编译Panda3D

  从 http://panda3d.org 下载完整的源代码 panda3d- 1.3.2 .zip ，解压缩到文件夹（以 D:/panda3d- 1.3.2 为例），编译说明在 D:/panda3d-1.3.2/doc 。

        Panda3D提供两套独立的编译方法： ppremake和makepanda，前者十分复杂，后者较简单，且前者正被后者所取代。那毫无疑问我们用makepanda。两种编译方法的详细描述见doc下的INSTALL-PP 、INSTALL-MK。

        makepanda目前支持VC7.1，VC7.0和Visual Toolkit 2003（后两个没试），因为源代码包里只提供用VC7编译的第三方库，所以你要用VC8的话应该需要VC8编译的第三方库。DirectX SDK、Python、Maya SDK、Max SDK都不是必须的，我只安装了VS.net 2003。最简单的方法是命令行：D:/panda3d- 1.3.2 >makepanda/makepanda --everything，回车（注意一定要在源码根目录下）。我的机器（奔腾D 2.8G ，内存 1G ）大约一个小时编译完。

    如果你同时安装了VS.net2003和VS2005的话，要将makepanda/makepanda.py文件“#Try to use Visual Studio 8 ” 和“#Try to use Visual Studio 7 ” 中间那段代码注释掉，否则编译不了。

编译结果显示如下，没找到的SDK都自动给添上--no参数。

    编译产生的文件都在D:/panda3d- 1.3.2 /built下，整个文件夹有1.32GB之巨。接下来测试一下编译结果。D:/panda3d-1.3.2/built/bin下生成的可执行程序比安装版少了maya2egg等几个模型转换工具。将D:/panda3d-1.3.2/built/python和D:/panda3d-1.3.2/built/bin添加到系统Path变量，控制台到目录D:/panda3d-1.3.2/samples/GreetingCard输入命令D:/panda3d-1.3.2/samples/GreetingCard>ppython GreetingCard.py回车，熊猫又出来表演了。方便的话把D:/panda3d-1.3.2/samples拷贝到D:/panda3d- 1.3.2 /built下，删除tmp文件夹，把D:/panda3d-1.3.2/built下所有内容拷贝到某个你喜欢的地方如C:/panda3d，删除其他文件就可以了，还有别忘了重设Path。
