Collada CLI on linux

[perkins]

So what are the odds of getting the collada converter working on linux, ideally as either a shared library or a simple executable? It happens to be the one format all the tools I'm using support, so it'd be great to get it working with Newton too. It currently resides as a plugin for the newton model editor, which doesn't just compile on linux, and doesn't seem to build dCollada by default anyway. dllmain.cpp for dCollada depends on windows.h, which isn't available on linux...

that module is a plugin ing, has you tried removing the windows.h file.

[perkins]

Yeah, it complains about other missing headers, which I can track down, but eventually fails with wxgtk related stuff. I'm trying to compile just the import and export code and cut out all the graphics stuff, I'll update with how it goes once I'm done.

Okay, I managed to get a stripped version of ColladaImport to compile, I don't think I removed anything critical to its operation. I notice that large sections are commented out, for example ColladaImport::Import does nothing, since it is the only function that takes a filename as an argument, I'm not certain how to go about using this library. Should I maybe go hunting through svn for an older version of it?
