Used libraries

PVLE is based on:

• OpenSceneGraph (OSG) for display and interface.
• Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) for physics simulation.
• Some Boost librairies, one of the best C++ library project.

Optionally, PVLE can also use:

• gettext for internationalization (I18N).
• osgAudio (uses either OpenAL+ogg+vorbis, or FMOD) and for spatial sound. OpenAL-Soft may replace OpenAL, for better compatibility and portability.
• OpenTNL (or simply TNL) for networking (In development).
• cURL (libcurl) for some HTTP request features.

See the 'download and build' page to see how to build PVLE with or without optional dependencies.

Precompiled dependencies

Here are some dependencies of PVLE, compiled from sources. I'll try to keep this page as up-to-date as possible. This page may include dependencies for any compiler or platform. Feel free to contact Sukender if you want to add here a dependency you compiled.

Boost 1.38.0 and 1.39.0

Compiled using bjam. Unzip the archive in your boost directory after having unzipped the source distribution of boost. Please use the partial build if you don't need more, sice it is up-to-date and much smaller.

• Boost 1.39.0 partial binaries Win32 VC8 SP1 32 bits - Partial build (used for PVLE) with only system, filesystem, program_options and serialization (7z - 6.04 MB).
• Boost 1.38.0 binaries Win32 VC8 SP1 32 bits - Complete build (7z - 97.2 MB).
• Environment variables used in PVLE CMake script: BOOST_ROOT, BOOSTROOT

OSG

Files should all be downloaded from the OSG download page on the official web site.

Nevertheless, you can access an "emergency" 2.8.0-rc5 "all-in-one" package (conatining anything, including doxygen generated documentation) hosted elsewhere. Please note this is a release candidate (yet stable).

• OSG 2.8.0-rc5 VC8 SP1 32 bits (Release) (tar.gz - 51.1 MB).
• OSG 2.8.0-rc5 VC8 SP1 32 bits (Debug) (tar.gz - 73.7 MB).
• Environment variables used in PVLE CMake script: OSG_DIR, OSGDIR

ODE 0.11.1

Compiled with standard options, with dynamic linking (DLL), both debug and release, and simple precision only. The archive contains the standard source package and binaries (no examples, no unit tests).

• ODE 0.11.1 VC8 SP1 32 bits Single DLL (Debug and release) (7z - 2.19 MB).
• Environment variables used in PVLE CMake script: ODE_DIR, ODE_PATH

TNL 1.5

• TNL VC8 SP1 32 bits (Debug and Release) (7z - 1.99 MB).
• Environment variables used in PVLE CMake script: TNLDIR, TNL_PATH
