Pre-built project files for VS2005 (and 2010)

Post by Andrew McDonald »

Hi guys. I grabbed the bullet-2.76.zip distribution, and noticed the pre-built libraries for VS2005 aren't included, though they're mentioned in the PDF manual. I found them in the right place in source control, so it looks like they just didn't get included in the 2.76 release. Is that intentional or an oversight? Also, will we end up with pre-built files for VS2010?

Obviously not a massive deal, but I'd prefer not to faff around with CMake and it's always nicer to hit the ground running :-)

Please grab the latest Bullet-2.77-beta.zip, it has MSVC 2005 projectfiles in Bullet/msvc/2005 and it is close to final 2.77 release.

When using MSVC 2010 is should automatically upconvert either 2005 or 2008 projects.
Thanks,
Erwin

Thanks Erwin. I've not had good experiences with the VS2010 auto-upgrader, due to many subtle changes in format it doesn't handle properly. But if it works for the Bullet projects that's all good.
