for silencing those warnings, one can turn OFF boost, if not required wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Options#Editing_CMake_Options

almost every library is giving errors… Why don’t you try Cmake’s latest version ?http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Even after updating cmake it’s giving the same error :zipper_mouth_face:

Precompiled libraries for Linux, aren’t yet very stable. It requires some manual patching to the patch itself. You may have better luck when combining running make deps and install_deps.sh. The install_deps.sh adds the missing libraries to opt/libs, but some may fail like ilmbase (download longer exists), if that happens, you can use make deps, and copy some of those libraries to opt/libs.

Hi, I run into the same problems with the prebuild libraries but got it to build with some tweaking.
Here is the tread with some steps we try: Linking errors with prebuild libs on Linux
There is a patch in the works but not finished atm. https://developer.blender.org/D6888
I had a working build system with mixed libraries from make deps script, system and self build libs but is really a mess and not comparable to the release builds or build bot builds.

CHeers, mib

Since I was unable to build blender on ubuntu I built it on windows :slight_smile:

Hi, when do you try on Linux?
It is all fixed now in master with the prebuild libraries, delete the the build_linux directory to make sure all is clean.

Cheers, mib
