Beginners • How to Install Blender 2.79b on Raspberry Pi 4? Issues with .deb and Compilation

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install Blender 2.79b on my Raspberry Pi 4, but I'm running into some roadblocks. I’ve tried using several .deb packages with this version, but the OS rejects them, saying the packages are outdated.

After that, I tried compiling the program from source, but I encountered the following error during the process:

bash

sed (disable WITH_LIBS_PRECOMPILED to suppress this message).
-- Found JPEG: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so (found version "62")
-- Found ZLIB: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libz.so (found version "1.2.13")
-- Found PNG: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libpng.so (found version "1.6.39")
-- Found Zstd: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libzstd.so

make: *** [GNUmakefile:372: all] Error 1

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue or suggest another method for getting Blender 2.79b running on a Raspberry Pi 4? I’d prefer not to use the latest versions due to hardware limitations, so any help with installing this specific version would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
