpp: In function 'void nearCallback(void*, dxGeom*,  
dxGeom*)':
test_basket.cpp:86: error: 'isnanf' was not declared in this scope
test_basket.cpp:87: error: 'isnanf' was not declared in this scope
test_basket.cpp:88: error: 'isnanf' was not declared in this scope
test_basket.cpp: In function 'void simLoop(int)':
test_basket.cpp:179: error: 'isnanf' was not declared in this scope
test_basket.cpp:183: error: 'isnanf' was not declared in this scope

I think that isnanf is not implemented on PPC processors - but I may  
be wrong.

To avoid the error, I commented out those lines (they were  
assertions...)

After that - the entire make process would run fine. (Although If I  
made clean and then tried to make - I would have to manually re-link  
it with g++ at each of the sticking points, because I didn't edit any  
of the makefiles)

The tests don't find the DYlibs if the odelib isn't installed...

To get the tests to run correctly - I did 'sudo make install'...  
After that - the tests run and the thing builds correctly.

I'm not playing around with the buggy... Yipee!
