Blender & Yafaray?

Hi guys,

I installed blender with pacman (works!). I installed yafaray with yaourt (-S yafaray) (it did the job).

Now, when I start Blender, it should show a new addon, no? It doesn't :-( No addon, no render menu item thingy...
What am I doing wrong? Anyone else using yaf on Arch? System is up to date...

Re: Blender & Yafaray?

Okay, what I did:
download source yafaray and integrator, cmake and compile
download blender-svn from aur with yaourt.
copy the .so files from yafaray to ~/.blender/2.59/scripts/addons/yafaray/bin
copy the python files from yafaray to ~/.blender/2.59/scripts/addons/yafaray
I hope that will do the job...

SOLVED

What I did:
yaourt -S blender-svn
then download git://github.com/YafaRay/Blender-2.5-Exporter.git
and download yafaray svn found on yaf website
compile yafaray
copy exporter files to ~/.blender/2.60/scripts/addons/yafaray
copy those 6 files:
_yafqt.so

_yafrayinterface.so

libyafaraycore.so

libyafarayplugin.so

yafqt.py

yafrayinterface.py

to
~/.blender/2.60/scripts/addons/yafaray/bin
mkdir ~/.blender/2.60/scripts/addons/yafaray/bin/plugins
copy ALL OTHER .so files in the yafaray compiled stuff in the plugins folder.
Enable yafaray addon and start rendering!
