Trouble Building

I have been out of the loop for a while so I am getting caught back up! Anyway, here's that I did.

1. Install PhysX System Software 7.09.13
2. Install PhysX 2.7.2 SDK Core
3. Check out NxOgre from http://latest.nxogre.org/nxogre3
4. Set PHYSX_DIR environment variable to C:\Program Files\AGEIA Technologies\SDK\v2.7.2, which is the default install dir for the SDK.
5. Verify that the Ogre include and link directories are valid.
6 Build.

I got a bunch of errors like this one:c:\development\nxogre\nxogre\source\nxogreshapeblueprintprimitives.cpp(20) : fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'c:\development\nxogre\nxogre\compiler\windows\debug\vc80.pdb'Any idea why that may be?

PCB are compiled headers aren't they?

Try cleaning the solution and recompile, and see if that works, else peer into the NxOgre directory and kill any PCB files.

Ok, that worked, I thought I had done a clean, but whatever. Now I am just playing with eatures and my app crashed while trying to bake ogrehead.mesh.It seems there are some meshes that it works for and others that it doens't. Is there a rule about that?

Yeah. Duplicate vertices are usually a no-no. What was you trying to bake the Ogre head into; a Convex or a Triangle Mesh shape?

I think this fits in this thread too:

All other files build successfully. I did the 3 steps from http://nxogre.org/ and now I'm trying to compile it with Visual Studio 2005. (I would prefer Code Blocks, but that doesn't work too)

I was trying to bake it into a convex shape, but triangle mesh shape seems to work.

Probably due to the amount of vertices then. Convex meshes better with as little as possible (but still retaining the detail), and I think there is a hard limit anyway.
