(In reply to comment #0) > Requesting a Physx ebuild request for an cross platform physics library. > > Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce > > Steps to Reproduce: > I would also like one now that linux drivers have been released for apt and rpm based distros For more information on "What is Physx?" see: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_physx.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX Seems Nvidia has a new package out for inclusion into Portage. (... and the rest of the story. Also helps to provide a url to the software package location! I was stupified by this request!) Created attachment 194592 [details]
PhysX-2.8.1.ebuild
Although this bug did not get too much attention, I created an ebuild draft. I don't know if it will get into portage or an overlay because the version may be incompatible.
This ebuild installs everything like the .deb or .rpm available (also executes the deb controls).
Samples work fine. The only thing that i think that needs improvement (except the ebuild itself) is the directory structure of the /usr/share/doc/* files.

In my case all samples exit with: SDK create error (1 - NXCE_PHYSX_NOT_FOUND). Unable to initialize the PhysX SDK, exiting the sample. On x86 it is working fine. |
