blender 2.34 works!

[Woody Gilk]

here's the message i sent to the list. here's the url for a
blender-2.34 build dir that you can just execute "sh linux.sh"  (this
is the script i created) to build blender. all the necessary files are
already in place. everything should compile (tm) except the static
binary, which isn't needed anyways. here's the url:
http://www.wgilk.com/linux/blender/dynamic-2.34/blender-2.34.tar.gz

just tar zxf wherever you usually build stuff, then "cd blender-2.34"
and "sh linux.sh" and wait a while. if all goes well, make note of
where it stores the dynamic binary, then copy the dynamic binary to a
test dir and unpack it. cd to that directory and "./blender" and
(hopefully) welcome to blender v2.34.

i made super progress tonight. i'm done for right now because i'm stuck.

here's the short version: got blender to compile until the point of
creating blenderstatic, then it fails. here's the very end few lines:

there it is... the thing is... even though the static linking doesn't
work, blender does indeed work. here's a screenshot to prove it:

now all that needs to be done is finding a way to prevent the static
binary from building are we are golden. here's a file for people to
use... i don't know if it will work without the build dir because i
don't really understand the ins and outs of dynamic linking... but
here, have this:

(please be nice to my server, i pay for that bandwidth... if you can
afford to wait for the moonbase to be updated, please do.
