Bullet on Windows without Visualstudio

[Empire-Phoenix]

Hi,

Currently I'm stuck trying to get bullet to compile on a windows with Eclipse c/c++ and Mingw

What I try to archive is:
A bullet.dll (or similar) that I can compile for windows or for linux and with 64bits
Opencl support and with double precision.

Is there some easy way how to archive this? I already read some stuff about Cmake, however I honestly would prefer a IDE for building. ( Also where can I specify the stuff mentiond above for the cmake?, especially the double precision and the 64 bits)

The latest cmake should be able to generate project files for all kind of IDE's, including Eclipse c/c++ and Mingw.

Have you tried running cmake-gui?

Thanks,
Erwin

Well I did that with Cmake(gui) and created a project for Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles.

After that I used in eclipse new-> other -> c/c++ -> makefile Project with Existing Code and selected there the output folder from cmake.

After that everything looks kinda similar to the visualstudio and I have all the demo's ect there.

This is where I'm stuck currently (before the following they all say in progress something about creating make files for folder ...

cygwin internal:

(Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)

Does anyone here know what why this might be happening? Hello word programm are compileable without any problem, so I think the mingw compiler is set up correctly (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Unfortunately we only support visual studio under Windows. There is a free version of that compiler.
We tried using MinGW and code::blocks, and both work fine.

If you use another compiler you better use their support or cmake.

I switched over to Code::Blocks and everything is working as supposed right from the start
