missing static link option

[chriscamacho]

I noticed a error with ODE which was down to the way ODE was compiled on my system, after recompiling ODE I got things working, I'd be much more comfortable if I could statically link in my compilation of ODE so I can be sure it will work and include the features I need on other systems...

It's not missing. I have no plans to support it for DerelictODE. It's only an option for a handful of derelict packages, not all. If you want static linking with ODE, I suggest you try dpp:

I'll have to do something with LD_LIBRARY_PATH i guess, can't rely on some random configuration of ode when distributing binaries...

[mdparker]

Ah, so it's a path issue. I'm happy to update the loader. Just let me know how your system configures the path, if it's Linux, BSD, or OS X, and I'll add that path to the loader.

let me know how your system configures the path

Sorry, I mean let me know where your system installs ODE.

[chriscamacho]

it doesn't (provide ode), not all distro do...
I'm far more comfortable compiling it myself, there are a wide range of config options for ode, often just the one you want is missing...
it's something I'd definitely want to distribute along with my binary...

fortunately it looks for libode.so so...
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./physics
when executing the library is sufficient to load it

I noticed when testing (I uninstalled libode from my system to test above) that its also looking for libode.so.3 using the current release of the source (not git) the version is

ls /usr/local/lib/libode.so*
libode.so libode.so.6 libode.so.6.1.2
