cocos2d-x failed to build on Windows due to fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bullet/LinearMath/btIDebugDraw.h': No such file or directory

[KarenHuang2016]

Environment:
Windows Server 2012 R2 + VS2015 Update 3 + cocos2d-x v3 branch latest srouce code

We tried to build cocos2d-x on Windows. It failed due to fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bullet/LinearMath/btIDebugDraw.h': No such file or directory. This issue is caused by v3 branch revision 4ce443b . It seems the cl command lacks the include path for btIDebugDraw.h. Could you please take a look at this? Thanks in advance!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. git clone --recursive https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git D:\Cocos2dx\src
2. Open a VS 2015 x86 command prompt and browse to D:\Cocos2dx\src
3. python download-deps.py -r None
4. cmake -G "Visual Studio 14" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0.14393.0 ..\src
5. msbuild /m /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=Win32 build_x86\Cocos2d-X.sln /t:Rebuild

Actual result:

I changed the CocosUsePrebuiltLibs.cmake file this way at

cocos2d-x/cmake/Modules/CocosUsePrebuiltLibs.cmake

Line 20 in 42c2ff2

set(_bullet_libs BulletDynamics libBulletDynamics BulletCollision libBulletCollision BulletMultiThreaded libBulletMultiThreaded LinearMath libLinearMath MiniCL libMiniCL)

if(WINDOWS)
  if (${MSVC_VERSION} EQUAL 1900 OR ${MSVC_VERSION} GREATER 1900)
    set(_bullet_libs bullet libbullet-2015)
 else()
   set(_bullet_libs bullet libbullet)
 endif(${MSVC_VERSION})
else()
  # sequence is important
  set(_bullet_libs BulletDynamics libBulletDynamics BulletCollision libBulletCollision BulletMultiThreaded libBulletMultiThreaded LinearMath libLinearMath MiniCL libMiniCL)
endif(WINDOWS)

Change the line

cocos2d-x/cmake/Modules/CocosUsePrebuiltLibs.cmake

Line 206 in 42c2ff2

${_root}/prebuilt/${PLATFORM_FOLDER}/release-lib

to ${_root}/prebuilt/${PLATFORM_FOLDER}/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}-lib

And also changed folder names in external/bullet/prebuilt/win32/debug and release to debug-lib and release-lib

Now the cmake have support Windows MSVC compiler, you can have a try using GitHub latest code(4675ee7 and later)

please close this issue @minggo
