1 year ago Hello Alonso,
I'm sorry but I was unable to find a way to create a Docker configuration with all the software requirements to build mmSolver for Maya 2018. Maya 2019 was the earliest set of requirements that I could get to work. On the other hand, Windows builds worked with a newer compiler, that's why they are provided.
The current Docker files are here (for Maya 2019 to 2023): https://github.com/david-cattermole/mayaMatchMoveSolver/tree/master/share/docker
Relevant Maya API documentation: https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2018/ENU/?guid=__files_Setting_up_your_build_environment_Linux_environments_32bit_and_64bit_htm https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2018/ENU/?guid=__files_Setting_up_your_build_environment_Linux_compiler_requirement_htm
I believe the main issue is that "devtoolset-2" is no longer supported or downloadable from any Redhat/CentOS packages repos and as a result I cannot use it. You can see this thread on the VFX Platform mailing list: https://groups.google.com/g/vfx-platform-discuss/c/_-_CPw1fD3c
I am currently using https://github.com/wwfxuk/centos-vault-scl as a stop-gap to support the (Redhat unsupported) devtoolset versions that I'm currently using in the Docker containers.
If you are able to create a Docker file that supports Maya 2018 with publicly downloadable repos/hacks, I'd be very grateful. If you are able to create a private Docker file with the compiler requirements, you can follow the build instructions here: https://github.com/david-cattermole/mayaMatchMoveSolver/blob/master/BUILD_LINUX.md

We are in the process of implementing mmsolver for our integration department, and we where wondering if there any plans of releasing a precompile of version 0.4.1 for maya2018 on linux?
