The package lux needs recompilation against libpng:

(...)
Processing time: 0.050849

Running Luxrender:
(nice -n 0 "/usr/bin/luxrender" -i 180 "/tmp/default.lxs")&
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.1
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.7
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
Saved session recovery to /tmp/quit.blend

It also is not installing the Blender scripts they are not present on the source package it is located at : http://src.luxrender.net/luxblend/

It still didn't fix my problem and the patch is not needed since there is a sed command that does the job

luxrender points to libpng14 but still crashes after 2 minutes when trying to save a png on /tmp because of imcompatible png.c

EDIT: As of today luxrender released version 0.7.0RC3, which I called 0.6.99 (last RC). So I'm compiling it to see if the problem is really luxrender or does it rely on png or wxgtk... And also to see if the next version is going to be worth the upgrade. The only case is that new luxrender requires freeimage which I had to search and create a package before. If the new version fix the png problem, I'll post in here the the specs for freeimage and the spec for luxrender (there are some modification from the original spec for 0.6.1)

OK new version of luxrender works great but not because the bug has being fixed, its because luxrender no longer uses a wxgtk interface, they ported the gui to qt4.

So the problem is actually related to WxGtk which needs a rebuild adding the following options to the configure line:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]

--with-libpng=sys --with-libxpm=sys --with-libjpeg=sys --with-libtiff=sys

Since the wxGTK 2.8.x is not compatible with the png_sig call we need to do a sed before the configure so that the compilation don't fail:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]

sed -i -e 's:png_check_sig:png_sig_cmp:g' ../wxGTK-$VERSION/configure

This need to come before configure line.

Only requiring for wxgtk to not use static libraries doesn't seem to do the trick so you need to add these the configure command. In fact wxGTK doesn't use static libraries but instead it uses it's own libraries for png (builtins) which is version 1.2.7 while all the rest of the system is version 1.4.1.

Now to have the new luxrender version which seems to be faster a better you need to add another package before called freeimage : http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ so there you need to download the source code version 3.13.1 and save as FreeImage-3.13.1.tar.bz2. here is the spec file for freeimage

Code

[In neuem Fenster öffnen]

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<package name="freeimage">

	<description>Library project for developers who would like to support popular graphics image formats</description>

        <!-- Contribution: Diogo Lima -->

	<releases>

		<release version="3.13.1" revision="1" branch="testing">

			<deps>

				<dep name="gcc" />

			</deps>

			<build>

				<script>

                                        <!-- Source Code: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/freeimage/FreeImage3131.zip -->

					<archive name="FreeImage-$VERSION">

						<cmd>make</cmd>

						<cmd>make install</cmd>

						<!-- Extra -->

						<cmd>make -f Makefile.fip</cmd>

						<cmd>make -f Makefile.fip install</cmd>

					</archive>

				</script>

			</build>

		</release>

	</releases>

</package>

After making freeimage package you need to update luxrender to version 0.6.99. You'll need to grab the source code from http://src.luxrender.net/lux/archive/dd0a5b5acd79.tar.bz2 and save it as lux-0.6.99.tar.bz2 , as addition the blender export scripts needs to be download from http://src.luxrender.net/luxblend/archive/24cc23d2fa2e.tar.bz2 and then extract the files and put LuxBlend_0.1.py and Icon_gen.py together with the lux-0.6.99.tar.bz2 on $REPO/sources/lux/ now you need to rename LuxBlend_0.1.py to LuxBlend-0.6.99.py and Icon_gen.py to Icon_gen-0.6.99.py (this last step is to actually don't make file confusion since the script have changed and still are named the same way as the 0.6.1 version)

Now here is the spec for lux version 0.6.99:

Code

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<package name="lux">

					</archive>

				</script>

			</build>

		</release>

	</releases>

</package>

Now the observations, since the version 0.7 hasn't dropped the Wxgtk interface yet (they use as fallback when qt doesn't work) then the wxgtk dependency is needed, also since I added the blender export scripts on the spec the dependency for blender is necessary. Qt-4 is needed as explained above.

This doesn't mean that wxgtk problem is gone (it is gone for luxrender since it dropped it). Please fix the wxgtk so that other distributions don't crash, like amule and others.

After the wxGTK upgrade luxrender 0.6.1 needs to be rebuilt against it and all the packages that require it needs rebuild as well

It looks like wxGTK 2.8.11 already contains the necessary changes, I've triggered a build of the new version in testing.
