Difficulty Building Blender in Ubuntu 18.04

Josephbburg · April 5, 2020, 4:23pm

Hello, I would like help building Blender for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I’ve followed the instructions here for the Advanced Setup (building the dependencies with install_deps). I have tried deleting the /opt/lib directory and re-building the dependencies. I have gotten Blender to build with make in the past, but I’ve always had a lot of trouble with building on Ubuntu. I can get make lite to build consistently, but very rarely does make or make full work.

I have installed the Optix libraries. I’m not sure if I’ve actually installed CUDA… nor do I know how to do this on Linux. I have never had trouble building on Windows, including CUDA/Cycles.

I am running:
sudo ./install_deps.sh --force-python --force-numpy --force-oidn
because I’ve had difficulty getting certain addons working even in successful builds. I’ve added --force-oidn because I want to try this hack for myself. I added --force-oidn because I noticed that make wasn’t finding the OpenImageDeNoise library.

Here’s the build log:

Also worth noting – it looks like Blender can’t find SDL? I can’t seem to find a package for this, which is odd. It’s also not finding OpenCollada, even though I’m sure install_deps.sh is making that. I used --show-deps to get this list of packages that I should be able to get from my distro:

 Basics of dev environment (cmake, gcc, svn , git, ...).
    * libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, [openjpeg2], [libopenal].
    * libx11, libxcursor, libxi, libxrandr, libxinerama (and other libx... as needed).
    * libsqlite3, libbz2, libssl, libfftw3, libxml2, libtinyxml, yasm, libyaml-cpp.
    * libsdl1.2, libglew, [libglewmx].

Then I tried to install these packages… here’s what I get:

theangerspecialist@theangerspecialist-MS-7B98:~/blender-git/blender/build_files/build_environment$ sudo apt install libjpeg libpng libtiff openjpeg2 libopenal libx11 libxcursor libxi libxrandr libxinerama libsqlite3 libbz2 libssl libfftw3 libxml2 libtinyxml yasm libyaml-cpp libsdl1.2 libglew libglewmx

I’m really at a loss. Any help would be appreciated!

Also, please can someone point me to a how to for this: “If you're using CMake add this to your configuration flags:” I always just use the make command that install_deps generates for me, but I want to do it the right way.

(could not add as edit due to character limit)
EDIT: Thank you brecht for moving this to the right category. Sorry about that

brecht · April 5, 2020, 5:23pm

Any reason not to use quick setup with precompiled libraries? It should sidestep all these problems.

Josephbburg · April 5, 2020, 5:32pm

stubborness!
I want to learn to do the more advanced things, because I’m trying to get better at computer-science stuff (I have no formal education, so I try to learn by doing).
I’ve tried this in the past, I think I had some problems. … but I’ll go ahead and try again and post the results here.
It seems like this should work if I follow the instructions, so maybe I can help improve the instructions if I’m doing something wrong on accident, or if there are special cases.

Will using pre-compiled libraries work with the Optix libraries I installed in /opt?

Josephbburg · April 5, 2020, 5:44pm

I have renamed my /opt/lib directory so that make can no longer find it, checked-out the svn repo in ~/blender-git/lib, run git add -A and git stash and then make clean in the blender repo (~/blender-git/blender), then finally make.

Here is the result:

I’m sure I must have had these errors in the past and given up on the pre-compiled libraries. I have had at least some success making the dependencies.
I’m trying make lite right now.
Edit: make lite results in a successful build.

Thanks

Instructions for CUDA and Optix are here. This configuration is entirely separate from the other libraries.
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/CUDA

For install_deps.sh I’ll leave it to someone else to help.

brecht · April 5, 2020, 5:45pm

If you switch between using install_deps.sh and precompiled libraries, you basically need to remove the build folder or CMakeCache.txt entirely to get a clean configuration.

LazyDodo · April 5, 2020, 5:46pm

Building things from source (or even using the disto’s binary packages) there will always be issues, the environment can just subtly different between distributions to break stuff, you’ll never have a guide that will cover every possible thing that can go wrong that does not like the unabombers manifesto and will not be incomplete within a couple of days, linux is just a very fast moving target in some distros

Which is one of the reasons we started providing precompiled libraries, time spend on supporting people building blender kinda spiraled out of control, and there is only a limited number of developers available.

People going, yeah well, “spend time helping me do the advanced thing anyway cause it feels like a fun thing to do” doesn’t seem like a super great use of our rather limited resources, not saying we won’t offer any support, but it be very limited.

When you switch from install_deps.sh to the svn libs, it’s best to remove your complete build folder, cmake tends to hold on to things.

Josephbburg · April 5, 2020, 5:55pm

Does doing a git stash not remove these? I will remove them manually then.

Thanks! I hope I’m not guilty of this. I figure if I can’t get Blender to build without difficulty, I won’t be much good when it comes to actually modifying or contributing to it! But the pre-compiled builds seem to be doing something now that I’ve removed the build folder. Perhaps I could have made the install-deps work if I had tried this, too?

Is there a thread somewhere that discusses when to build the dependencies and why? Is it best to always use pre-compiled builds?

And also… It worked! Hooray!

Thanks @brecht and @LazyDodo for the help!

LazyDodo · April 5, 2020, 6:02pm

Git only manages the source folders, your build folder should be outside the source folder hence not managed by git.

Josephbburg · April 22, 2020, 10:21pm

Hey! Not sure why your comment was flagged as spam (maybe because you should have opened your own thread?) But you can build the current 2.83 by checking out the 2.83 branch from the git repo. You can check the branch out by git checkout blender-v2.83-release Now if you want an exact, byte-for-byte Blender 2.83, there are scripts in the build files that will make it the way the buildbot does, but that’s something that you’ll have to ask around for more info about, since I don’t really know.
