I am new to Linux, but have been using Pixie on Windows. When I tried Pixie on Ubuntu 12.04 I found that sdrc no longer works. It generates stackoverflows when compiling surface and light shaders. Note: It did compile the fog.sl shader just fine.
Can some guru re-compile Pixie for these modern distro and repost working binaries?
I tried following the compile instructions for Unix but they no longer work. When I paste the lines of code into the Terminal nothing happens.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, so I am giving compiling a try but remember I am a complete newbie as far as Linux and compiling goes.
I am working with Ubuntu 12.04.
Here is what I have done.
I pulled the source code from here:http://pixie.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pixie/trunk/
I extracted the files into a folder called "pixie-trunk"
I press CTRL-ALT-T to bring up the terminal.
I have used the cd command to change to the directory of "pixie-trunk"
Let the typiing begin. sudo apt-get install perl csh libtool automake autoconf flex bison
csh makeunix
./configure
make
make install
After typing the suggested commands you will find it does not work. On my system I see some errors about tiffio missing and x11.
I dig around on the interweb and find a few more commands to type… sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libtiff4
This got me to the point where the ./confgure command actually worked!
But it still will not compile. After looking through even more messages it looks like fltk is not installed so I type
sudo apt-get install libfltk1.3-dev libfltk1.3
Even though the above command for fltk seemed to work from the terminal, (note, I am using the same terminal session for all this typing, I don't know if that matters) when I re-issue ./configure I see a message that fltk is not installed.
When I type make, I get errors and I still have not binaries of Pixie to work with.

The reason I ask is because I don't, and that didn't prevent me from compiling Pixie.
Here is what the end of the output of ./configure looks like to me:
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
------------------------------------------------
---> FLTK not found.
---> You can download it from www.fltk.org
---> show will not be built.
------------------------------------------------
---> OpenEXR not found.
---> You can download it from www.openexr.org
---> openexr display driver will not be built.
------------------------------------------------
Installation info:
PIXIEHOME: /home/nat/pixie
Documentation: /home/nat/pixie/doc
Shaders: /home/nat/pixie/shaders
RIBs: /home/nat/pixie/ribs
Textures: /home/nat/pixie/textures
Displays: /home/nat/pixie/displays
Procedurals: /home/nat/pixie/procedurals
Modules: /home/nat/pixie/modules
------------------------------------------------
To build Pixie:
>make
>make install
So no FLTK and no OpenEXR, but still, I can do "make" and then "make install" and it successfully compiles and installs pixie.
Hoping this helps,
Natacha

Hello,
do you actually need FLTK?
