RC2 Linux x64 statically linked binary available for testing

[Radiance]

Hi all,

Jromang has built statically linked binaries of the RC2 release.
These don't need any dependencies (like fltk, boost and openexr) on the system as it's all compiled in.

It's compiled on a Fedora Core7 x64 system,
altough it's likely possible that this binary runs on many other x64 linux distributions.

Can people please test this and report they're findings here before i whack it onto the RC2 download post ?

Here it is:

If this works we will also supply a 32bit binary soon.

thnx!,

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
It works perfectly! Thought I'd be the first to say thanks, as I was crying the loudest.

[EDIT] On Ubuntu x64 (Gutsy)

can you post your OS / distro version here (i'm too tired to go searching in other posts for it

just so people know it works on that distro too

PS: 32bit statically linked binaries for linux should be here tomorrow.

Will you be making source archives available (aside from CVS) once stable releases or rolled out? That way, people can build their own.

[Radiance]

yeah, but only for major releases

Hmmm... Test scene works perfectly fine, but my own scene looks like this after 20 min:

Tried physical sky/sun and exr for lighting - same results. Any ideas? Anyone?

hey, you've probably got an emitter in your scene with a large amount of vertices.
there's no sampling functionality for them yet.

don't use any large mesh emitters in rc1 and rc2.
i'll fix this in rc3

if not, please post your scene...
