Please report issues and patches to blender-2.7/github.com

<img alt="Build Status" src="https://travis-ci.org/bartoszek/AUR-blender-2.7.svg?branch=master" />

Use env vars to control build process:

• DISABLE_CUDA=1 to skip cuda kernel build (cycles+compositor)
• DISABLE_NINJA=1 to switch build system to make (default:ninja)

Usage cases:

• export DISABLE_CUDA=1 before build
• DISABLE_CUDA=1 ~your-aur-helper~
• makepkg DISABLE_CUDA=1
• yay -S blender-2.7 --mflags "DISABLE_CUDA=1"

Note for yay users:

Since yay relies solely on aur-rpc to solve dependencies instead of calling makepkg --sync it can't follow dependencies logic defined in PKGBUILD. That's why it's up to the user to provide dependencies to enable features.

tl;dr; If you want to prebuild cycles kernels, you have to install CUDA beforehand. If you don't have CUDA installed, PKGBUILD will silently skip cycles kernel build.

@bartus: Cool thank you!

@CYBERDEViL: thanks for the patch, if you don't mind I've added you as co-maintainer. I rarely use blender-2.7 those days, and tend to forgot to update the PKGBUILD when Travis-CI build starts failing.

@bartus: Ah yes I see, must have applied it manually here with the --ignore-whitespace flag.

There is a new patch to fix compiling with openvdb 8, I did cherry pick it from https://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender.git/patch/37889011070ff2ec52159690f652238d2b325185

The patch: https://notabug.org/CYBERDEViL/AUR/src/master/blender-2.7/openvdb8.patch

Yeah I'm sorry but I try to stay away from GitHub.

@cyberdevil: python3.9_2.patch doesn't apply because code style changes (double space in place of tab)

btw. Thanks for the patch, you can always post one as github-pr.

It failed compiling here due to newer versions of the dependencies.

Here are the changes I've applied to make it compile again: https://notabug.org/CYBERDEViL/AUR/commit/90abd2e11907fecb9772bcfde4af489376991d60

It's great to have Blender 2.79b again, it runs much smoother then 2.8. Plus I'm not a fan of the new interface and don't need the new features 2.8 has.

@Potomac: -c,--clena cleans the build tree after the build finish, use -C,--cleanbuild to clean build tree before build starts, this way no manula tinkering will be required ( or just double tap it with -cC to be safe ;)

I'd rather won't commit whole blender tree to server just to apply two line patch.

@bartus : Yes your are right, after deleting the directory and redoing the "makepkg -c" command the bug is gone, I can build the package without problems,

I need blender 2.7x because my graphic card is not compatible with blender 2.81 (amd radeon HD4650 pcie, a gpu from 2009), blender 2.81 triggers a crash of the graphic driver and kde plasma.

So your package is very useful, thanks.

@Potomac @lehthanis: This kind of error is, most likely an aberration between makepkg and leftover src directory, please use makepkg -C switch for rebuilding.

If you are using AUR helper, please specify which one. At least pamac/yay/aurutils are using -C switch to clear src directory before build.

The package is perfectly fine as it is, you can use some shady tweakery to allow package to rebuild without -C switch: mainly adding || true to patch call, but this in turns allow failed patches to goes undetected

@bartus: please update your PKGBUILD, we can not build your package, we have the error :

==> Lancement de prepare()… Vérification du patch release/scripts/addons_contrib/object_facemap_auto/auto_fmap_widgets.py... error: pendant la recherche de :

@lehthanis: try this out.

sudo mount -o remount,suid /tmp/
sudo pacman -S devtools
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/blender-2.7.git
cd blender-2.7
extra-x86_64-build -r /tmp/

It works in docker:arch the most pristine version of Arch out there, you just need to look harder :)

Perhaps just cleanning the sources before build will help makepkg -C :thinking:
