Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. All devs installed. For openCollada, I manually looked and found the include files the compile said was missing, tried various settings in the user-config.py to no avail. Here's the user-config.py:

Code:

WITH_BF_OIIO = True WITH_BF_BOOST = True WITH_BF_OPENMP = True WITH_BF_FFTW3 = True WITH_BF_GAMEENGINE = True WITH_BF_OPENEXR = True WITH_BF_FFMPEG = True WITH_BF_OPENAL = True WITH_BF_JACK = True WITH_BF_SNDFILE = True WITH_BF_SDL = True WITH_BF_DDS = True WITH_BF_BULLET = True WITH_BF_FREETYPE = True WITH_BF_COLLADA = True BF_OPENCOLLADA_INC = '/usr/include/opencollada' BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIBPATH = '/usr/lib/opencollada' BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIB = 'COLLADAStreamWriter COLLADASWStreamWriter COLLADASaxFrameworkLoader COLLADAFramework COLLADABaseUtils GeneratedSaxParser UTF MathMLSolver pcre buffer ftoa' BF_PCRE_LIBPATH = '/usr/lib' BF_EXPAT_LIBPATH = '/usr/lib' WITH_BF_PLAYER = True WITH_BF_3DMOUSE = True WITH_BF_QUICKTIME = True BF_QUICKTIME_INC = '/usr/include' WITH_BF_RAYOPTIMIZATION = True WITH_BF_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES = True BF_CYCLES_CUDA_NVCC = '/opt/cuda/bin/nvcc' BF_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES_ARCH = ['sm_13', 'sm_20', 'sm_21'] BF_DEBUG = False BF_NUMJOBS = 1

Tried /usr/include and /usr/include/opencollada with no effect. The user-config.py is getting parsed because I was able to enable and disable CUDA via that file and that worked fine. But it's like the scons is completely ignoring anything I do with setting the paths for Collada. Also, the BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIB in linux-config.py has OpenCOLLADA... rather than COLLADA... which the actual files are named - but I tried either way with no avail. Surely it's something simple - after all the official releases has it built in.

For MOV support, I have the Ubuntu Quicktime dev files. But it's acting like nothing's there. Not entirely sure what else I need to get that to compile in. When I disable both of those in my user-config.py, everything builds just fine. But I'd like to be able to import dae files and export to MOV files...

I dropped Ubuntu's rubbish and downloaded OpenCollada from the SVN and compiled that directly, per instructions on this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Kazanbas/Building_Collada_Branch

I updated my user-config.py to this:

Code:

WITH_BF_OIIO = True WITH_BF_BOOST = True WITH_BF_OPENMP = True WITH_BF_FFTW3 = True WITH_BF_GAMEENGINE = True WITH_BF_OPENEXR = True WITH_BF_FFMPEG = True WITH_BF_OPENAL = True WITH_BF_JACK = True WITH_BF_SNDFILE = True WITH_BF_SDL = True WITH_BF_DDS = True WITH_BF_BULLET = True WITH_BF_FREETYPE = True WITH_BF_COLLADA = True BF_OPENCOLLADA_INC = '/home/mikev/Documents/CreativeTools/Blender/OpenCollada-SVN/opencollada' BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIBPATH = '/home/mikev/Documents/CreativeTools/Blender/OpenCollada-SVN/opencollada' BF_PCRE_LIBPATH = '/usr/lib' BF_EXPAT_LIBPATH = '/usr/lib' WITH_BF_PLAYER = True WITH_BF_3DMOUSE = True WITH_BF_RAYOPTIMIZATION = True WITH_BF_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES = True BF_CYCLES_CUDA_NVCC = '/opt/cuda/bin/nvcc' BF_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES_ARCH = ['sm_13', 'sm_20', 'sm_21'] BF_DEBUG = False BF_NUMJOBS = 1

It no longer complains about missing include files. However, once it gets to linking everything together, I get a ton of errors like this:

Code:

/home/mikev/Documents/CreativeTools/Blender/Blender-SVN/build/linux/lib/libbf_collada.a(GeometryExporter.o):GeometryExporter.cpp:function GeometryExporter::operator()(Object*): error: undefined reference to 'COLLADASW::LibraryGeometries::closeGeometry()' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Also figured out that the Quicktime option was for Microsoft users and that FFMPEG handled things for Linux users, so that's no longer an issue.

So, it was two steps forward and one back. Will continue digging around, but am open to suggestions.

Undefined references mean the linker is not finding something. Usual causes are either bad library paths or the wrong library name. A third possibility is a version mismatch.

Thanks. Obviously the INC path is correct or it wouldn't even get that far. When I don't have it set, it fails to even compile, so it's definitely looking at the INC directory I supply. The LIB path is the same, or should be since I compiled it from their SVN. I'll remove the Ubuntu version altogether just in case that's interfering somehow. I'll play with it a bit. It's not critical that I have OpenCollada support, but just a curious problem I'd like to track down and fix.

That was it. I changed

Code:

BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIBPATH = '/home/mikev/Documents/CreativeTools/Blender/OpenCollada-SVN/opencollada'

to

Code:

BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIBPATH = '/home/mikev/Documents/CreativeTools/Blender/OpenCollada-SVN/opencollada/lib'

and it compiled and I have the import/export option for Collada now.

My working user-config.py is now:

Code:
