Solaris 10, i386, 64bit

For this you will need an internet connection and 64bit AMD or Intel processor running solaris.

This also works in the virtual machine VMWare.

pkgadd -d http://www.blastwave.org/pkg_get.pkg

Skip Step 2, install software!

/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i gcc4core gcc4corert gcc4g++ gcc4g++rt subversion gmake wget

Path, add this line to your, ~/.bashrc

PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/csw/bin
PS1="\w >"
CFLAGS="-m64 -O2 -pipe -mtune=opteron"
CCFLAGS=$CFLAGS

All commands below assume your running bash, not the default shell

make a dir for blender

mkdir ~/B

Get blenders source

cd ~/B
svn co https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender

Get the x86_64 libs, we could get all libs but better just to get what we need

cd ~/B
mkdir lib
cd lib
svn co https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/solaris-2.10-x86_64

Build Blender

gmake NAN_NO_OPENAL=true

The blender binary will be created in ./obj/solaris-2.11-x86_64/bin/blender

With Solaris 10 glu.h is in

/usr/X11/include/mesa

But blender expects it to be in

/usr/X11/include/GL

quick workaround is to do a symlink the headers, there is overlap

ln -s /usr/X11/include/mesa/*.h /usr/X11/include/GL/

Alternately you can edit blenders source and point to /usr/X11/include/mesa
