Is there a static build available of the latest release (2.49a) for 32 bit Linux?
The reason I ask is that I am having a problem on my hardware and it was fixed by an earlier static build, but has come back in the standard build.
Hi,
There is static functionality within the new Blender 2.49a, but to get to it you have to execute blender in a different way in linux.
If you look in the Blender 2.49a directory you will see a script called blender-softwaregl, if you run that script blender will run with software version of mesa (what used to be included statically). This works because the 2.49a build includes the libraries for it in a lib directory that comes with the new blender.
Hope this helps.
Yes, that does it thanks.
The source code of 2.49a isn’t available yet in the main page, where I could download it?
