Blender on Fedora Core 2
Just came across the blender app a couple days ago and was wondering if anyone has built it from source on FC2 yet and, if so, what were the snags.
Thx

FC2 final - building problem or just me being newb?
i downloaded the blender-2.33a.tar.gz source file.
extracted it to /home/enablerbr3/
opened up a terminal as user. "cd" into /home/enablerbr3/blender-2.33a/
typed scons and let it do it's thing.
when it finished i ended up with a /home/enablerbr3/build/linux2/ folder with the following folders extern, intern, lin, source. and the following files makesdna, scons-signatures.
yet there was no blender file. when i looked in /home/enablerbr3/blender-2.33a/ the blender execute file was in there.
i'm a newbie to using scons and followed the INSTALL instructions. so did i do something wrong or is that how it was supposed to turn out. i'm also a newbie to linux aswell.
oh the blender execute did work but not all the inport/export plugins showed up. so do i still need to do something else with the /home/enablerbr3/build/linux/ folder or the /home/enablerbr3/blender-2.33a/ folder?

ok heres how I do it on Fedora Core 2
1. on the left you will see CVS
2. make a directory called blender and follow the instructions to download the latest cvs
( you do this from a shell, when you are root)
put in the first line, press enter, when it asks you for a password press enter again
put in the second line and change "modulename" to blender (watch your spelling
)
3. now I assume you have scons installed
4. navigate to /code /blender
5. type in scons and hit enter
6. after awhile, you will have a fresh new blender exec in /code/blender
hope that helps

This is exactly what you should expect. Consider yourself passed for the SCons examenablerbr wrote:i downloaded the blender-2.33a.tar.gz source file.

You have to copy the blender binary into the /home/enablerbr3/blender-2.33a/bin/ directory. This dir contains all you need.

hey im also running off FC2 but im having some problems. Im new to Linux and so far this and Wine are the only Apps I can't install. I unzipped Blender-2.33a.tar.gz to /home/devon/ and typed in the terminal as root cd blender-2.33a/. I then typed scons like enablebr did before but it said bash: scons: command not found. So I went to the directory and found SConstruct and typed it in the command console and it said Permission denied I tried it as devon (not root) and it said the same thing. Am i doing this wrong? I am used to just typing
Code: Select all
./configure
make
make install
Likely this is becausebut it said bash: scons: command not found.
1) You installed scons into the default /usr/local dir.
2) you are running as root who typically does not have /usr/local/bin in PATH.
You do not need to be root to build blender, only to install stuff into system directories.
You did install scons, yes?
