Leaving Chris World?

Why not bring back a souvenir?

GMX Plight

I'm releasing a version of 2.48 blender with a graphics patch that should make it possible to run blender on an Intel Macbook with 10.5.6 and the GMA X3100. I also discuss fabled GMA bug that I affectively refer to it as the GMX bug.

Binary Away!

    hey

    just curious how positive are you that 2.5 will kill the issue?

    btw very entertaining video ;)

  • chuck

    also your build doesnt open on my gma x3100 macbook with 10.5.6

    it “unexpectedly quits” the second i click on it

    weird stuff

  • DANG it! .. What does the console say chuck? Do you have python 2.5?

  • chuck

    Dyld Error Message:
    Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

    Reason: image not found

  • Ah I think you would need libfreetype.6.dylib installed then. Not sure if that installs with the developers tools or you have to go and find them. I know that I have libfreetype.6.dylib in the right location. I would try installing the apple develoeprs tools inte optional installs on your mac.. either that or I’d go and find some freetype installer. But yeah, def why it’s crashing. It can’t find the right library.

  • Mmmm :/ this whole mess is prob because my build isn’t statically linked. :/

  • did you statically link yet?

    could you run a build?

  • I did what sigurd said:
    Sigurd says:
    Some libraries are not where they are expected, I ran:
    ln -s /sw/lib/libintl.3.dylib /usr/local/lib/
    ln -s /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

    Where they are stored for you (if you have them) by running:
    locate libfreetype and
    locate libintl

    Btw. thanks for the build

    could no find libintl though.

  • Hi, my name is Michael, i suffer from GMA 950.

    Thats hilarious :D, and hey, thanks for the build.

  • davidoff

    how can i solve the libfreetype problem? benji’s post didn’t help me :(
