PDA View Full Version : RFM shader compile error... RhythmOfLine08-18-2007, 06:25 AMhello, i was trying to compile a renderman shader, for RFM 2.0 eval version, in a text editor - saved with a .sl extension. for some weird reason when i go to the command prompt and try to compile it there i get the following error: Quote: ERROR: Cannot find preprocessor for shader file filename can someone help me as to the nature of the problem and help me resolve it? it has been driving me nuts. i have already set the proper environment variables. any help will be much appreciated! thanks! :) cheers, SD bareja08-21-2007, 12:37 PMHi, Please give me sl source, command :) and i will help you :) cheers, rendermaniac08-21-2007, 01:54 PMThis usually happens when your environment variables are not set correctly. shader uses slpp to do preprocessing on the shader file. I think you need to set your $RMANTREE variable to point to the base directory where all your RenderMan stuff is (not entirely sure where that is on RFM). Simon RhythmOfLine08-21-2007, 07:12 PMthanks a lot guys for the response, you are right...there was indeed an error in the setting up of the environment variables. by mistake I had copy/pasted the path twice, my own fault. sorry about that and thanks for the help! :) CGTalk Moderation08-21-2007, 07:12 PMThis thread has been automatically closed as it remained inactive for 12 months.
