Fedora Core shouldn't be a problem. I'm using RH9 + a few fedora packages. If you follow a RH9 howto you should be OK.

If it is not working, copy and paste the error message here and someone can give you specific instructions.

Install the development tools(gcc, etc) and XFree86-devel (and possibly some others)
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Or just get the ready built rpm from www.fedora.us

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

if you intend to build cvs blender like that, you won't get very far. auto* has been removed from cvs.

Install all libs blender needs, install python, install scons, checkout cvs, cd into blender dir, run 'scons' (possibly fiddle with the SConstruct script file).

It does it for me on Fedora Core 1 (I'm having other troubles, which I don't think have to do with the way I compile the sources). Using apt-get makes getting libs etc. easy.

Hi,

there should absolutely be no need to fiddle with the SConstruct script file at all. I know there are settings that users may need to adjust to get a correct build, but these settings are all available in the config.opts file which is generated the first time SCons is started. That's where the config.opts file is meant for.

With regards,
Michel

Ok, but did you compile ode, quicktime and fmod in? These I can't get working, no matter what I do. Is quicktime even supposed to work on linux? I mean there is no SDK on apple for linux (or I couldn't find one), and even though there are development library packages for quicktime, blender doesn't want to compile for me.

ode, quicktime and fmod

ODE is not compiling now, since Solid is being put back. There are more code modifications needed to get physics engine choice back in again.

About the others I don't really know.

quicktime support only works on Windows and OS X.

[Erufailon]

thanx.
And what am I supposed to do with fmod? The compiler doesn't seem to link against libfmod.so, and there is no option for it's location in SConstruct. So where does scons look for it? (Not that I so desperately need fmod, but I'm curious )

Use OpenAL

Oops.. ok I learned something here too. I never really did fiddle with that file (SConstruct), I just thought I should have .
