Almost built but failed with "cannot find -lBussIK"

Hi, all:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lBussIK
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
test/SharedMemory/CMakeFiles/Test_PhysicsClientServer.dir/build.make:1042: recipe for target 'test/SharedMemory/Test_PhysicsClientServer' failed
make[2]: *** [test/SharedMemory/Test_PhysicsClientServer] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '....../bullet3/build'
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1394: recipe for target 'test/SharedMemory/CMakeFiles/Test_PhysicsClientServer.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [test/SharedMemory/CMakeFiles/Test_PhysicsClientServer.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '....../bullet3/build'
Makefile:141: recipe for target 'all' failed

Any suggestions?

Can you provide the exact steps to reproduce, including platform (Windows, Linux, Mac, other), compiler, and how you invoke cmake not leaving out any details. Are you using default settings for cmake? I can't reproduce the issue on Windows, Linux or Mac it works just fine.

I'm getting (I think?) the same issue, I'm on windows 10, step by step:

1. git clone https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3.git
2. open cmake-gui
   2.1 set src to bullet3 dir
   2.2 set build to bullet3/msvc/2015
   2.3 configure
   2.4 generator: VS 14 2015 win64 (default native compilers)
   2.5 uncheck BUILD_BULLET2_DEMOS and BUILD_CPU_DEMOS
   2.6 check BUILD_CPU_DEMOS USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL
   2.7 configure
   2.8 generate
3. open BULLET_PHYSICS.sln
4. set configuration to MinSizeRel(doesn't seem to matter, same for release and debug)
5. build->build solution

last few lines of VS output:

26> Generating Code...
26>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'BussIK.lib'

It works with default cmake settings

[erwincoumans]

Then use the default cmake settings :)
2.5 check BUILD_CPU_DEMOS undoes 2.4 uncheck BUILD_CPU_DEMOS?

[M0lion]

meant check USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL

I seem to have fixed it. In the lib folder there was indeed no BussIK.lib, but there was a BussIK_MinsizeRel.lib, so I changed the dependency in Test_PhysicsClientServer from BussIK.lib to BussIK_MinsizeRel.lib. Still couldn't find it, but changing it to ....\lib\MinSizeRel\BussIK_MinsizeRel.lib fixed it.
