Way back when browsing glsl’s was slow I wrote a ‘compile’ script that used shader_builder to make everything into .mx/.lx and also install them, and also have since added a bunch of features I found personally useful like a skip list (I mean, I love PacMan as much as anyone, but…) and a categorizer that will put shaders into subdirectories based on what they start with.

It’s up at my github if you want to give it a go instead.

@julik ? Any ideas?

I think it is related to python3?

@ALan the install script is probably geared towards python2 and it might be challenging to make it compatible with both python3 and python2, although I could try. Is your python3 install your system’s or Flame’s? The idea with the installer was initially that it had to run reliably on whichever python is provided by Flame itself, which so far is still python2. So:

  • Can you please run a which python in your shell?
  • Can some other people ( @randy ?) run which python in their shells too?

I was able to get the INSTALL.command to work. This was on my test ADSK 8.2 + DKU vm (NO installation of flame)

I’m not that great with python, but I changed this line:

applicable_matchboxes = filter(lambda s: s[\'shader_type\'] == shader_type and s[\'required_matchbox_version\'] <= sw_version, shader_info_dicts)\n

to this:
applicable_matchboxes = list(filter(lambda s: s[\'shader_type\'] == shader_type and s[\'required_matchbox_version\'] <= sw_version, shader_info_dicts))\n

and the script completed the installation (AFAICT).
