Doesn't it come with directions? Just link to whatever libs it gives you, I would imagine.

i remember few years back when i got no idea what to do, i'll try it one-by-one lol. actually you can even read other library's tutorials (such as irrlicht). the concept is the same.

eh but i thought bullet doesn't have a lib?

I ve already used the NEwton PE but it was easier because there was only a 1 .lib file,1 .a file and 1 .dll.....

in Bullet I have some problems....

there are more than a directory with .a files , there are 2 dll files(glut and glew) and there is no lib file.......

please...help me....

Why You use Dev-Cpp? If You want Bullet support in Dev-Cpp You have to precompile bullet libraries with MingW. You should use compiler from MS Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition (free for commercial use), Dev-Cpp because MingW isn't good for programming with Irrlicht and Bullet.

You need to compile 3libs

bulletmath
bulletcollision
bulletphysics

Import(under the file menu in devcpp, project menu in code blocks) the ms visaul studio project files and press compile (compile as static libs).

link these libs to your app in this order

physics
collision
math

You can use bullet on mingw, gcc isnt bad and has some feutres which even commercial compilers dont have.

If you want modern rendering techniques learn how to make them or go to the engine next door =p
