Previous Changelog:
-------------
- Zip missing files fixed.
- Linux Build Fixes.

It doesn't compile with Eihort.
I starting a new instalation in another PC and I couldn't make it works.

Dirso

1)What the lasted version of ode ogreOde did use ?

2)What the current version of ode ogreOde using ?


3)While being at it. It is possible to update ogreODE projects with environnement variable for ogre_Source (just like OGRE_HOME for ogreSDK) ?

OGRE_SRC

CVS version now is Eihort compatible.

1) & 2 ) OgreOde use 0.8

3) vc8 ? Feel free to submit a patch or a zip file containing the .sln and vcproj. Ideally, a premakescript should be done to do that. (ode and cegui does use premake.)

1)What the lasted version of ode ogreOde did use ?

???-->The binary file is from august 2006. I doubt is use ODE 0.8.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
OGRE_SRC

I'll check what i can do on this side. Gona take a while to verify that source point to good directory of ogreSource. SDK vs source, some directory change a bit...
Many directory to

"..\..\OgreMain"
"..\..\Samples\Common\bin"

going to be replaced by
"$(OGRE_src)\OgreMain"
"$(OGRE_src)\Samples\Common\bin"

Following files will be modified (11 files):
ode_Source.vcproj (vc8)
OgreOde_Core_Source.vcproj (vc8 & vc7.1)
OgreOde_Prefab_Source.vcproj (vc8 & vc7.1)
Demo_SimpleScenes_Source.vcproj (vc8 & vc7.1)
Demo_Landscape_Source.vcproj (vc8 & vc7.1)
DemoGrandTurismOgre_Source.vcproj (vc8 & vc7.1)

Replaced ode_source.vcproj (vc8)-->BuildEvent - PostBuild:
$(OGRE_HOME)\bin\
with (the file didn't copy the dll at the good directory !!!)
"$(OGRE_src)\Samples\Common\bin


ogreOde_Core didn't build with correct ode.lib (using debug in the release mode)


I can only verify that vc8 work.

how to install the .zip package:
OgreSource = "c:\ogrenew\samples"
OgreOde root= OgreSource +"OgreOde"= "c:\ogrenew\samples\OgreOde"
If ogreOde is not in sample folder, it won't find the media ressource from the .cfg file.

4)By the way where do you hang out. I'll like to have a quick chat with you.

Finished.

Tester are welcome to try out new ogreODE with better
.vcproj


http://sunens.uqac.ca/~rpgcommun/developpement/applicationsUtilise/ODE/OgreOde_SourceCode.zip

The file will be there for a week.

install in the samples folder of "c:\ogrenew\" :
"c:\ogrenew\samples\ogreOde"


I put 8h to make & test this !

ok that means the install paths look something like
c:\ogrenew\ogresdk
c:\ogrenew\ogreode

right?

ok that means the install paths look something like
c:\ogrenew\ogresdk //sdk
c:\ogrenew\ogreode //source

right?

I don't know about ogre sdk. Didn't try it. I fixed ogreOde source with ogre source. You cannot combine ogreOde sdk with ogre source and vice verca...

I know that the .zip package contain the ms vc [7|8] [sdk | source].

My head is swimming with this. I'm trying to compile this with Eihort

If my ogrenew is in C:\foo\ogrenew , what should be the FULL path of the ogreode directory?

The README's seem wrong, implying that it should be a sibling directory to a non-existent ogresdk directory (I have an ogrenew directory and an ogrenew\SDK directory, but no ogresdk anywhere in the tree).

Thanks in advance.

tone

if you have c:\foo\ogresdk than it will be c:\foo\ogreode

in fact i were not able to compile all the solutions shipped with ogreode, only the sdk solution (independent if i downloaded the ogreode sdk or not), so try this. also when able to compile, i still had to copy the exes of the demos by hand to the ogresdk/bin/release (or debug) directory to test them.

Problem is that ogre_SDK and ogre_SRC use different folder tree.

Int the .zip files
The sdk path seem the same than the source path. Like I just said, ogreSDK and ogreSRC have different arboresence...

.zip file do not compile with lastest 1.4 Eihort.
Tested in c:\ogrenew\samples\ogreODE
so it can find the media folder for the demo, but have problem with ode linking...

There are references to DebugContact, and yet there is no implementation provided for this class.

edit: found it. It was not in the project for some reason. I am trying the CVS version of OgreOde now, as even when I added the DebugContact.cpp, it had obsolete versions of material-setting methods for Ogre.

After getting the latest from CVS, I'm getting a compile error:
1>OgreOdeWorld.cpp
1>c:\svn_root\sector13_ogre\dependencies2005\ogreode\src\ogreodeworld.cpp(146) : error C3861: 'dWorldSetAutoDisableAverageSamplesCount': identifier not found
1>c:\svn_root\sector13_ogre\dependencies2005\ogreode\src\ogreodeworld.cpp(151) : error C3861: 'dWorldGetAutoDisableAverageSamplesCount': identifier not found

And realized that I have to upgrade ode.

I can compile debug.

I get this error when compiling release:

I don't this option working to increase the heap limit:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.vcprojectengine.vcclcompilertool(VS.80).aspx

Be realistic -- it told you to increase it at least to 110, so why did you set it to 10000 (10GB in other words)? I personally would set it to 128 in this case.

This happens a lot with lots of precompiled headers in a single project.

I tried a variety of values before posting and just realized I was adding the option to the debug build and not the release build.

This did the trick:
<Tool

AdditionalOptions="/Zm128"

EnableFiberSafeOptimizations="false"
AdditionalIncludeDirectories="..\..\include;$(SolutionDir)\..\..\..\ode\include;$(SolutionDir)\..\..\..\Ogrenew\OgreMain\include"

/>

How would this be installed with OgreSDK?

Is there a link to a guide?

I looked and I couldnt find one.

When I tried to run OgreOde I had all sorts of errors.

mesh, DON'T use SKD, get the CVS version. There have been way too many changes since that time.

mesh, DON'T use SKD, get the CVS version. There have been way too many changes since that time.

OgreSDK or do you mean OdeSDK or both?

I meant OgreOde SDK. Its outdated. Need to use the CVS instead. As far as Ogre goes, use whichever one you like, it doesn't matter.

Ah okies thanks for the info Aquatix

I downloaded the SDK, and installed it, but I see no *.lib or *.dll files? What an odd SDK...

Do I have to download ODE separately? Anybody have a quick link, or I guess I'll just hop over to the ODE page and find it..

Should I go ahead and rebuild Ogre using the latest ODE, and then build OgreODE using the latest ODE? I was really hoping to find some binaries in the SDK, so I wouldn't have to do this..

I thought ode was a dependency of Ogre, but it looks like the only project that lists it as a dependency is the ref app layer project. So I guess I don't need to rebuild Ogre. I downloaded the sept 26th release of ode v0.9 from source forge, I hope this is fine. I'll build OgreOde now..

Lots of linker errors building OgreOde_Core..

Does anybody have an SDK with prebuilt binaries, or is it in the SDK and I missed it somewhere? Would be much appreciated.

I had the same errors and got around them by downloading the latest version of ODE off the webpage, (source, not pre-built!) building that, and then building ogreOde. With the pre built ODE I had the same issues as you. Make sure you set ODE_HOME to the new directory if you build ODE in a different location.

Thanks for the information!

I saw in another thread Aquatix posted pre built binaries. Maybe I can get those off him, or I'll build from source like you suggested. Can you confirm that Ogre doesn't depend on ode, even though ode.lib is found in the dependencies/lib folder?

Yes. It's there for 1 demo (where u get to throw the balls). AFAIK it was sinbad, who made a simple wrapper long time ago and used ODE directly (no OgreOde back then). So, the ode.lib which comes with Ogre must be ignored (and even deleted from any common folders)!

Hi,

does the latest SDK work with ODE 0.11.1 and VC++ Express 2008 and Ogre3d 1.65 SDK?

not sure if it works with ODE 0.11.1. OgreOde SVN does.

Hi,

does the latest SDK work with ODE 0.11.1 and VC++ Express 2008 and Ogre3d 1.65 SDK?

There is no longer an "OgreOde SDK" in the source project. The "Source" and "SDK" projects were replaced by a single OgreOde project. We're currently working on an NSIS installer package, but it's not quite ready.

As for compatibility, the current OgreOde in the source repository is fully compatible with ODE 0.11.1. It should also work with the other components you've mentioned. You will need to compile the ODE and OPCODE libraries ahead of time with the preprocessor defines dTRIMESH_ENABLED and dTRIMESH_OPCODE for linking. Checking out the source from SVN would be your best bet.

Bludo

it seems that my compile errors were caused by newton. The current svn version of OgreNewt needs at least newton 2.16.
