makepanda fails with bullet 2.81

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source

This is the current release branch. You need to use Bullet 2.80, because of API changes between Bullet 2.80 and 2.81 which would lead to API changed in the Pand3D Bullet API. Since Panda3D enforces ABI compatibility on major releases (1.8.x), we can’t do these modification on the release branch:

  • Bullet 2.81 has been released Oct 2012
  • Panda3D 1.8.0 has been released Feb 2012 (older!)

So either use Panda3D 1.8.1 (release) and Bullet 2.80, or current Panda3D snapshot and Bullet 2.81.
