QML box-2d demo example - how to compile

[Chuck Gao]

Do you import the qml-box2d plugin? Or do you make install after compile?

Hi
Sorry for late reply . I make install after compile. I just can't understand why it won't work when everyone seem to have no problem with it :-(

[Chuck Gao]

Can you paste your code ? Do you build qml-box2d plugin before you compile the qmlbox2ddemo ?

Thank you for helping thus far. I have washed my hands off Box2d and switched over to Bullet physics which I could compile and use with no hassle. Thanks again
If any one is interested, do check out QML and Bullet Physics integration here

How can I build the plugin ?

I found box2d.pro file, opened and when I click Run it opens a window that asks for an executable ("Could not find the executable, please specify one.", with 3 fields: Executable, Arguments, WD).

I also tried to copy the plugin directory in my project file and then use import in my QML files but with no luck: module not installed

I'm from hours on google, forums, docs but find nothing that really helps me.

Can someone explain step-by-step how he installed the Box2D plugin successfully ?

Thanks a lot,
in advance

It's a plugin, not a executable one. The simple way to build it was: open your cmd window(.pro folder), and type: make & make install

If you using Qt Creator, you need specified a step to "make install", and "Run" is not needed, just ignore it.

Hi,
Check your import path first(desktop for exmaple):
YourQtSDK\Desktop\Qt\YourQtVersion\mingw\imports
Can you find Box2D there ?

[madil]

hi,
i can put Box 2D where QTSDK installed like(C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw\imports\Box2D_v2.2.1). and i run my project from this "c:\" but this error comes
