Build problem. no make install

Hi,

If I do a "make install" after a successful cmake, make it simply says that there is no install target.

Code: Select all

I have no idea why it wont work...

It worked fine with autogen.sh, configure (after removing a missing makefile configure.ac:111: required file `Demos/ColladaDemo/Makefile.in' not found)
cmake ist to impracticable...

I ran into this problem too. Thanks for the working alternative, dwig122

Edit: Another problem with v2.76: Although the file BulletCollision/CollisionShapes/btTriangleInfoMap.h is there under the src directory in the unpacked archive, it is not being installed. I had to copy it by hand.

Edit2: More problems with this method: when installing via cmake, the libraries are in camel-case. With autogen, they are in lower case. With cmake, the header file hierarchy starts in /usr/local/include. With autogen, it starts in (the otherwise non-existant) /usr/local/include/bullet.

Edit3: One way to install bullet v2.76 with cmake is to use cmake-gui: check "INSTALL_LIBS" (and "INSTALL_EXTRA_LIBS" if you need them - WorldBuilder, MultiThreaded I think), click "Configure" and "Generate". Then make, make install will work.

Bullet is designed for static linking, and not for dynamic linking or installation. Some people contributed shared libraries/frameworks/install features, but it isn't supported (in other words, you will have to fix it yourself, contribute it, or hope someone else will help out).

Linking static libraries into your project should work just fine. If there is any problem with this, we will try to fix it,
Thanks,
