Building with Quicktime results in no Header text/icons
Closed, ArchivedPublic

Description

ok, so this is bizzarre. I build using scons with vs 2008 on Windows Vista 32.

If I build with Quicktime = True with the QT SDK and a Quicktime=path to Movies.h builds a blender.exe (log attached), but when you run Blender, there are no icons or headers or gui elements on the headers (except for one window type) - just blanks. You can split windows, but not much else. Window contents show up, but no text or icons on the headers.

Changing user-config.py to BF_Quicktime=False builds an awesome Blender.

Using the latest QT SDK, located at 'C:\Program Files\QuickTime SDK\CIncludes' and my Movies.h file (all header files actually) dated 11/1/2007 and was just downloaded from Apple.

Event Timeline

Your 'withQT' shows a failed build - it shouldn't start at all unless it's just using the previously built .exe

The symptoms that you're describing suggests that blender can't find the bundled python, or your UI scripts. If the build stopped midway and hasn't copied over python or the scripts, that is what I'd expect.

Anyway, based on that and since generally, we don't have build-related issues in here, I'll close this. If you clean your build, then make a successful build from scratch with all the python/ui files properly copied, and this still happens, then reply back to this report and we can investigate a bit further.

thanks

i DO get a clean build when I change WITH_QUICKTIME=False. I pull down all of trunk as per instructions. Maybe the title of my bug is bad, and should be "Building with Quicktime throws fatal error". The attached file is the log from scons, and shows where the build fails when quicktime is enabled using the user-config.py attached. The only change from a clean build is setting qt=true. sorry for the confusion.

When you say "with all the python/ui scripts" - do you mean some outside of trunk? what specific folder? I am just trusting svn...will jump on irc to diagnose. Thanks again.
