compile error - visual c++ express 2005

Post by armage »

Hi Guys,

Heard about Bullet from Erin's link. So decided to try out.

I downloaded 2.66. My first step is trying to compile using wksbullet.sln
appBasicDemo (Release Double Precision)

But I didn't get far, here are the build errors attached.

The autogenerated visual studio projectfiles had some post-build step to copy libraries into a common folder.

I removed this step, so it should build fine.

Can you try the Bullet 2.67 alpha1 release, and let us know if it works?

Thanks,
Erwin

Yup it compiles with about 15 entries in the menu.

Thanks. :D

The reason for the compile error is probably because the directory you extracted it from had a space in it. (Anywhere in your user space will cause this: "Documents and Settings")

Consequently, xcopy reads

Code: Select all

xcopy /r /y C:\documents and
to copy "C:\documents" which doesn't exist, to "and" which wont either.

Put quotes in the build step around the two parameters, and it should succeed fine

I just found this error, and thought I'd post ;-)

off to do a directory-wide find and replace, as I don't trust alphas.
