Chipmunk won't compile

Hey,

I am trying to add chipmunk to my game, but it won't compile because it is saying that it cannot find "constraints/util.h".

I am trying to use the chipmunk included with 0.99.0RC cocos2d.

I have looked in the folder and util.h is in include/chipmunk/constraints/ so it is there.

I am also receiving other errors and warnings to do with asm / including { of some sort.

I have it configured to compile C++, because I have open feint in the application and it compiles just fine. The file I am trying to include chipmunk in is also set to .mm extension.

Any help would be appreciated,
Metric

You need to include some directories in the search path.
See the "cocos2d + chipmunk" project as a reference, or create a new cocos2d+chipmunk from the template and place your games files on that template.

I had a feeling it was something like that Riq. I just can't seem to find the directories search path.

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry I'm having the same problem and I just can't work out what to do. Do you mean I need to add something in the build settings?

Where do I find the search path? What do I need to add and where do I need to add it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis

I haven't dealt with this myself - but my guess would be to checkout the search path for a new project from the Chipmunk template and copy that path into your project. Yes, that will be in Get Info for your Target I think in Build Settings.

I'm not sure this is the problem. I created a new cocos2d+chipmunk app then I looked at the Library Search Paths in the Target info but there's nothing there.

I solved the problem by just replacing contraints/util.h with util.h in the chipmunk documents.

But there's more problems with SpaceManager. I downloaded the new version of SpaceManager but it still makes reference to AtlasSprite

In cpAtlasSprite.h I found
```
@interface cpAtlasSprite : AtlasSprite<cpCCNodeDelegate>
{
	CPCCNODE_MEM_VARS;
}
```
and AtlasSpriteManager

which causes a problem.

I've changed them to CCSprite and CCSpriteSheet respectively but it still has a problem with the cpCCNodeDelegate

In cpAtlasSprite.m

when I change AtlasSpriteManager to CCSpriteSheet like this
```
-(id)initWithShape:(cpShape*)shape manager:(CCSpriteSheet*)sm rect:(CGRect)rect
{
	[super initWithRect:rect spriteManager:sm];
```
I get the warning,

CCSprite may not respond to initWithRect:SpriteManager

Any ideas on the problems here?

@Webtopia - I had the same problems with SpaceManager as you described. Take a look at this post from the mobile bros. forum to see if it fixes your problems. It worked for me, although I still get a few warnings.

HTH,
James

@jamessun

To fix those warnings, just add a "default: break;" option to the switch statements that it has warnings on - at least that's what I did.

@davecom - That makes sense... thanks for the tip!

man, i had problems with the "constraints/util.h" thingy too. I've check header search paths in targets, double-cheked file locations etc. for hours - to no avail. arrrg.

Had to resort to deleting the "constraints" part...

i wonder what the problem is (probably small thing somewhere...)

Are you using cocos2d or just trying to add chipmunk into your project? If you loaded cocos2d right, Chipmunk shouldn't have any problems since it's bundled.

I have just started cocos2d and ran into this situation as well. Naturally I googled and ended up here. It seems the answer has not been fully given here, although a hint above brought me to the right place to search, so I'll add it here in case anyone else has problem.

Subject: adding Chipmunk to an existing Cocos2d-iphone project led to errors during compile because "constraints/util.h" is missing.
Solution:
Since during the "Add to Project" phase, I added Chipmunk to cocos2d libraries in the "Add To Targets" box.
1) Right click "Targets > cocos2d libraries" and click "Get Info".
2) Scroll down to "Search Paths"
3) In "Header Search Paths" add "Chipmunk/include/chipmunk". Check this path by looking in finder to where XCode put your Chipmunk folder.
4) Compile and in my case it compiles.

Notice I have not added Space Manager yet and also I haven't wrote one single code to work with Chipmunk so yeah =) at least it compiled.
