How to install Blender 7.1 in Puppy Linux? [Solved]

Hello!

Can somebody create a .pet including blender for me?
I need the newest version of blender because there are many new functions and I work with blender very often.

I've tried to compile blender from source code, but I got an error:

Code: Select all

sh-4.1# make
make: nproc: Command not found

Configuring Blender ...
# if test ! -f /root/Downloads/build_linux/CMakeCache.txt ; then \
# 	cmake  -H"/root/Downloads/blender-v2.71" -B"/root/Downloads/build_linux" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release; \
# fi
# do this always incase of failed initial build, could be smarter here...
cmake  -H"/root/Downloads/blender-v2.71" -B"/root/Downloads/build_linux" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:97 (MESSAGE):
  Could NOT find PythonLibsUnix (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARY PYTHON_LIBPATH

  CMakeLists.txt:606 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
make: *** [all] Error 1
Thank you for help!

P.S.: I use Puppy Slacko 5.7 and I've installed the right devx.sfs

hi linus.cl

blender is in the slacko 5.7 PPM ... type blender into the find box
you'll also need to install the devx for it to work

sorry i missed that....

no need to compile as there's pre compiled binaries on the blender website http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blende ... 86.tar.bz2
just unzip and they are ready to go...

there's even a 2.72 test release to try

Thank you!
That's so easy! :D :D

But so I can't pack the newest blender version in a .pet package. :( :(

There's no need for a pet package.

You can make a desktop file which puts an entry on your start menu.

Go to /usr/share/applications/
and duplicate one of the desktop files there such as mtpaint.
Rename it to blender.desktop

Change some lines in the file such as the execute line.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Double clicking on a document file to open an application is tricky.
You can read about it on this forum.

Here you are...

Blender 2.72b was released on October 22, 2014. It is the latest stable release from the Blender Foundation.

Please find Blender-2.72b.sfs among others at

Tested in Puli.

Have fun!
