  22 To build PhysX and APEX SDKs:
  23
  24 (1) Build PhysX SDK by opening one of the solutions found under PhysX_3.4\Source\compiler.
  25 Supported platforms: Windows, Linux, OSX, Android, iOS
  26
  27 (2) The APEX SDK distribution contains pre-built binaries supporting GPU acceleration.
  28 Re-building the APEX SDK removes support for GPU acceleration. The solutions can be found under APEX_1.4\compiler.
  29 Supported platform: Windows, Linux, Android
  30 ______________________________________________________________
  31 To build PhysX Snippets: open one of the solutions found under \PhysX_3.4\Snippets\compiler.
  32
  33 To build PhysX Samples (windows only): open one of the solutions found under \PhysX_3.4\Samples\compiler.
  34
  35 To build APEX Snippets: open one of the solutions found under \APEX_1.4\snippets\compiler.
  36
  37 To build APEX Samples: open one of the solutions found under \APEX_1.4\samples_v2\compiler.
