Hi Yuan, 
Yes, I built simspark on Windows successfully. Unfortunately, it is not
documented at all. The only needed manual configuration should be
setting some environment variables in Windows so that CMake can find
all required stuff. And there was only one thing that I don't remember
if I fixed that or not: detecting that you are linking with a double
precision build of ODE or single precision and setting appropriate
compiler flag for it. I don't remember what is the current state. You
can try with the other kind of library (if you are linking with a
single precision library, try linking with the double precision library
or vice versa) to see if it solves the problem. I will have a look at
it ASAP. 
But, except the mentioned problem, if I remember correctly you can
build both simspark and rcssserver3d by setting required environment
variables and then running cmake. No tuning in Visual Studio must be
required. I've built and ran simspark successfully in Windows (with
ode-0.11). So, it should work. 
 
Also, I will try to send a brief how-to for it here. Sorry for
inconvenience.  :( 
 
Good luck, 
Hedayat

 <pre wrap="">Hi all,

I tried to build Simspark from source in Windows today, I followed the
steps in [1] basically, but used CMake to generate solution files for
Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition.
The project was build successfully after a lot manually configuration
and copying.
But when I run the simspark, I got assertion from ODE:

"ODE Message 2: mass must be &gt; 0 (h:\nao\ode-0.11.1\ode\src\mass.cpp:49)"

It seems that it caused by ball, since this error disappears after
committing the ball out in soccer.rsg,
but in this case what I got is only a black screen(with text in the
top of screen).

Does anybody have idea about this or have build the simspark in
windows successfully?
Thanks!
