threads didn't seem to free allocated memory... while rendering an long sequence, the 'virtual memory' size grew with about 20 meg per frame. This appeared to be not related to using malloc in threads (works properly), but just because threads were not closed properly. I assumed that the call to SDL_CreateThread() also closes the thread when finished... but that seems to be not the case. By using a call to SDL_WaitThread() after the thread was finished the memory heap is stable again. This is something I've seen not documented anywhere... the SDL man pages are horrible sparse; Take for example the official page: http://manuals.thexdershome.com/SDL-1.2.5/html/sdlcreatethread.html
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
