LuxCoreRender Forums

Hello, I am a new LuxCoreRender user (I've began using it for FreeCAD renderings).
I am trying to "adopt" the luxcore binary package on Arch Linux AUR, so I would like to ask if there is a "official" list of LuxCore's dependencies on Linux, to maintain correctly the package.
Thanks in advance

You should use the build procedure described here: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LinuxCompile

My bad, I'll explain myself better.
I am not trying to build from source (for this there is the luxcorerender package on AUR), but to automate the download and installation of the latest official precompiled binaries from GitHub. So I was trying to understand which are runtime dependencies and which are compile-time dependencies (that can be excluded in this case)

The binaries are (mostly) statically linked and they detect CUDA/OpenCL presence at runtime so they should have a very little amount of dependencies.

Are you packing LuxCore standalone or BlendLuxCore ?

LuxCore standalone. To be clear, this: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCor ... 64.tar.bz2

You can actually do an "ldd luxcoreui" and you will see are required DLLs. Indeed pyluxcore.so does requires Python too.

Ok, it looks like LuxCore has more dependencies than expected. I tried ldd on luxcoreui after extracting the downloaded archive (and it points to the libraries in the folder) and after putting the luxcoreui executable alone in a folder. In the latter case it points to the system libraries, except for libOpenImageDenoise.so.0, which is not found although openimagedenoise is installed (so I had to put it in the folder). Attached there are the ldd outputs.

Regarding pyluxcore, it should work with Python2 and/or Python3?

Isn't it included in original .tar.bz2 ?

Python3.

Python3.

Yes, but to avoid dependency hells and conflicts with the libraries installed system-wide, I am trying to refer to system's libraries.
For example libtbb.so.2 might have been already installed through pacman, and be in /usr/lib/. In this case overwriting it with the version provided by LuxCoreRender could create problems, so it should be better to declare tbb as package dependancy and let the package manager handle it.

Another question about libOpenImageDenoise.so.0, I have checked the official precompiled binaries of Open Image Denoise, and there is no file named libOpenImageDenoise.so.0, at most libOpenImageDenoise.so.1, libOpenImageDenoise.so, or libOpenImageDenoise.so.1.3.0. So what library/version is the file included in the original .tar.bz2?

Regarding pyluxcore, where can I find instructions for a proper install? Just as a confirmation of what I am trying to do

It doesn't very much sense to pack the standalone version, you should pack BlendLuxCore.
