Maya Linux Install 2017

From wikinotes

NOTE:

This time, I'm going to try to satisfy all dependencies myself in a VM so that it is reproducible.

For the record, the entire 2017 line of autodesk products was released in August 2016

apparently xf2016 works for 2017 as well

Dependencies

Fonts

WARNING:

I have tried several approaches, but so far none of them have worked. This documentation is purely for the sake of saving informing future-me of failed trials.

Maya appears to need a font supplied by Xorg, and not the font renderer's fc-cache 


pacaur -S ttf-ms-fonts
pacaur -S xorg-fonts-100dpi
pacaur -S xorg-fonts-75dpi

pacman -S ttf-liberation


try1

## 
## DO NOT DO THIS!   maya segfaults
##
cd /usr/autodesk/maya2017
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/helvetica/dejavu sans/g' {} \;


try2

ephifonts contains a helvetica substitute, that is visible to font-renderer AND *Xorg server*

it is not however named appropriately for maya, so we'll need to create an alias for it. 

sudo pacaur -S ephifonts

#### /usr/share/fonts/OTF/fonts.alias

-urw-pali helvetica-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-*-*-*-p-82-iso8859-1
-urw-pali helvetica-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

try3

Install fontforge, to modify another font's font-family to be registered as helvetica.


WARNING:
 unfinished

Troubleshooting

Maya2017 did run successfully, I separately did an installation both on a workstation and on my laptop. On arch current, I have started encountering issues, presumably to do with using newer versions of libraries.

NOTE:

Despite the GUI being unable to start, mayapy can be used

Crash on Startup

On archlinux (2017-09) maya now crashes on start. More information can be obtained by modifying the environment 

sudo env MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1 PYTHONPATH= /usr/autodesk/maya2017/bin/maya2017
