Windows

See the Readme file here: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/WindowsCompile

Linux

Static link environment

First Run

# Download Static compilation scripts
git clone https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LinuxCompile.git
cd LinuxCompile

# Download LuxCore sources
git clone https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore.git

# Start build script, pass the path to the LuxCore sources as first argument
# This will take a very long time on the first run because it needs to compile all dependencies
./build-64-sse2 LuxCore

To test LuxCoreUI, you can now start it:

cd LuxCore
./bin/luxcoreui ./scenes/luxball/luxball-hdr.cfg

Updating

To update to the latest sources, use standard git commands:

git pull

Recompiling

In case you edit or update any source files and want to recompile quickly, go to the LuxCore sources directory and run make:

cd LuxCore
make -j8

(-j<n> specifies number of threads for the compilation process)

The compiled binaries are in LuxCore/bin/, the compiled libraries (e.g. pyluxcore.so) are in LuxCore/lib/

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Dynamic linking)

# Install deps
sudo apt-get update

tar zxvf embree-2.17.1.x86_64.linux.tar.gz
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/embree-2.17.1.x86_64.linux/lib

# Install Pillow

# Compile LuxCore
git clone https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore.git
cd LuxCore
cmake -D EMBREE_SEARCH_PATH=`pwd`/../embree-2.17.1.x86_64.linux -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.4m.so -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.4m -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR2=/usr/include/python3.4m .
make -j 8
