Building Ogre+OgreBullet+Bullet Under Uubuntu

Every one programmer wanted build his own game. I started too.
For game We need:

1. Graphic Engine (Ogre3d)
2. Physic Engine (Bullet)
• Glue between Graphic and Physic (OgreBullet).

Im using Linux x86_64 (UBUNTU 10.10) with NVIDIA video card.
First what We need is set up our develepment environment. To do that we need build and install some  libraries and header files (these are files that tells our programs how to use thous libraries).

So lets start:

• You need ogre it self:
1. Dowload OGRE 1.7.2 Source for Linux / OSX 
2. Build it (From OgreWiki)

Prerequisites

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libtool

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libfreeimage-dev libzzip-dev libxrandr-dev libxaw7-dev freeglut3-dev

Not Strictly Required Dependencies

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cg-toolkit libois-dev libboost-thread-dev

Quick Build

tar xjf ogre_src_v1-7-2.tar.bz2

cd ogre_src_v1-7-2

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make -j2

The -j2 specifies how many parallel compilation jobs to run. Substitute the number of processor cores on your system, e.g. -j2 for a dual-core, -j4 for a quad core...

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

• Next You need Bullet
1. Dowload bullet-2.77.zip
2. Compile and install Bullet (From AddonForum)

cmake . -G "Unix Makefiles" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebugInfo -DBUILD_EXTRAS=ON -DINSTALL_EXTRA_LIBS=ON

make -j2

The -j2 specifies how many parallel compilation jobs to run. Substitute the number of processor cores on your system, e.g. -j2 for a dual-core, -j4 for a quad core...

sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

i need some little tests to test is needed here to copy some libs and make symbolic links for thous.
Here We need some libs from Bullet (Extras/ConvexDecomposition/libConvexDecomposition.so.2.77) copy to /usr/local/lib and make symbolic link to it self, but haven't test it yet.

• Last think what We need to build is OgreBullet
1. Download OgreBullet and extract it

   tar xjf bullet-2.77.tgz

   cd bullet-2.77

2. Update Collisions/src/Makefile.am in OgreBullet source folder (just add in the end off it )

   libOgreBulletCol_la_LIBADD = \
    $(OGRE_LIBS) \
    $(bullet_LIBS) \
    -lConvexDecomposition
   

   or Use (like i done) this patch and  execute in root folder of OgreBullet:

   patch -p0 < linux_demo.patch

3. Compile and install it:

   chmod 755 autogen.sh

   ./autogen.sh

   (if you use -DINSTALL_EXTRA_LIBS=ON in bullet configuration)

   CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/bullet/ConvexDecomposition ./configure

   make -j2

   The -j2 specifies how many parallel compilation jobs to run. Substitute the number of processor cores on your system, e.g. -j2 for a dual-core, -j4 for a quad core...

   sudo make install

   sudo ldconfig

So now You have fully build of Ogre+bullet (glued with OgreBullet). Now set Your application (or download test tutorial) configure plugins.cfg (Change PluginFolder to /usr/local/lib/OGRE).  And build some tutorial form OgreBullet wiki or forum.

Ill post to some of my tests with OgreBullet after some time.

So that all, fill free to comment.
