ODE DOP comipiling issue

[Ratman]

Hey gang,

Re-posting this here too see if anyone else can help out:

Hey gang,

Anyone here gotten the ode solver included in the public section of the Houdini install working?

I'm trying to compile it in Win64 and getting this int8 error, and a warning.

Here's what I'm getting so far:

SIM_SolverODE.cpp
c:\program files\side effects software\houdini 10.0.362\toolkit\include\sys\SYS_Types.h(27) : error C2371: '
int8' : redefinition; different basic types
        .\ode/odeconfig.h(50) : see declaration of 'int8'
c:\program files\side effects software\houdini 10.0.362\toolkit\include\ut\UT_String.h(191) : warning C4996: 'strcpy' was declared deprecated
        C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/include\string.h(73) : see declaration of 'strcpy'
        Message: 'This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using strcpy_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE. See online help for details.'
SIM_SolverODE.cpp(164) : warning C4355: 'this' : used in base member initializer list

Anyone got a clue?

Hey,

First of all, I can't help you with compiling anything.

Secondly, are you compiling it for exercise? I'm asking because ODE is already available in DOPs. There is a Rigid Body Solver or something similar where you switch between the RBD or ODE solvers.

Cheers!

Hey Steven, yeh I know about the actual ODE dop that's included there, I just wanna be able to get this version compiled so I can understand how things work inside and how to get the linking of the libraries going right, since my current pet project is getting the bullet solver up and running.

I'm guessing this was written by someone at Imageworks since it has a line in the header about it, although I haven't really seen any use of it on actual shows here, so that's confusing.

Okay, got the compile "working", but now I got some version warnings when it comes to loading it One step at a time I guess.

Okay, I think I figured it out, from another project, that I have to setup an actual make file and compile the ODE libraries using the Houdini compiling business to get it to actually work.
