PhysX doesn't seem to come in the installer.

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

Hi, so I have compiled and made an installer from the source code, but it seems that PhysX is missing, it works when I add the three files in Bin,Lib and Pandac folders. But I would like for PhysX to be in the installer anyone have any ideas?

I compile it in powershell by typing “./makepanda/makepanda.bat --everything --installer”

PhysX is not bundled with Panda because PhysX’s license forbids it. You have to download it separately if you want to use it.

All right, thanks for the quick reply :Þ

To clarify, you should have the PhysX SDK installed before building Panda. I don’t think the new 3 version is supported yet, so you may have to grab 2.8.4, or whatever the version numbering’s like.

To be precise you need the PhysX 2.8.4.6 SDK (2.8.4.4 won’t work).

Since PhysX 3.x is a complete rewrite of the PhysX engine we won’t update the existing libpandaphysx code from 2.8.x to 3.x - but we will come up with a replacement using PhysX 3.2. I already work on this, but I don’t want to make any promises when it will be done and available.
