bf-blender Linux glibc 2.2.5 static + dynamic

Michel · Post by **Michel** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 6:57 pm

Hey,

A test build with all updates up until april 6th (yes, I know, that's yesterday) is available on the link below. Please test. These builds have been made on the system I normally use to build the official Blender binaries for Linux. If something is wrong, it most likely will be wrong when Blender is released

Main purpose was for me to be sure I had all the necessary libraries correctly on the system.

Features available:
- Release build system used. (Still with Makefiles)
- Game engine
- Internationalization support
- FreeType2 font support
- OpenAL in Game engine
- Python 2.3.2 (Yes, Blender 2.33 will use this version of Python. No more support for Python 2.2.x)

Note: I renamed the packages manually, but the content unpacks as if it were Blender 2.32. So beware not to overwrite the official Blender 2.32 version on your system!

Get them here

With regards,
Michel

Hello

I've got a seg fault either with the dynamic and the static versions
in a Mandrake 10

try mine please, it's under this, actually it's a 04/07 build, dynamic, and has the same things compiled in, except for the python, I'm not sure about that.
I'm not advertising, but really curious. O, and it's built with scons.

Hi Erufailon

well, your build works quite well and some demos I've tried seems to work fine too
Thank you

Hi,

when do you get a segfault? At startup, doing some modelling, running a Python script, rendering, ....? Please, give some more insight.

With regards,
Michel

Wohoo!!! Michel, you're my hero!!

Running it (static) on Mandrake 10 Community: no problem whatsoever. (so OTO's segfault is probably related to something else....)

Still haven't played a lot with it though I'm especially interested in the 2.3 Python implementation.... Played around a bit with Flippyneck's Twist and Taper script. This is the only one I have that registers in the menus.... (will have to dig find some more...) I realise that Twist&Taper does not use the full Puython install....

well, I hope it will not be like this on the final version..

this is what I got:

[basse@kone ~/blender-2.32-linux-glibc2.2.5-i386] $ ./blender
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Segmentation fault

.b

Hi again

I only get "import site failed" and a seg fault at startup

It's weird, cause I've tried all the builds available and even tohupu and they
work
Bye

ugh, that's not good indeed.

What python version have you installed on your system? From blender 2.33 onwards, we'll use Python 2.3.x in the release. So you need to update the python version on your system. This will result in a conflict with the blender versions up to 2.32 - I know.

Weird thing is, I don't get the segfault. I will try to investigate this problem further.

With regards,
Michel

Try this... in an xterm, type;

export PYTHONHOME="/usr"
/path/to/blender

If blender runs without complaints, you can put the 'export PYTHONHOME="/usr"' string into your ~/.bash_profile to have it set automatically every time you login.

As for the segmentattion fault, i'm also getting the same error whenever i try to render with yafray using latest test build.

I've got exactly the same thing with RH 9.0. After set PYTHONHOME the segmentation faullt is again here but the error reduce to:

------------------------------
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Segmentation fault
-------------------------------

I've try other ( good and falses ) values for PYTHONHOME and results are identics.

OK, I find solution for RH.9, PYTHONHOME do nothing and can be empty, just do this:

If echo $PYTHONPATH print nothiing:

export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python2.2/"

If echo $PYTHONPATH print something:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python2.2/

Of course fot python2.2 version, for other versions may be you have to change the last directory in this sample.

With this blender start, i can hope it's work.
