Unable to run blender 2.80 in RHEL/CentOS 7

Building Blender

Hi, I have been struggling with this on and off since then.
When I ran the @mon docker I had to remove the “–storage-opt size=20G” cause it gave me an error that I can’t regenerate now cause the whole docker is messed up now. and it fell my root drive completely and chocked it. I tried moving the docker default folder to a secondary Drive using various ways without luck.
the last being Editing the docker.service ExecStart line to look like this ExecStart =/usr/bin/dockerd -g /new/docker/root/dir -H fd:// but I get this error.
"docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

I would really appreciate any help I can get on this.
Thanks everyone for your time and effort.

Do you need to use Docker at all?

If all you want is to make a Blender build, it seems easier to just follow the standard steps:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Linux/Generic_Distro

Or these commands from earlier in this thread:

Thanks. excuse my ignorance as I haven’t built blender from source before. and have some limited experience generally when it comes to building software from source. only had to do it couple of times on some simple tools. will give it a try. will pull the software as per the wiki instructions. then run commands in the quoted post.

Thanks a lot for your help very much appreciated. and also thanks for the amazing work you guys are doing on blender. Ex-Softimage user here started the switch to blender earlier this year :).

Tried following the wiki steps. and first had problems with cmake versions but managed to block yum from updating to old camke. then I faced the following error running the install_deps.sh.
and although I get errors only for the openEXRwhen I run make deps and then make full.
I get a lot of missing libraries. ( SDL2, OpenCOLLADA,Spacenav, OSL, OPENVDB, BLOSC,ALEMBIC, OpenImageIO, LLVM and OpenSubdiv)
tried attaching a text instead of pasting in but couldn’t so I apologise for that.

You could try running with --force-python and --force-numpy to ensure you have a recent enough Python version.

Or try the commands from earlier in this thread instead.

51

will try that. and I did run the commands from the earlier thread.

Thanks

52

did you have any of the deps pre installed. as I ran these and I get this error after the make deps

looks like the openal people moved some stuff around, we’ll have to update the build scripts for that, in the meantime try replacing the url in versions.cmake with http://openal-soft.org/openal-releases/openal-soft-1.19.1.tar.bz2

you either have to fix the diff manually, or wait for us to do it, i’ll probably have time in the next couple of days

I tried installing the libraries and the dependencies manually. but I faced a lot of conflicts as most of them were already installed and updated to the latest available in Centos repos. and updating things out of the supported repos sometimes is very messy. I will keep trying. and if you can update me here when you get the chance to fix this I will e very grateful.
Thanks a lot,
Ahmed

I fixed the open-al link in git just now, should be good to go.

OK, So I have been struggling with this for weeks now with no luck. obviously building blender on Centos is beyond my technical capabilities. the question now should I just abandon ship and jump and leave Centos for another distro? or is it something that will be addressed during beta and release candidates? will we have binaries for RHEL and Centos?

Hi @AhmedBarakat , sorry to see you are having issues.
In the past few days I had issues as well building through the docker, but was only due to some dependency issues. Yesterday night built just fine (cheers devs :slight_smile: )

The benefit of using docker (to me) is that you don’t end up polluting your system for one off built.
now to go back to the @mon docker…

first off ensure you have docker installed running :

docker pull hello-world

if everything is fine then run :

docker run mattiasohlsson/centos-blender-2.8-builder

This should pull and run the build image.

You can then extract the result build with :

  docker cp <your result docker name>:/blender-2.80.0-git20180925.df5cb4d-x86_64.tar.gz ./

hope it helps.
L.

Hi Lorenzo, I appreciate your help and taking the time to put this guide for me.
my problem with the docker was that it filled up my root during the pulling and building. and with no luck I tried moving it’s default folder to my secondary drive I followed 3 different guides I found and non worked.
I guess I will try that again and see.

Thanks again for your support.
Ahmed

@AhmedBarakat, pleasure :slight_smile:
if you have issues with docker space, try running this command:

docker stop $(docker container ls -a -q) && docker system prune -a -f --volumes

please note, this command will cleanup any docker thingy you have around, so be careful.
Let me know how it goes.

I struggled a lot with this with no luck. and I messed up my system with all the libraries I was trying to install. and I discovered I lost too much time over this. so one day I decided to just re-install a fresh system and while I was at it I just decided to switch to Ubuntu. few days into Ubuntu, definitely I miss how solid and stable Centos was. but Ubuntu is more user friendly for sure. apt is a joke compared to yum for me. but will see how it goes. important thing I managed to get all my apps to run and I can download the 2.8 builds again.
Thanks for your help.
Ahmed
