The first is an automated script to automatically build and upgrade {boost,luxrays,lux,blender,pylux} outside of the FHS (read::any one central location). Doesn't require root access. It should 'just work' but since it was geared towards Arch Linux, hey, it might not - you never know. On an architectural note, keep in mind that make -j 2 will build for 2 cores - as in my laptop.
The second is a rough guide/script to build a *static* luxrender {luxconsole,luxcomp,luxmerger} on a barebones RHEL5 server system without administrative privileges, with limited space, and without OpenCL support. By barebones I mean minimal - any system with libc/pthread, xorg, and libpng. One note - the dependencies are listed in reverse order, so read bottom-up. weird.
I hope this comes in handy!
P.S Also hope the CMakeLists.txt modifications get pushed/fixed.
P.P.S Uploading to separate posts since none of the {txt,text,sh,odt,etc,"",..} extensions are allowed.
