Bugzilla Bug 166192

I would like to see bullet-2.42b on portage. I find this physics sdk somewhat
better structured than ODE, and ODE is already there.

If anyone has made an ebuild please submit it. If not, then I'll do it myself,
hoping it will be accepted..

Thanks

I've done a simple ebuild that works.

The only problem seems to be that the Demos and the Extras get built, and I can
find no way of turning that off.. They don't get installed, but it takes a bit
longer to build everything.

The proposed ebuild

This is my proposed ebuild.

The only things lacking may be the ability to not compile the Extras and Demos
or the ability to install them.

Hi Renato,

Thanks for your input.
In order to have bullet in the tree, the ebuild needs more work:
- RDEPEND does not need jam
- use the die function when you can (e.g. for econf) 
- there seems to have an opengl/glut dependency
- documentation: the package provides much, but the ebuild does not install any
- an src_test would be very nice (it seems you need cppunit in this case)
- if there is a way to build the shared library, include it

You also might want to update to the latest, which also seem to use cmake.

Ok, I'll work on it. Thanks for the input.

I'll be really busy until the end of the next week, but expect something done
after that.

Cheers,
  Renato

It's for the demos. I've added a use flag, although no install mechanism is in
place (see bellow).. Also, there seems to be no effect of setting --without-x
and --without-mesa...

> - documentation: the package provides much, but the ebuild does not install any
I can't see any docs on the 2.50b tarball.. Can you point me to them?

> - an src_test would be very nice (it seems you need cppunit in this case)
Hum, not sure how to do this, will try to learn :)

> - if there is a way to build the shared library, include it
Apparently the author doesn't want this, so it provides no visible mechanism...
Only the static library is built..

CMake is broken on purpose, as the author states here:
http://www.continuousphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=3876&sid=c70f16763aef803fee76512bfa26dd06

There is no ability to install anything with cmake. And now with 2.50b jam is
also unable to install the libraries/headers:

>>> Merging sci-physics/bullet-2.50b to /
>>> sci-physics/bullet-2.50b merged.
>>> Recording sci-physics/bullet in "world" favorites file...

>>> No packages selected for removal by clean
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

Summing up, the build system(s) is(are) broken.. So unless the author changes
his philosophy I guess there's no point for the bullet ebuild....

Cheers,
  Renato

Here's the updated (although not working) ebuild

The working ebuild

Oh, sorry, I forgot the double-ticks around the ${D}.. now it installs
everything correctly :)

So the ebuild is working! (although the demos keep being compiled..)

sci-physics/bullet-2.51

Took the 2.50b ebuild. Fixed:

- LICENCE -> LICENSE
- "" round ZLIB
- use sourceforge mirrors

Ooops.. these were really stupid bugs..

Seems better!

Bullet 2.52 is out.

bullet-2.52.ebuild

Bump.

Maybe sunrise would be a better place for this ebuild :)

just put a slightly modified ebuild in gentooscience. thanks!

With a view on the possibility of games which might be depending on this
library, I think it should be in the main repos

Well I'd be willing to do this. But I don't know this package at all. So if
someone could provide a way to test it, or better a src_test function in the
ebuild, that would be great.

bumped to 2.64. Vote for this bug or CC yourself to it if you would like to see
this in the main tree.

bullet-2.64-gcc4.patch

I needed this patch to compile bullet 2.64 under gcc 4.2.2

Would be nice to post it here since gentooscience looks... dead?

Anyone with that 2.64 ebuild?

Found it somewhere in the internet, added patch from egore. Works here.

gentooscience has been transfered to overlays.gentoo.org. You can still add it
with layman -a science, just as before.
Also the 2.64 ebuild has been there, and I just updated it with the gcc-4.2
patch.
I will probably push bullet in the main tree once 2.67 is out, since 2.66 has
some issues.
Thanks

bullet-2.67 now in the main tree. Thanks all.
