shinkamui: Thanks to your assistance I finally managed to run blender, but it is really slow. when I lunch conky it shows that the cpu is at it's maximum and blender is using about 90% or sometimes pulseaudio uses 70% and blender more than 20%.
May it be related to the lack of opengl or openglu? how can I view the list of installed packages?
Thanks for the help!

Pingu, perhaps we should give shinkamui more time, it's not that easy to learn opengl .

I succeeded to get blender working without the cpu issue thanks to shinkamui. so again thanks!
I forgot to edit the previous post.

hi,
where can I find the libGl and libglu ?

pingu,. im working on it, but an opengl to opengles wrapper is unbelievably hard. With a few tweaks, the software renderer is actually usable. I will post another video this weekend, maybe this time showing a simple but full demo of some modelling in action on my current build. As soon as I have anything worth showing on the wrapper, I intend to release to the community hopefully to help with other opengl ports. Pupnik, where are you!

How can I set up this alpha Blender build on my n900? I would like to give it a try, but I just cannot figure out how. Ive untared the archives on my PC and transferred the folders to MyDocs on n900 - is there a way now to move them to opt? Where can I find the required openal lib? Ive searched the forums but no luck

RafaLL92:
generally you can move files by "mv filename /path".
from my experience, I moved all the "blenderlibs" files to /usr/lib and it worked. the other archieve went to /opt .

happend to me either. I think got my openal lib by apt-get in terminal but I'm not sure. try searching by running "apt-cache search openal" see what you get.

Ok Ive managed to move the files, but still no luck with openal. Ive searched in xterm executing "apt-cache search openal" and got nothing...

How can I edit ld.so.conf in /etc/ to add the blenderlibs folder? Do I have to copy it to MyDocs using emelFM2 for example, edit it from there and then copy it back overwriting the old one in /etc/? Or is there another way round?

Cheers,
Ralph

shinkamui: How portable do you think your OpenGL->GLES wrapper is? I bet there are lots of other OpenGL projects that could benefit from that wrapper. In fact, that's probably the most significant thing you've done.

Do you think you could make the wrapper open source? And post it in garage.maemo.org?

RafaLL92: you need to enable the extras-dev and extras-testing in order to download libopenal1
for now don't edit the ld.so.conf file.
