Mesa bug when starting Blender 2.1.1

Description

Blender seems to start up and switch to a dark black full screen under Haiku but then crashes. Seems to be related to Mesa.

I've attached the debugging info.

backtrace ?

comment:2 by kvdman, 16 years ago

Hi,

This doesn't kill Haiku, but just Blender just crashes and gives the option of debugging, which is what I posted in the screenshot.

I'm not sure how to do a backtrace in this case, or if you can?

comment:3 by umccullough, 16 years ago

Once in GDB - you should be able to use the "bt" command to run a backtrace.

comment:4 by kvdman, 16 years ago

Hi,

the problem is, it doesn't go into gdb. it just crashes and gives an option to debug. i guess gdb only gets invoked when haiku completely crashes (which it doesn't in this case); with the bug i just filed for metos (1553) haiku does crash and then i could do the backtrace.

comment:5 by stippi, 16 years ago

When you actually click on the "option to debug", that's when you will get a Terminal with gdb to debug the program. In that Terminal, type "bt". GDB is presented in two ways, the normal way is the Terminal thing I just described, but for vital system servers (like the app_server or the input_server), GDB is run in that weird full screen mode.

I tried installing blender2.11-beos-5.0-i386.zip. It seems to depend on python. Which package should I use ? Please provide a stacktrace.

comment:7 by kvdman, 16 years ago

Hi,

'sh: bt: command not found'

See the screenshot attached.

Also, I'm using libypthon2.4.so in /home/config/lib

You need to make a link in the same directory, and rename it libpython2.1.so

Ok, sorry don't know what was going on. Got the backtrace and attached it! Sorry for the confusion. Definitely seems to be MESA related...

comment:9 by kvdman, 16 years ago

I wanted to test MESA software renderer from BeOS Max v4b on Haiku to see if Blender would work with this version, but can't locate the binary, just the source. It's not located in the same place as in Haiku, and a search doesn't reveal it. Would it be named something else?

comment:10 by umccullough, 16 years ago

oh, maybe gdb uses sc (stackcrawl) instead of bt (backtrace) - I can never remember :)

comment:11 by korli, 16 years ago

I don't experience a crash, but a infinite looping thread with splash().

comment:12 by kvdman, 16 years ago

Blender loads now, but I can't select any of the menu items at all. Notice the errors in the terminal from the screenshot attached (blender1.jpg)

Any updates on this one ?

I tried a few weeks ago, and couldn't understand what happens: Blender seems to loop waiting for an event. The Blender sources are not easy to find. I talked to aldeck about Blender, and, in a way, an up to date port would help to fix this issue.

comment:15 by emitrax, 16 years ago

An up to date port for haiku just sound great. But if the 2.1.1 runs fine on BeOS, there seems to be a compatibility problem that need to be fix. Is that the case?

Yes it's what I implied. At least, the problem is not linked to OpenGL.

comment:17 by kvdman, 16 years ago

Here's some more information...

This is the last version of Blender for BeOS that I was testing:

http://www.haikuware.com/start-download/multimedia/graphics/3d-tools/blender

You'll need python, and link it to libpython1.5.so in order for Blender to find it. I've used the old python here:

http://www.haikuware.com/view-details/development/language/python

And the newer version at Haiku Ports with similar results:

http://dev.haiku-os.org/attachment/ticket/1552/blender1.jpg

Sadly, the sources to that version of Blender for BeOS are nowhere to be found, but I came across this:

http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/blender.org/source/chest/blender_2.03_tree/glut-beos/

Also, Zeta had a newer version of Blender and has a patch:

http://ghost.m-phasis.de/files/blender_ZETA_patch_20051023.zip

That patch is hosted at a project at sourceforge:

http://projects.blender.org/projects/ghost/

Which states:

'To free GHOST from all ties with Blender & produce a new standard in OpenGL toolkits (replacing GLUT for C and C++ projects).'

Perhaps GHOST is an issue when building Blender on Zeta/BeOSs since they provided the latest patch to get it running on BeOS/Zeta.

blender2.11-beos-5.0-i386.zip seems to work a bit now. Could still be buggy though.

comment:19 by kallisti5, 11 years ago

Is this still an issue? We need to test the beos blender release and see the state of it.

hrev48280. I've tested blender+2.11.zip from http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/multimedia/graphics/3d-tools/blender-211

It works, however it bundles libGL.so from R5. With libGL.so from mesa-7.9.2-10-x86_gcc2.hpkg blender starts but menus don't react on clicks.

Tested on hrev 51880. Blender 2.11b-4 menus work. Still unstable though (may crash unexpectably).

Closing this one. If there are still issues with Blender and/or Mesa those can be reported at HaikuPorts.
