Soya basic help

Hello. Sorry for spamming, couldn't find help elsewhere.

I'm trying to use Soya3D. I want to ask if there is some forum or something
where a newbie can ask stupid questions :-)
In google I only found some dead links :-(

Thanks in advance.

-------------

My current problem is: I get black window when running basic tutorial 1.
When launching some other tutorial I saw frame rate on black window.
No exception is given. Fullscreen is also black. Videocard seems to be
working alright. My system is Gentoo Linux, python 2.6, soya 0.14 (installed
through package manager).
Output:
$ python basic-1.py
* Soya * Using 8 bits stencil buffer

* Soya * version 0.14
* Using OpenGL 3.3.10362 Compatibility Profile Context
* - renderer : ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
* - vendor : ATI Technologies Inc.
* - maximum number of lights : 8
* - maximum number of clip planes : 8
* - maximum number of texture units : 8
* - maximum texture size : 8192 pixels

* Soya * Using 16 bits stencil buffer

Can you try the latest version of soya (0.15rc1) ?

Thanks!
It helped.

Unfortunately I didn't find the 0.15rc1 package for my distribution
(Gentoo). So I had to manually install it and also fight unresolved
symbol error (by using "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libGLU.so").

But now I see rendered items. Hooray!

While trying to write a gentoo package (ebuild) for 0.15rc1, I've noticed that
1. If pyrex is not used during compilation than resulting module
claims to be version 0.14. I suppose the files in archive were not
recompiled with pyrex properly.
If this gets fixed I can provide the ebuild (I don't want to add pyrex
as dependency).

2. The issue that I refered to earlier (black window without rendered
graphics) actually comes from using "-O2" compiler flag. I think it's
Gentoo-specific or compiler-specific (gcc 4.4.5)

Hello,

I think you should (try to) use Cython instead of Pyrex ; it is the new way of compiling Soya and usually works better (I have some weird bugs with Pyrex on some specific functions).

Can you tell me about them? If there's something that Pyrex
is doing wrong, I'd like to fix it.
