Collada

Introduction

I am investigating the collada format. I just wanted to take notes.

FCollada

This is an open source library for parsing colada files. Feeling Software puts it out. Here is the download page. Or download it here on EDGE.

Prerequisites

* DevIL (imaging)
  * [cg1.5][3] (nvidia)
  * [scons][4] (replacement for make)

Build It

% apt-get install libdevil-dev ; # installs libdevil1c2 too
  % apt-get install scons
  % wget  wget <http://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/Cg_1.5/1.5.0/Cg-1.5_x86.tar.gz>
  % tar xvfz Cg*
  root> cp -r usr/* /usr

  % mkdir fcollada 
  % cd fcollada
  % unzip [FCollada_FREE_3.05B.zip][2]
  % cd FCollada
  % scons target=1 debug=1
