Package: blender Version: 2.56.1-beta-svn34076-1 Followup-For: Bug #599680
I've got the same issue on my computer (AMD Athlon XP 3000+, does not support SSE2). Based on a bit of testing, I'm able to run the official Blender 2.56a 32-bit binary (blender-2.56a-beta-linux-glibc27-i686) on this computer without any issues. However, the Debian binary dies with SIGILL. Since the official binary can work without SSE2, I really hope the Blender binaries will be compiled without SSE2, because this would allow the binaries to work on a broader range of hardware. Dropping support for non-SSE2 hardware would only make sense if upstream makes the same decision, IMHO. Please drop mandatory SSE2 for the glory of the "Linux makes hideously outdated computers useful again" movement. =) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fi_FI.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages blender depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfftw3-3 3.2.2-1 library for computing Fast Fourier ii libfreetype6 2.4.4-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.5.2-6 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1 7.7.1-4 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglew1.5 1.5.8-3 The OpenGL Extension Wrangler - ru ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.10-4 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgomp1 4.5.2-6 GCC OpenMP (GOMP) support library ii libilmbase6 1.0.1-3 several utility libraries from ILM ii libjack-jackd2-0 [libja 1.9.6~dfsg.1-2 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libopenal1 1:1.12.854-2 Software implementation of the Ope ii libopenexr6 1.6.1-4.1 runtime files for the OpenEXR imag ii libopenjpeg2 1.3+dfsg-4 JPEG 2000 image compression/decomp ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-2 PNG library - runtime ii libpython3.1 3.1.3-1 Shared Python runtime library (ver ii libsamplerate0 0.1.7-3 Audio sample rate conversion libra ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-6.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++6 4.5.2-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.9.4-8 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.4.1-5 X11 client-side library ii libxi6 2:1.4.1-1 X11 Input extension library ii python3.1 3.1.3-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii ttf-dejavu 2.33-1 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime blender recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
