[Bf-committers] Blender-2.55 has no menu bar

[Campbell Barton]

You shouldn't need to copy files from /usr/share/blender into
~/.blender, if so then its a bug.

I just tested and it work as expected.

With CMake, set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable, its "/usr/local" by
default, I set it to "/opt/blender25"

"make install" copies the files into the install prefix.

For an example on using CMake to create a package see:
  ./build_files/package_spec/pacman/PKGBUILD

You could look into why it cant find the script directory using strace.

If you grep for the dir you filter out a lot of junk, notice the last
line the path is found, eg:

 ~ # strace /opt/blender25/bin/blender 2>&1 | grep "/opt/blender25"
execve("/opt/blender25/bin/blender", ["/opt/blender25/bin/blender"],
[/* 36 vars */]) = 0
readlink("/proc/self/exe", "/opt/blender25/bin/blender", 4094) = 26
stat("/opt/blender25/bin/blender", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755,
st_size=125951465, ...}) = 0
stat("/opt/blender25/bin/2.55/config", 0x7fff8291a6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
stat("/opt/blender25/bin/2.55/config", 0x7fff8291a6a0) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
stat("/opt/blender25/bin/2.55/python", 0x7fff8291a770) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
stat("/opt/blender25/bin/release/python", 0x7fff8291a580) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
stat("/opt/blender25/share/blender/2.55/python", 0x7fff8291a580) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
readlink("/opt/blender25/bin/blender", 0x7fff82905940, 4096) = -1
EINVAL (Invalid argument)
stat("/opt/blender25/bin/Modules/Setup", 0x7fff82906880) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
stat("/opt/blender25/share/blender/2.55/scripts/modules",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
