- Download source & dependencies
# Make a folder
mkdir ~/blender-git
cd ~/blender-git
# Clone the Blender repo
git clone https://git.blender.org/blender.git
# Clone the dependencies
mkdir ~/blender-git/lib
cd ~/blender-git/lib
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/linux_centos7_x86_64
# Update source & dependencies
cd ~/blender-git/blender
make update
- Load modules
module load daint-mc Mesa/.18.3.3-CrayGNU-20.08
module swap gcc/8.3.0 gcc/9.3.0
- Make headless
make headless
Warning: CMake might not find the OpenGL libraries. In that case you'll get an error like this:
-- Could NOT find OpenGL (missing: OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY)
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
linked by target "cycles_device" in directory /scratch/snx3000/bp000347/blender-git/blender/intern/cycles/device
The solution is to manually set the paths:
a. Open ../build_linux_headless/CMakeCache.txt and find the lines concerning
OPENGL, replace them by:
OPENGL_EGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include
OPENGL_GLES2_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include
OPENGL_GLX_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include
OPENGL_egl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libEGL.so
OPENGL_gles2_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libGLESv2.so
OPENGL_gles3_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libGLESv2.so
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libGLU.so
OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libGLX.so
OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libOpenGL.so
b. Run make headless again, delete ../build_linux_headless if necesary.
- You should now have blender!
