Using blender-2.63 or svn with:

Code:

cmake /usr/src/blender-2.63 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DPYTHON_VERSION:STRING=2.7 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" -DWITH_CODEC_FFMPEG:BOOL=ON -DWITH_CODEC_SNDFILE:BOOL=ON

I get the following error:

Code:

Any hints as to how to fix this would be much appreciated

-DPYTHON_VERSION:STRING=2.7

If you are trying to compile new Blender with Python 2.7, it will not work. You need Python 3.2 or better.

Thanks, I thought I read somewhere that python >= 2.3 would work.

I'll try with python-3.2, or will an earlier version of blender work with python-2.7?

Old Blender ( 2.49 and before) can be build with Python 2 (try 2.6 or 2.7).

New Blender ( 2.50 and later) needs Python 3.2.
