OctaneRender™ for Blender 1.50 - 4.3 beta Linux [OBSOLETE]

[Synthercat]

I have the same problems with grimm and also seem unable to install libboost_filesystem.so. the install script warns me about this :

"WARNING! Ubuntu users: Beware of Trusty!!!
Ubuntu 14.4 comes with a default libyaml-cpp in 0.5 version, while their ocio package still uses the 0.3 version
You have to use '--libyaml-cpp-ver=0.3' option (else Blender will builds with 0.5, and break when using packaged ocio)...

Source code of dependencies needed to be compiled will be downloaded and extracted into '/home/synthercat/src/blender-deps'.
Built libs of dependencies needed to be compiled will be installed into '/opt/lib'.
Please edit $SRC and/or $INST variables at the beginning of this script,
or use --source/--install options, if you want to use other paths!

Number of threads for building: 8 (automatically detected, use --threads=<nbr> to override it).
Full install: false (use --with-all option to enable it).
Building OpenCOLLADA: false (use --with-opencollada option to enable it).

Example:
Full install without OpenCOLLADA: --with-all --skip-opencollada

Use --help to show all available options!

Do you want to continue (Y/n)?n
"

I don't even have the time to properly read this right now! I got to go... will work on this in a few hours once I get gome

EDIT : The install help shows a lot of options... weird! Does it actualy build Octaneblender?!? Could I build an optimised for my PC build?

I AM ON MINT 16 64bit

No, it just installs it automatically.

The script didn't help me, I did a little google search... i wonder if I should try to install boost

[Synthercat]

It seems mint 16 has it already (I found libboost_filesystem.so.1.53.0 on my /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/)
creating a link or symbolic link to 1.51.0 didn't do the trick

[Toast]

It did the trick for me.

[Synthercat]

There were more libs to link the first two names where so alike that I thought that it didn't work.

It did work! I linked about 4-6 libs and now it works... time for testing!

[Synthercat]

Normilized light seems to be A LOT stonger in a scene from the previus octane-blender-linux...

PS. I never understood what normilize does! I only test it to see if I want it on or off!

Hi JimStar, have an error starting Blender for Octane 2.70:

./blender
./blender: symbol lookup error: ./blender: undefined symbol: _ZTIN3Iex7BaseExcE

Thanks, Mib
