HOWTO: Compile Blender 2.5 SVN

[caddict]

@infinitybrain, you could try downloading 2.49 from this site:

http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/

just unpack to /usr/local/blender and run the binary from that directory.

Yo, news flash! Blender.org provides 32 and 64 bit binaries (.deb) for months now.

Blender from karmic repos is version 2.49a v.2.5 still under active development...

well... thanks for that... i must have misunderstood something while downloading blender 2.5.. -.-*

In Karmic, Python doesn't need to be compiled. Just install it from the repository:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev

Blender
Paste and save the following:

WITH_BF_FFMPEG = 'true'
BF_FFMPEG_LIB = 'avformat avcodec avutil xvidcore ogg faac faad x264 mp3lame vorbis theora vorbisenc swscale avdevice'
WITH_BF_OPENAL = 'true'
WITH_BF_GAMEENGINE='true'
WITH_BF_FFTW3 = 'true'
WITH_BF_PLAYER='false'
WITH_BF_VERSE='false'
WITH_BF_YAFRAY='false'
BF_PYTHON_VERSION = '3.1'
WITH_BF_JACK = 'true'

Namaste

I do not have any option I can find to save this code.
I have went back and checked that I have all python installed and dependencies.
When running scons, it terminates because of errors.
[/home/a2z/blenderSource/build/linux2/bin/blender] Error 1
help please.

OK,

I am a little confused and have some questions. For the sake of staying on top of new trends but still learning where it all came from, I want to install both Blender 2.49b, and Blender 2.5 Alpha 2 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. With that said, I believe I have done so successfully and installed both. For Blender 2.49b, I installed that using the Synaptic Package Manager, and basically runs by me going to the Terminal and, typing:

blender

Blender 2.49b then launches successfully confirming that it was compiled using Python 2.6.5.

Now, for Blender 2.5 Alpha 2, which I learned that I downloaded the binary for and not the source,I untarred the binary to it into a

source

file in my home directory. I go to the Terminal and have to type:

source ~/.bash_profile

then I type:

echo $PATH

and then the result of that is as I anticipated:

home/myhomefolder/source/blender-2.5-alpha2-linux-glibc27-i686:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

And finally, I just type:

blender

and then I get:

found bundled python: /home/myhomefolder/source/blender-2.5-alpha2-linux-glibc27-i686/.blender/python

Blender 2.5 Alpha2 launches, confirming that it compiled with a bundled Python.,,which in actuality is Python3.1.

In detail to do this,
Basically, I created a .bash_profile file which consists of the path to the binary of Blender 2.5 Alpha2 and placed it in my home directory. And, within that file, I simply typed:

export PATH="/home/myhomefolder/source/blender-2.5-alpha2-linux-glibc27-i686:${PATH}"

My questions are as follow:
1) Do I have to type:

source ~/.bash_profile
echo $PATH

then

blender

each time I want to launch Blender 2.5 Alpha2 from the Terminal instead of Blender 2.49b?
Or is there a better alternative to running both Blender 2.5 Alpha2 and Blender 2.49b?


Any insights and help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am confident there is more than one way to get this done.

Best Regards,

Works great! I installed Blender 2.54 on Ubuntu 10.10 beta without a hitch. One note, one of the packages is wrong. It's not libxvidcore4-dev, it's libxvidcore-dev. That can be confusing because the one without -dev has the 4.

Thanks!

i get errors while compiling blender.
The main problem i face is 'pthread.h not found'

How do i resolve this.
