I'm almost sure this issue didn't happen with older versions of the Chipmunk gen. The process of creating an exe with Ocra is successful, but when I try to run it I get the following message:

Ignoring chipmunk-6.1.3.4 because its extensions are not built.  Try: gem pristine chipmunk --version 6.1.3.4

gem pristine chipmunk --version 6.1.3.4 doesn't fix it.

Does anybody know how to make it work?

I made it work with chipmunk-ffi but there were some new problems:

1 - I get a bunch of undesired double/triple hits being handled despite my game checking and handling them (I don't have this problem with the chipmunk gem, but it is no big deal since I can probably fix it in my collision callbacks).
2 - I get runtime errors now and then (can't understand the reason since it appears to be random, with the game behaving differently each time I run it, without code changes. Probably need another .dll for chipmunk?).

It also required me to add some simple functionalities to the Shape classes, which makes me think chipmunk-ffi may be outdated compared to chipmunk gem.

Any ideas?

ps.: I'm using the dreaded Windows 10 Home 64bits with Ruby 2.0.0p576 and Gosu 0.10.8

Hi there rremedio,

The older versions of the chipmunk gem were cross compiled and published as binaries for Windows. As the only person that has touched maintenance on the chipmunk gem, I dropped the pre-built binaries for version 6. I'd love to add them back in, but I do not have time to do so.  Feel free to file an issue here: https://github.com/beoran/chipmunk  If you or someone else wants to pick up that torch, let me know.

Also, I am the creator of chipmunk-ffi as well (built as a research project into FFI, not really great for games since FFI cannot use static inlines). If you file issues on github, I'll try to help with any errors.

I'd like to help, but I don't have too much time myself. Maybe I can look into it (and learn how to do it) later this year.

Thanks for your work in both chipmunk gems!

I had a problem that I couldn't make an Ocra executable with Chipmunk. What I did was just copying the chipmunk.so file to my project and including it like normal source file. Works with 6.1.3.4

Thanks! It worked like a charm.
