To build PhysX and APEX SDKs:
(1) Build PhysX SDK by opening one of the solutions found under PhysX_3.4\Source\compiler. Supported platforms: Windows, Linux, OSX, Android, iOS
(2) The APEX SDK distribution contains pre-built binaries supporting GPU acceleration. Re-building the APEX SDK removes support for GPU acceleration. The solutions can be found under APEX_1.4\compiler. Supported platform: Windows, Linux, Android
To build PhysX Snippets: open one of the solutions found under \PhysX_3.4\Snippets\compiler.
To build PhysX Samples (windows only): open one of the solutions found under \PhysX_3.4\Samples\compiler.
To build APEX Snippets: open one of the solutions found under \APEX_1.4\snippets\compiler.
To build APEX Samples: open one of the solutions found under \APEX_1.4\samples_v2\compiler.
