Compiling ODE on windows without Visual Studio (for PyODE)
Question: I'm new to compiling programs written by someone else, so I hope I'm not
missing anything obvious.

What I am really trying to do is install PyODE, and I think I managed that
just fine, but when running the PyODE examples I get an error:

    
    
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "C:\Python26\pyode-examples\tutorial3.py", line 12, in <module>
        import ode
    ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
    

which assume means that it can't find ODE installed. I thought PyODE came
bundled with ODE but I guess not.. so now I'm trying to compile ODE according
to these instructions:
<http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Manual_%28Install_and_Use%29>

but they all seem to revolve around creating configuration files for visual
studio which I don't have.

Could someone please clue me in on the proper procedure here? Thanks! :) -Leav


Answer: My Problem was completley unrelated to whether or not you could compile ODE
without visual studio.

Simply copied ODE.dll which was in the python directory into the example's
directory.

Thanks Thomas! :)
