Tuhopuu3 / Linux-amd64 (2005/02/12)

amd64 optimized - will not run on any other architecture
*prays his first build post works out*
No international support or quicktime; couldn't get those to compile. Game engine enabled.

i have no amd64

but i had also trouble with the international support on linux (32 bit). after looking through the code i get out how to compile it. are you interested?

Hi Dracarys, thanks for this !!!

I too run an AMD64 ( using FC3 ), but I keep getting told that libopenal.so can't be found and I can't find an RPM for it... so I was wondering if you would mind doing a build without the game engine ???

Happy1776's builds worked fine ( http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=m ... pic&t=4823 ), but they weren't Tuhopuu and I'd love to see what's new / different.

<rant>

Tried building with Scons a couple of time but gave-up, as it always found something to fail on. :-s

I think us 64-bit people have to band together and release these testing builds, until someone gives Ton ( or Gabio ) an AMD64 !!!

If someone can tell me how to get Scons working right, I happily submit some builds.

</rant>

It's always worked fine for me, just have to disable some stuff (which is disabled by default, I just like as many features as possible; dropping international support was painful, as it's AA fonts were quite nice) that doesn't build properly. IIRC, OpenAL was seperate from the game engine in the config.opts; I'd be happy to rebuild w/o that and post another DL. Atm I'm at a school computer, but I'll try to get a build uploaded within a day or two. Thanks for the feedback!

[edit] johannes, yes, I'd love to have a patch or something for international support. Perhaps you could submit it to tuhopuu's CVS? I'm sure they'd accept it, if you talked to the right person. For now, though, a patch is fine

Thanks!

I think this is a SCons Problem on Linux machines! I don't know if you have the same compile error.

Copy all header files in blender/extern/bFTGL/include to blender/source/blender/ftfont/intern

This is an unaesthetic hack but it worked for me.

Well, I tried it on my AMD64 FC3 linux, and it doesn't find python, but it runs.

What OS supports this build?
How the the game engine performance compared to 32bits compiles?

Hi Arangel, good to here from you - How's things ???

I'm assuming this build only works on the 64-bit version of Fedora Core 3 ( Linux ), but I've not tried other distros ( as Linux has many )... but maybe someone can inform us otherwise.

I don't really use Blender's game engine, but if there's a .blend somewhere you want me to try, just post the URL or something.

After Johannes' input, I'm gonna give Scons another shot over the weekend ( hopefully ), so I guess I'll be posting again soon - All being well it won't be another <rant> next time !!!

Rather predjudiced of you to assume it's FC3 only; I built it on gentoo, but it should work fine on all distros (the amd64 variations therof, of course). Good luck compiling it; I'm gonna give it another try myself with johannes' hack and the latest CVS.

[edit]

forgot to rebuild w/o openAL, but it seems you got it to work anyway. Sorry!

[edit2] johannes, in the latest CVS your fix does not work; compile fails with "Cannot find '-lftgl'" or something like that.

Hi Dracarys,

... you're right, that was predjudiced of me, sorry ( wasn't thinking ) - But I did say, 'maybe someone can inform us otherwise'.

And nope...

Tried Scons ( with Johannes input ), and the bloody thing still won't compile, so I'm still running Happy1776's builds - It seems to fail on the '*button.c' files or something.

A build w/o OpenAL would still be great, if you can spare one at some point, thanks.

ftgl is a library for rendering TrueType fonts in opengl.

What? I said your fix doesn't work. Are you saying that I need to install ftgl?

Panther, yeah, I'll try to build an openal-free version next time I boot Linux.

Hi, my father buy an AMD 64 so I´m really interested in this

Can somebody explain me if this is going to make better render times? and what about Yafray? Its a 3.2 Ghz processor with Windows 64 bits vercion
