Configuring the FBX SDK for Linux

Downloading and installing FBX SDK

To download and install FBX SDK for Linux:

Go to http://www.autodesk.com/fbx.
Navigate to the Downloads page, and follow any instructions.
Find the distribution file of FBX SDK 2014.0 for Linux.
Download the distribution file to your computer. The distribution file is a compressed tar file (.tar.gz).
Extract the contents of the file to a new directory that we call <yourFBXSDKpath>, your distribution directory for FBX SDK.
Follow the instructions in <yourFBXSDKpath>\Install_FbxFileSdk.txt.
Read <yourFBXSDKpath>/readme.txt. This readme.txt file contains detailed information about changes in FBX SDK since the previous version, as well as any last-minute documentation.

Runtime libraries for Linux

These are the names of the runtime libraries for Linux:

<yourFBXSDKpath>\lib\gcc4\x86\libfbxsdk-2014.0-static.a	gcc 4.0 compiler, static library, release, 32-bit
<yourFBXSDKpath>\lib\gcc4\x86\libfbxsdk-2014.0-staticd.a	gcc 4.0 compiler, static library, debug, 32-bit
<yourFBXSDKpath>\lib\gcc4\x64\libfbxsdk-2014.0.so	gcc 4.0 compiler, dynamic library, release, 64-bit
<yourFBXSDKpath>\lib\gcc4\x64\libfbxsdk-2014.0d.so	gcc 4.0 compiler, dynamic library, debug, 64-bit

Use sample makefiles as a guide

You will find sample programs in <yourFBXSDKpath>\samples\ (see Sample Programs). Each sample program contains a makefile. Use one of these makefiles as a model for your own project.
