I had hoped that there would be some alternative to requiring Git LFS. However, given how many months have passed, it seems that this is going to be a permanent requirement for building going forwards from the Blender development team. So, I have accepted the patch of @sausix and have only modified it in that I added a dependency to makepkg-git-lfs-proto which you need for makepkg to understand git-lfs protocol.

As usual, if you have trouble building remember Blender is a fast moving project. If no comment helps, rewind the Git repository to the version we last advertised as building with the PKGBUILD.

Python obviously here -_-

@bartus commenting on @Kagura's problem - I have virtually an identical issue here.

Both building this package and building directly from blender.org git servers.

my version of the offending line in source/creator/cmake_install.cmake looks like this

file(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./4.2/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages" 
TYPE DIRECTORY MESSAGE_LAZY FILES "/usr/lib/python/" REGEX "/\\.svn$" EXCLUDE REGEX "/\\_\\_pycache\\_\\_$" EXCLUDE REGEX "/[^/]*\\.pyc$" EXCLUDE REGEX "/[^/]*\\.pyo$" EXCLUDE)

I have managed to successfully install this this blender by changing /usr/lib/python in this file to /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/MaterialX a package that is supposed to be installed in the official release. In order to figure out where the build system is failing it would be very useful to look at the list of folders that your build installing into into [blender]/[version]/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages

@bartus I've submitted an issue to the GitHub as to not fill the comments here with issues not to do with this package at the moment.

bartus commented on 2024-02-12 16:42 (UTC) (edited on 2024-02-12 16:43 (UTC) by bartus)

@Kagukara yes, this is intended behaviour, check pinned comment in blender-develop-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/blender-develop-git#comment-689539

@bartus When installing blender-develop-git I get:

==> Missing dependencies:
  -> cuda
  -> optix>=7.4
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
error: failed to build 'blender-develop-git-4.2.r132730.g98231ea880b-1': 
error: packages failed to build: blender-develop-git-4.2.r132730.g98231ea880b-1

Shouldn't the package install the dependencies that it needs?

extra/cuda is for "NVIDIA's GPU programming toolkit" and I don't use an NVIDIA GPU, should I install this myself?

aur/optix is marked [Out-of-date: 2023-04-10] should I also just install this myself?

@Kagukare: As I only rudimentary co-maintain this package and don't feel it well as it tends to rely on automagical deps, could you please test if, blender-develop-git also throws this error?

I've built the same commit as you 835b9a506d4, in clean chroot, and got no errors.

The offending line in source/creator/cmake_install.cmake:326 shows:

if(CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT STREQUAL "Unspecified" OR NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  file(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./share/blender/4.2/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages" TYPE DIRECTORY MESSAGE_LAZY FILES "/usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/zstandard" REGEX "/\\.svn$" EXCLUDE REGEX "/\\_\\_pycache\\_\\_$" EXCLUDE REGEX "/[^/]*\\.pyc$" EXCLUDE REGEX "/[^/]*\\.pyo$" EXCLUDE)
endif()

There's nowhere /usr/lib/python is referred to in the whole ~/.cache/paru/clone/blender-git directory: grep -R '/usr/lib/python/' ~/.cache/paru/clone/blender-git returns nothing.

@bartus I've started the install for blender-git with /usr/lib/python removed, like how it was. Just got to wait and see what happens. Thank you for the command.

As for python version detected: #.## with the command you provided the file blender-git-4.2.r132767.g835b9a506d4-1-x86_64-build.log says python version detected: 3.11.

EDIT: Still get the same output as before (added the line above to show its using python3.11 before this happens):

This is also shown in the blender-git-4.2.r132767.g835b9a506d4-1-x86_64-package.log file.

@Kagukara: I've look how paru is working: to enable log add --mflags=--log to paru call paru --mflags="--log" -S blender-git

Now paru will save logs to ~/.cache/paru/clone/blender-git instead of dumping them overboard.

$ ls ~/.cache/paru/clone/blender-git/

Running python -c "from sys import version_info; print(\"%d.%d\" % (version_info[0],version_info[1]))" found in the PKGBUILD gives me 3.11, which is the version of python I have installed.
