Irrlicht+BulletPhysics+PAL

[irrcode]

*Not sure where this should be put, so an admin might want to refile it.*

I am having difficulties installing PAL using Bullet-Physics under linux with premake. I installed bullet and irrlicht with no problems, but PAL wont seem to work and is complaining about HULL.cpp. I'm also a little confused about install process itself as explained at http://www.adrianboeing.com/pal/install_generic.html. Premake, gnu tools and other libraries were retreaved through Ubuntu 12.04LTS "sudo apt-get install ..." process. Has anyone here had any luck with this?

While bullet-physics was originally installed using the methods described at http://www.warp1337.com/content/compile ... -910-howto and PAL was attempted unsuccessfully via methods described at http://www.adrianboeing.com/pal/install_generic.html, although still not working further progress was made with steps outlined at http://willkamp.blogspot.com/2009/04/co ... r-pal.html. This last reference states that the methods described on PAL's own website are inadequate and outdated (the premake method), in favor of the "newer" install tool known as cmake. Using CMAKE instead of PREMAKE seems to all the fix the HULL.cpp errors.

Again, bullet-physics installs fine (as far as I can tell). This time using multiple core/CPU option as mentioned on the new link.

Any thoughts?
