Whats ur hardware like, i dont wanna be nosy and stuff, its just so i have a rough idea of how efficient the addon is and how it will perform on mine.

[@pixel_vengeur391]

To anyone having problems when compiling: - If you type "make" in the command line, it should return something along the lines of "No specified target [...]". If not, you have a problem with GNUMake. Check if it's in your %PATH% variable. If not, add it manually, close your terminal, and try again. - If you type "cmake" you should get a little blurb beginning with "Usage [...]". If not, check if cmake is in your %PATH%. If not, add it manually, close and open a new terminal, and try again. - (On Windows) It might be that the build script is looking for "minwg32-make" and not "make". If that 's the case (unlikely), install that, close your terminal, and try again. Those are the fixes that i applied to get my install working. I can't promise they'll work for you. Also, Mixbox is not supported if you compile from Github.

[@dpdbpdbpdbpddpdpddbbbdpdbdppdp]

that I have to add exactly in %PATH% (in both cases)

to make "make"(GNU make) work on win10, I had to add a variable in Environment Variables. variable "make", value C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\make.exe then there is variable "path" in there, edit it and add new line C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\

What you are talking about is buoyancy. Sadly, FLIP cannot simulate buoyancy right now.

you can shrinkwrap a plane to the water surface(plane need some loopcuts) then parent the object to the plane.

limitations except for mixbox

Yes you miss out on the custom material library, so I'm my opinion the commercial version is still better, but if you don't have the means to afford it right now you can compile it yourself and get 90% of the features for a little bit of extra work on your part.
