Opensim + Ubuntu
Some issues encountered getting OpenSim to kick on Ubuntu, noted here for posterity.
* i used the mono package from http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html not the one from apt as it was way behind
* i used the svn drop
* i didn’t realize the ode physics, openjpeg and sqlite3 come out of svn prebuilt and the *.so weren’t right. gave me cannot load assembly errors on the dll’s
* checked out the libs from svn http://opensimulator.org/wiki/PhysicsEngines
* ubuntu has 1.9.x of automake and autogen.sh requires 1.10.x so i edited configure.in and found AC_PROG_MKDIR_P and commented it out (that was the only requirement holding things up, how stupid!) and changed AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.10 foreign) to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE( 1.9 foreign)
* configure, make -k worked normally and so i copied the ode/src/.libs/libode.so to the OpenSim/bin
* all is well with physics
After svn update, certain things can disappear and give errors on the nant build. Run prebuild.sh before nant fixes those. Also you have to copy the lidode.so from the pyhics build to opensim/bin after ever rebuild.
So the cycle is…
* cd $OPENSIM_ROOT
* svn update
* ./prebuild.sh
* nant
* cd bin
* cp ../../opensim-libs/unmanaged/OpenPhysics/ode/src/.libs/libode.so .
