Building the testbed (Mac OSX)
Let's look at the process of setting up the default 'testbed'which is part of the Box2d source code base. The testbed is a veryuseful tool which contains examples of various features which you caninteract with using the mouse, adjust parameters, pause and step thesimulation etc.
The simplest way to build the Box2D library is to use the cmake filewhich is included in the source code download. For this you will need the cmake tool,which you can download from here, andXCode which you can download from Apple's developer site(developer.apple.com)after you have registered. When installing cmake be sure to choose the 'Install command line links'option so you can use the tool in a terminal. Since we'll be using cmake, all we really needfor compiling is the gcc compiler itself, but apparently it is notdistributed as a single tool so you'll need to get the whole XCode package(somebody let me know if I'm wrong about that). XCode is also available on the Snow Leopard DVD if you have one.
After installing XCode and cmake, download the Box2D source code archive from here.The rest of theprocess is the same as for linux:
After this you should see that some new folders have been created, oneof which is 'Testbed' and this in turn contains an executable filecalled 'Testbed', so the app can be started like this:You should see the testbed window showing like this:
Select from the drop-down list in the top right to try out the teststhat are currently in the testbed. We will be adding our own items intothis list later on.
