[Bf-committers] Makefiles - OpenEXR and python on ubuntu linux

[Matt Ebb]

Hi,

After chatting with spiderworm on IRC, there seems to be some issues 
with the makefiles that break compilation on the current Ubuntu Linux by 
default.

Currently in CVS, it's looking in /usr/local (nan_definitions.mk: 123) 
where at least on Ubuntu it should be looking in /usr. I see that the 
other Linux options below are all looking in /usr too. Should this be 
changed for linux/OpenEXR? I don't know if that would impact on other 
distributions.

Another thing is python - the default version seems to be 2.3 
(nan_definitions.mk: 334), but Ubuntu, and I presume many other Linux 
distributions are using that version too. Isn't there a better way to do 
this than having it hardcoded? Guessconfig? using $python -V  ?

Last one, when linking it was looking for libGL.a which doesn't exist, 
only libGL.so. After some experimentation, adding "export 
NAN_JUST_BLENDERDYNAMIC=true" fixed this, but it seems a bit nasty that 
one can't just build by default.

Anyways, just throwing this up there for the Linux platform maintainers 
to take a look at.

cheers

Matt
