Building the FBX SDK on Linux

Question

Trying to get one of the samples compiled on Ubuntu 12.04

I’m using make -f Makefile-x64-static

However, I get the error make: gcc4: Command not found

I tried switching from gcc4 to gcc in the makefile.

However, I get the compile errors note: #pragma message: IMPORTANT NOTE: The FBX SDK API changed substantially. Please define FBXSDK_NEW_API in your project and fix compilation errors as instructed in fbxsdk_compatibility.h.

And the link error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -luuid

Any tips would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Pre-requisites

sudo apt-get install uuid-dev

sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev libxi-dev

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

Makefile modifications required

Change gcc4 to gcc

CC = gcc

LD = gcc

add -lX11 to LIBS

LIBS = -lfbxsdk-$(LIBFBXVERSION)$(STATIC) -lm -lrt -luuid -lc -lstdc++ -lpthread -ldl -lglut_gcc34-amd64 -lGLEW_amd64 -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lX11

add -DFBXSDK_NEW_API to C_FLAGS and CXX_FLAGS

CFLAGS = -m64 -DFBXSDK_NEW_API

CXXFLAGS = -m64 -DFBXSDK_NEW_API
