ode formula doesn't include drawstuff

[sheim]

Hi, I noticed the formula for installing ode (Open Dynamics Engine) doesn't include any options to build with drawstuff, a visualization tool commonly packaged with ODE. Is there any reason not to have this?
Would be great if this could be added imho, as some people have done: https://gist.github.com/yuya-oc/3208758

If there's a specific reason not to, is there a recommended alternative way of doing this? And why?

Do you mind making a pull-request?

I'll see. The one I linked isn't mine, and I've never done this before.
In the ODE installation instructions, it specifically says to use --disable-demos (which also removes drawStuff), and I'm looking into why, since it doesn't actually seem necessary. It might just be obsolete instructions, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks!

According to the Wiki we'll need to add an optional x11 dependency if we enable the demos:

DrawStuff requires OpenGL, and X11 on Mac OS X

[sheim]

I can install from source manually, without the flag (currently included in homebrew) "--disable-demos", and it works. It build drawstuff as well as a demos folder.

I modified the brew formula and removed the "--disable demos" by default, and also tried adding "--with-demos", and it seems to run the correct configuration step (brew install runs ./configure --with-demos), but not drawstuff and demo folders do not appear anywhere in /usr/local/Cellar/ (they should be in the ode/0.13.1/ folder, if it's the same as installing manually).

I'm a bit stumped at this point.

Do you have XQuartz installed out of curiosity?

It's unlikely the upstream Makefile installs demos by default, most don't. You'd need to do something like pkgshare.install "/path/to/demos"

[sheim]

I do have XQuartz installed.

I downloaded directly from the same bitbucket url that is saved in the brew formula.

@sheim Might be worth creating a pull request as it's easier for us to help you debug the code then.

I'll get back to you soon, sorry, I'm at a conf in China, hard to get
through the firewall...
