GMK Port Help
by raa brubb · in Torque 3D Professional · 04/13/2014 (12:54 am) · 9 replies
Hey all,
I've been redoing the GMK port to add more add ons to the package. I have run into what I believe is my last issue with the re-port. The last one was okay, but too buggy. I'm reporting it with light changes to the source code.
The screenshot is shown there.
This is simply the chicken scratch I got from Visual Studio. I have pinned it down to the header. I'm not quite sure what to do from here. Can anyone tell me what to do from here?

Also, looking at the date there (2008) you may be looking at the old version of the PhysX SDK - if you're building against latest you're seeing the change in the API (those are no longer there). If that's the case you'll have to port it to the latest version of the PhysX SDK.

I don't know - where is public: void __thiscall btSoftRigidDynamicsWorld::addSoftBody(class btSoftBody *,short,short) defined? That's what's missing, along with all of those other things. Either a library is missing or you've missed a header somewhere. PhysX isn't my thing so I don't even know where to start.Also, looking at the date there (2008) you may be looking at the old version of the PhysX SDK - if you're building against latest you're seeing the change in the API (those are no longer there).

unresolved externals usually happens if you do not define the functions in your cpp file (in your case the physShapeSoftBullet.cpp) and you have declared them in a header file.
Also this may happen if you forgot to include the bullet lib/dll file that contains the definitions or even if the bullet headers/lib version does not match.

This is a bullet physics project. Do you want me to upload it? I cannot figure out how to get this thing working. I am sorry for the amount of help I'm asking for, after this, I will put in DX11 and OpenGL.

You appear to be missing a library in your build, and it appears to be related to PhysX. seeing as they are all attached to physShapeSoftBullet.obj, my guess would either be one of two things.
1. You're using an outdated version of the library that is incompatible with T3D.
2. You're in debug build mode, and the library is set for release builds only.

Richard already has you pointed in the correct direction here to what's going on with your project.You appear to be missing a library in your build, and it appears to be related to PhysX. seeing as they are all attached to physShapeSoftBullet.obj, my guess would either be one of two things.

I don't know how to get the libraries included. I really need help.

I tried compiling it as release yet it didn't fix the problem. This project is not at all related to PhysX. Its using bullet.I don't know how to get the libraries included. I really need help.

libbullet.lib and libbullet_DEBUG.lib.
Step 2: Use the Visual Studio "HELP" to
learn how to link the library either
release or debug which ever one you are
going to build as.
Step 3: After adding the correct lib file
for bullet, do clean and build.

Step 1: Use Windows search feature and locatelibbullet.lib and libbullet_DEBUG.lib.
Step 2: Use the Visual Studio "HELP" to
learn how to link the library either
release or debug which ever one you are
going to build as.
Step 3: After adding the correct lib file
for bullet, do clean and build.
