I’ve a good news! I was successful to build Bullet like a static library!
What I was missing is to add this Type = ModuleType.External; to Bullet.Build.cs
However to check if the engine is ready to use Bullet I wrote this function:
#include "btBulletDynamicsCommon.h"
void UWorld::CreatePhysicsScene()
{
// Bullet Test
btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
delete collisionConfiguration;
collisionConfiguration = nullptr;
///collision configuration contains default setup for memory, collision setup. Advanced users can create their own configuration.
SetPhysicsScene(new FPhysScene());
}
Where the building fail with error:

However now I’m a step further, which is a good thing.
