I’m trying to give my blender builds some Collada functionality. So, I followed the instructions on this page: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Kazanbas/Building_Collada_Branch (Strange, the page now requires authentication by password):eek:
I’m sure I got the recommended libraries on that page (libexpat & libpcre) but I still get the following compile error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat
i cannot access the wiki, so i don’t know what this guide says.
but it seems you’re missing the expat libraries. on ubuntu/debian systems “sudo apt-get libexpat-dev” should do the trick.
Thanks Atti, … I eventually got the expat libraries installed. Its an rpm system (Fedora) so the package name is different. However, there is new development. It made a reference to xml2 (so, I installed the library for that … only found a static one). Now I get the following errors:
