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 2012.2 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 file contains detailed information about changes in FBX SDK since the previous version, as well as any last-minute documentation.

Use sample makefiles as a guide

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