osx 10.6.6 building vb

[FB3000]

11-03-31 update!
VB build (compiled from revision 35920): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19725436/vb_ins ... 035920.zip
update the script if U download after 2011-03-31!

- susbsurf now works!
- many new things!
- thanks again 4 amazing work Andrey!
----------------------------
HOW TO for B 2.57RC (for revision 35920)
A. You don't need to install/upgrade Python to 3.2 version in Mac OS - its included in "lib/darwin-9.x.universal"

B. Do the same steps 1-4 as it is described in old how-to (below)
- * U can use/copy my user-config.py file (compilation without ffmpeg, for 10.6 64bit )

C. Then run build compilation by:
python vb25-patch/build.py --update_blender --update_patch --datafiles
- this will download and/or update blender sources, "lib/darwin-9.x.universal" sources with all needed dependencies and update patch.
* You could simply run this command every time you want to update Blender
** Check help if you need to override some params:
python vb25-patch/build.py -h

D. after vb is compiled - go to:
cd <blender-install-dir>/<blender-version>MacOS/2.56/scripts/startup/vb25
git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/bdancer/vb25.git

----------------------------
compiled 2011-03-02,
from blender svn 35311 revision
10.6.6, osx 64bit,
build download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19725436/vb_instalki/35311.zip
build details:

- VFB doesnt stops when hitting ESC, cant move VFB window (v-ray bug)
- no FFMPEG
- subsurf crushes mesh export
- UV maping works but can be sometimes broken (blender bug) http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?fu ... group_id=9
- compiled with custom user-config.py file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19725436/vb_ins ... -config.py
--------------------------
OLD (before svn 35311) HOW TO" on osx (if U need to compile from older revision):

1. Make directory and download fe. blender svn 34764 by:
on mac:
svn co https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blen ... nk/blender --revision 34764
IMPORTANT: do everything in fe. user folder - where U own rights to write files without "sudo" command! otherwise terminal will ask U about server username and password for checkout

2. create lib folder and download libraries for my osx version by:
(fe. I choose: PowerPC, Intel 32bit & 64bit 10.5 and later libs path from here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2 ... lender/Mac)
mkdir lib
cd lib
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blen ... .universal

3. I have this folders structure:
blender-build
* blender
* lib (containing the correct version of darwin-X.X.XXXX)

4. then in blender-build copy vb-patch:
git clone git://github.com/bdancer/vb25-patch.git

5.then:
cd blender
Apply patchset:
patch -Np0 -i ../vb25-patch/vb25.patch

6. if U get this error:
Hunk #1 FAILED at 4.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to source/blender/editors/space_api/SConscript.rej
go to: source/blender/editors/space_api/SConscript
and paste:
incs += ' ../../exporter'

so file "SConscript" will look like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
Import ('env')

sources = env.Glob('*.c')

incs = '../include ../../blenlib ../../blenkernel ../../makesdna'
incs += ' ../../windowmanager ../../python ../../makesrna'
incs += ' #/intern/guardedalloc #/extern/glew/include'
incs += ' ../../exporter'
defs = ''

env.BlenderLib ( 'bf_editors_space_api', sources, Split(incs), Split(defs), libtype=['core'], priority=[30] )


7. Copy exporter to source/blender/
cp -Rf ../vb25-patch/exporter source/blender/
If you want project’s great splash image do this:
cp -f ../vb25-patch/splash.png.c source/blender/editors/datafiles

8. Copy to blender folder my own user-config.py (my config is for osx 10.6 64bit without FFMPEG etc)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19725436/vb_ins ... -config.py

9. sudo python scons/scons.py

10. after vb is builded:
cd <blender-install-dir>/<blender-version>/scripts/io/
git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/bdancer/vb25.git

-----------------------------------------------
thanks to Cory & bdancer help

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

What blender revision are you building?

Did you update to the latest vb25-patch?

Was the patching successful? Probably not.
(Bdancer, I just downloaded SVN 35116 and vb25-patch does not patch successfully -- see below)

Did you do the equivalent of this step?
cp -a ../vb25-patch/exporter source/blender/exporter

Bdancer,

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

While Andrey updates vb25-patch, you can manually put in the rejected changes. Assuming yours fails the same way mine did, I just added this line to the file source/blender/editors/space_api/SConscript in the appropriate place designated by the patch file.

incs += ' ../../exporter'

Look in the rej file, then look in the file it was supposed to be editing and it should be pretty easy to find what patch couldn't find.

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

This allowed me to build just fine. However, the current script doesn't work with the current blender trunk r35116. My last successful build was r34764.

No vray renderer is available; This is on the console:

found bundled python: C:\BLENDE~1\_install\BLENDE~4\2.56\python

Thank Cory 4 help, so

blender revision is 35115.
I get the same error when trying to patch:

---------
Added that path to SConscript like that: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19725436/vb_instalki/SConscript
Then VB has compiled but like in your case - there's no vray render option

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

Patch updated.

[FB3000]

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

Thanks Bdancer, i updated all but still there is a problem:

source/blender/editors/space_api/spacetypes.c:62:26: error: exporter_ops.h: No such file or directory
source/blender/editors/space_api/spacetypes.c: In function ‘ED_spacetypes_init’:

pawel:blender pawel$

i dont know maybe im making somethin wrong, will delete all and try again.

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

No vray renderer is available; This is on the console:

Yep, I know this - it will take long time to fix this (its about rna props registration changes); so I plan to fix this in devel branch in few weeks. Sorry it will take so much time.

[FB3000]

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

ok i done this way:
- downloaded the svn
- renamed it to " blender-svn ",
- then export blender-svn blender( that created folder blender)
- aplied patches to that created "blender" folder
- compiled from that

patching went like that:

after that i managed to compile blender with my user-config file but still there is no vray available

Ok no problem andrey. You're doing amazing! You're so dedicated to this project, it's great!

Fb3000, go back to a previous blender revision before the rna changes. I'm using r34764.

[FB3000]

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

Im posting Cory's info how to go back to previous svn version:

it may be useful for others reading the forums. SVN has the capability, just look in the help. Let's see...

From your root, you can run these. Use --dry-run to see what would happen, take it out to actually do it.

svn merge --dry-run -r35115:34764 blender
svn merge --dry-run -r35115:34764 lib\win64

You'll see stuff like this:
--- Reverse-merging r35115 through r34765 into '.':
U intern\bsp\SConscript
D intern\mikktspace
U intern\ghost\intern\GHOST_EventPrinter.cpp
U intern\ghost\intern\GHOST_SystemWin32.cpp
U intern\ghost\intern\GHOST_C-api.cpp
U intern\ghost\intern\GHOST_SystemX11.cpp
U intern\ghost\GHOST_IEventConsumer.h

When done you can run 'svn info' to tell you which revision you're on. If it says 34764, you can run 'svn status' on both blender and your library tree to make sure there aren't any extra files and that it has only 34764.

You can unpatch your tree and go back to whatever is in the svn sources for the current revision.
svn revert -R <tree path>

You can also check out a revision from scratch
svn co -r 34764 <source>

Or compare the current copy to a revision
svn diff -r 34764

------
You probably use windows so i only tried (without that command to libs):
sudo svn merge --dry-run -r35131:34764 blender
and get this:
svn: '.' is not a working copy

bdancer said I shoul try compile for myself because its not so hard - yeah right

[tinmanjuggernaut]

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

Sorry, my commands were wrong. Instead change into the blender directory, then later into the library directory and specify '.' for the current directory.

To test:
svn merge --dry-run -r35115:34764 .

To actually revert from r35115 to r34764:
svn merge -r35115:34764 .

[FB3000]

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

really thanks Cory for Your help,
I just managed to go back svn with this command (btw. thank's bdancer for patience):
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blen ... nk/blender --revision 34764

then patched all like it was written here: https://github.com/bdancer/vb25-patch/wiki/Compilation

compiled blender but still it has no vray render option.

[tinmanjuggernaut]

Re: osx 10.6.6 building vb

After patching the source, then building, did you copy the export script into blender/2.56/scripts/io/vb25, or do the git clone? If so then you should have either vray renderer or error messages on your console. If errors, what are they?
