[pseudo ANNOUNCE] working blender for maemo

Just in case anyone's interested, I have a working blender 2.4 build at https://github.com/radiochickenwax/blender-n900-maemo. It runs pretty smooth for modeling and animation, but really slow for rendering.

All you need to run it is the binary from here. It's statically linked against maemo's python-2.5.4.

Unfortunately however, this doesn't work using the default window manager in hildon-desktop. So if you want to run this, you'll have to change that. See post#3 for a cool workaround. I started some poor instructions here.

Hope this helps someone out there.

For those who don't want to change window manager and want to see how it works:

Code:

wmctrl -l  => find window id of blender 

xdotool windowunmap "blenderId"

xprop -f _NET_WM_STATE 32a -set _NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN -id "blenderId"

xdotool windowmap "blenderId"

By " ....want to see how it works " you mean blender doesnt works with your instructions but just appears as a screenshot-like? Because by your instructions i am actually able to use blender without changing my window manager... Is this what you meant?

EDIT:-
It does crash on some options giving omitted at compile time error, eg. Rendering animation and hangs on starting game.

When trying to run the fix, I get "xdotool: not found".

You need to install wmctrl , xdotool and x11-utils first.

Ok, that worked, and it's running now, but keyboard controls don't seem to work - I can do things through the menus, but can't, say, press space to add an object or navigate the menus with arrow keys. Any suggestions?

Re: [pseudo ANNOUNCE] working blender for maemo

taixzo, try set-focus from easy-debian.

I also tried mm3d in chroot and it's better fitted to maemo screen. radiochickenwax, maybe you are interested to port it to maemo:)
