Compiling Blender on Gentoo
Gentoo July 27th, 2009
Tried to compile Blender on Gentoo but ran into an interesting issue. The ebuild just dies with little to no clues on what went wrog. After a while I figured out that gcc 4.1.2 wont compile Blender 2.48. Good. So how can I switch to the required gcc 4.3.2?
# emerge -uav gcc
# gcc-config x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.2-r3
# env-update && source /etc/profile
# emerge –oneshot -av libtool
# emerge -eav system
# emerge -eav world
# emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2
This will take a while (Q6600/8GB took around two hours).
After this major system upgrade blender compiles without any issues.
