there are no slackbuilds or information how to compile this on slack, but it is available for all debian, fedora, suse distros.

even arch linux has it.

It has a couple of dependencies that also have no packages or slackbuilds.
This is a shame for anyone doing 3d on linux, wanting to use slack.
Mitsuba renderer
Re: Mitsuba renderer
Those distros have communities with a lot of people able and willing to help with the labour of packaging - especially Arch.
Re: Mitsuba renderer
I tried packaging it and failed at the dependencies.
I have given up.

Re: Mitsuba renderer
my problem was with a couple of its dependencies.

libopenexr configure step cannot find libilmbase, eventhough I successfully compiled and installed it.
libglewmx1.5-dev has some libraries that are simply impossible to find on slackware.
libboost on salix is missing an *so file.

Re: Mitsuba renderer
You are assuming that packages in slackware/salix are named exactly as they are named in other distributions. And considering the fact that packages are named absurdly in other distributions, you are expecting the same absurd names in slackware/salix too.
What is libopenexr? Certainly not openexr which is installed by default anyway, is it? You are trying to build libilmbase? Really? It appears the ilmbase package is not good for you then. libglew1.5-dev? Come on! What stupid name is this? The package is named glew for the spaghetti monster's sake. libboost is missing an so file? What nonsense is this?
You are trying to compile things that are already there!

Re: Mitsuba renderer
the scons build script of mitsuba is not even checking the deps. Surely there must be something wrong I am going here.
