Building 3.6.0 with libraries on Ubuntu 22.04 gives compiler error about OpenImageIO

Building Blender
1

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to build Blender as a python module on Ubuntu 22.04. First of all, the command suggested in the wiki for installing dependencies does not work properly (apt complains about not finding libshaderc-dev).

I resorted to running the make command multiple times and installing manually all the dependencies that came up, but now the build fails around 50% with the following compiler error:

blender/imbuf/intern/oiio/openimageio_support.cc:297:95: error: no matching function for call to ‘OpenImageIO_v2_2::ImageBuf::ImageBuf(const OpenImageIO_v2_2::ImageSpec&, uchar* const&, const stride_t&, long int, const stride_t&)’

Any suggestion about what might be wrong? I only found a similar topic on the forum: it mentions the issue might be with Wayland, but the fix they propose is not applicable to 3.6.0

EDIT I forgot to mention that I also modified the CMakeLists.txt turning OFF precompiled libraries but the result has been similar

If you got an error with libshaderc-dev, I think that means you tried to use the steps from “Advanced Setup” in the build instructions. Any reason you didn’t follow the “Quick Setup” with precompiled libraries? It has a higher chance of success, and will result in a build that is closer to the official releases.

The error here happens because the OpenImageIO version is too old.

Hello and thank you for the answer!

I had downloaded the .tar.xz package with the stable release from blender.org (version “with libraries”) so I thought they were already included and ready to be compiled by the cmake script!

I had missed (it’s not documented in the wiki) the make deps preliminary command.

Anyhow, even then I had to download some of the libraries manually, since the python script would systematically fail, and make deps did not succeed (cmake complained about the hash of usd-v23.05).

Solution: I downloaded the .tar.xz file without libs and followed the instructions from the wiki to checkout the prebuilt libraries from SVN.

Thank you for your help!

On USD : USD released 23.05 and then renamed them selves to OpenUSD which caused a folder change inside their tarball which wasn’t great, but they promised it was a one time thing only. Hash is fixed in 4.0 and a backport is scheduled for 3.6.1
