Preliminary hack for btRaycastVehicle for bullet 2.75

I don't know if a patch is already in the works, but svn didn't have it yet. I have been trying out python-ogre for a while (like 1.5 weeks trying it to get compiled properly and few days doing some demos) and after colliding some boxes i wanted to make a car, but btRaycastVehicle was excluded, so this needs some testing.

Ok, now to the point. I added constructor to btWheelInfo struct like this:
File bullet-2.75/src/BulletDynamics/Vehicle/btWheelInfo.h

void* m_clientInfo;//can be used to store pointer to sync transforms...
+ btWheelInfo(){}
btWheelInfo(btWheelInfoConstructionInfo& ci)


You also have to put ::btRaycastVehicle::setRaycastWheelInfo to the exclude list in python-ogre/code_generators/bullet/generate_code.py because it is only in header.
Maybe i should have done some testing before posting here
No patch yet though.
(I'm probably slow to respond to this forum, sry )

Maybe try something like this (untested), if it works OK I'll submit to the tracker:

So far my hack seems to work, but i didn't see that 'noncopy' exclude list though at first. I'll try your patch too.

Also needs to be patched:

Should build with svn version of python-ogre wrapper code generator.

Not sure why you need to add the default constructor to the bullet header -- should be fine without it OR the noncopyable setting should solve any issues you have with the code generation...

If you could try it with the noncopyable (and without the bullet patch) and let me know how it goes -- also I'd really appreciate any test code you happen to have that I could add to the SVN

Many Thanks
Andy

Ah, ok. Currently compiling without the bullet patch and with noncopy and so far so good.
I'll try to do a 'simple' demo with numeric output only, but i'm still learning

Edit: Yep, seems to work for me.
