Using pure ODE.

I'm considering in using pure ODE core, is there any resource with some Tutorials where to start from?

Thx.

I learn ODE by

1) Reading the "latest" ODE manual. The url for the pdf version is here: http://www.ode.org/ode-latest-userguide.pdf. Ode now is in version 0.7, but the manual covers only 0.5 but it is sufficient enough to get started.

2) Various samples in the ODE distribution itself. And also the 3 demos in OgreOde distribution itself.

3) Subscribed to the mailing list.

4) Search the ODE mailing list for specific keyword. As for me, this works quite okay: go to to google, and type "site:q12.org ode <keyword>"

p/s: Why did you intend to skip OgreOde?

Well, as far as i heard OgreODE has no Mac port. :(

AFAIK, neither does ODE.
or is there a Mac ODE somewhere ?
(found an old one there)

Micah says:
Mac ODE does exist (Uses Linux Build system, and someone made an XCode Framework of it).

Micah says:
I've gotton ode to compile on the Mac so I'm doing good there - didn't require any code changes either =D

Uses Linux Build system
OgreOde also has a Build System that can be used for the mac port.

The build system for OgreOde depends on at least 1 package MacOS X Doesn't use... pkg-config (Checking for OGRE 1.2) which causes the ./configure script to fail... I haven't tried to clean this up on Mac either as time doesn't permit currently.

ODE itself works fine though (and it makes the carbon framework which is nice for Mac Devs)

tried ./autogen.sh ?
That could pkg-config can surely be safely removed. (in configure.ac and every makefile.am)

Perhaps we could make it a default option, removable by a
./configure --wihtout-dpkg.

./autogen.sh was done (I have pkg-config, but nothing uses it -- Gentoo Portage attempt... I should remove it =)

Note: If you just strip that out, then you are left with tons of errors because it can't find Ogre.h which should be at:
/Library/Frameworks/Ogre.Framework
or
~/Library/Frameworks/Ogre.Framework

There is slightly more path to it, but thats the general problem.
