How to include Box2d with v3.17?

cocos2d-x C++
#21

Thank you! It works!

#22

Iā€™m now experiencing this issue as well with version 3.17 and it seems that the Box2d headers were removed from the /external/ folder. The only Box2d file I can find in the cocos project is /Frameworks/libbox2d.a. So the previous suggestion to add a search path to a header which no longer exists cannot work.

Just download Cocos2dx v3.17 from the download section of this website. there is a ā€œ/external/Box2Dā€ folder. 100%!

I added two lines in Android.mk
ā€¦
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += $(LOCAL_PATH)/ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/cocos2d/external/Box2D/include
ā€¦
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES := box2d_static
ā€¦

itā€™s the same for xcode projects. add box2d paths to ā€œHeader Search Pathsā€ + If you cant find the Box2d folder in your project navigatorā€¦ you had also to add the folder to your project)

Enable Box2D in your Project:
xcode: CC_ENABLE_BOX2D_INTEGRATION=1 (search for ā€œPreprocessor Macrosā€ under Build Settings)
android: APP_CPPFLAGS += -DCC_ENABLE_BOX2D_INTEGRATION=1 (Application.mk)

In your Code use it like : #include "Box2D/Box2D.h"

it works!

Has anyone included Box2D for a Mac project?
On iOS it works for me:

But when i try to compile in Mac, iā€™ve the same problem:

#include <Box2D/Box2D.h>

'Box2D/Box2D.h' file not found

It should work for Mac also.
Please check what that include is added for Mac project settings.

#26

Mac project settings?
Where?

#27

Select target Mac and then check project settings

Hmmā€¦
In Build Settings > Header Search Paths i added
$(PROJECT_DIR)/../cocos2d/external/Box2D/include

I added it in the scheme MyGame-desktop instead of the scheme MyGame-mobile.
Is that what youā€™re trying to say?
If yes, it doesnā€™t work.

Iā€™m using CocoaPods in the project. In Podfile i configured only MyGame-mobile.
But box2d is another thingā€¦ (no pods).

Sure. Itā€™s a setting problem in my projectā€¦ iā€™m sure.

@dimon4eg you could reproduce my error creating a new cocos project.
In HelloWorld.cpp add this line:

#include <Box2D/Box2D.h>

After that, compile it (in mobile). You will see the error.
Then edit Build Settings > Header Search Paths and add
$(PROJECT_DIR)/../cocos2d/external/Box2D/include

Compile again. It will work.
Now change scheme to MyGame-desktop and compile in your Mac,

You will see the error again.
Andā€¦ thenā€¦ how to fix it on desktopā€¦?

EDIT: adding the header search path in MyGame-desktop, clean & re-build, now works in cpp-example but not in my original projectā€¦ :triumph:

#30

Do you have a Desktop target? Did you add the Box2D path there too?

#31

yep. :confused:

#32

Maybe something with another lib, framework, etcā€¦
