set LIB_SUFFIX to the bit u need (32/64).
set PHYSX_ROOT to the directory containing the dirs “Lib” and “Include”.
set PHYSX_LIB_SUFFIX for CHECKED, PROFILE or “”
PHYSX_INCLUDE_DIR holds the include dir.
LIBS_PHYSX holds all libs needed.
U need to link way to more libraries than really need, to compile a simple program.

Took me some time to find out that the documentation is wrong about needing only “libPhysX3 and libPhysX3Common”
Had another problem with the macro _DEBUG which is MS stuff but is needed by physx.
#ifndef NDEBUG
# if !defined _DEBUG && defined USE_PHYSX
# define _DEBUG 1 // for physx
# endif
#else
Hope that helps some non MS people :)
Have fun
