physxv5.5.0

Updated

The NVIDIA PhysX SDK is a scalable multi-platform physics solution supporting a wide range of devices, from smartphones to high-end multicore CPUs and GPUs. This is the latest NVIDIA official version of the PhysX engine which also directly integrates into Omniverse. This port is NOT officially supported by NVIDIA.

#Usage

[Sample port usage]
physx provides CMake targets:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)

find_package(unofficial-omniverse-physx-sdk CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE unofficial::omniverse-physx-sdk::sdk)

# Optional: import the defined target to copy over the GPU acceleration libraries (3rd party provided by NVIDIA)
if(TARGET unofficial::omniverse-physx-sdk::gpu-library)
    if(UNIX)
        # Add rpath setting to find .so libraries on unix based systems
        set_target_properties(main PROPERTIES
            BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH TRUE
            INSTALL_RPATH "$ORIGIN"
        )
    endif()
    add_custom_command(TARGET main POST_BUILD
                    COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
                    $<TARGET_FILE:unofficial::omniverse-physx-sdk::gpu-library>
                    $<TARGET_FILE_DIR:main>)
    if(WIN32)
        add_custom_command(TARGET main POST_BUILD
                        COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
                        $<TARGET_FILE:unofficial::omniverse-physx-sdk::gpu-device-library>
                        $<TARGET_FILE_DIR:main>)
    endif()
else()
    message(WARNING "GPU acceleration library target not defined - GPU acceleration will NOT be available!")
endif()
