[Bf-committers] Help request build systems for Bullet 2.x upgrade

[Kent Mein]

In reply to erwin at erwincoumans.com (erwin at erwincoumans.com):

For the makefiles,

Are the new bullet lib names changing?
or is it still libbulletdyn.a and libbullet.a?
If they change you will need to edit source/makefile and find those
and modify/add to it/remove as needed.

Then just do something similar to the Makefiles that are in the current 
extern/bullet dir, and modify the extern/Makefile to use bullet2 instead of
bullet.
(I can help if you have any questions with it)

I can also try to help with scons/cmake if needed as well.
