Dynamica Bullet Plug-in for Maya 2011 or and Bullet at yet

[i7inferno]

I hope this is the right section to ask.

Has anyone gotten bullet working on 2011 64bit Maya for linux or windows?

If you have what steps did you take? Did you compile from source?

Else, is there a release date? or will the 2010 version work?

...not yet.

If you have what steps did you take? Did you compile from source?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit here and still no luck.

This is what I did so far:
Installation of needed packages

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install cmake libgl1-mesa-dev \
libopenal-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev freeglut3-dev

Then:

Code: Select all

cd dynamica-Bullet-2.76-source
cmake . -G "Unix Makefiles"
make

It starts compiling and goes on for quite some time.
Suddenly it stops and spits out the following errors

Code: Select all

Ideas on how to solve that problem?

This is an old topic, just wanted to let you know that latest Dynamica trunk build for Linux.
The Extras/MayaPlugin/Makefile is fixed, so it is easier to compile/install for Linux.

Here is a precompiled binary of Dynamica for 64bit Maya 2012, tested on Fedora Core 14.
