Blender Collada. Please Help.

Could someone smarter than I please help me write a PKGBUILD for  blender-svn ( from AUR)  that will compile OpenCollada support?
I have  OpenCollada  installed, but blender staedfastly refuses to be built with it's inclusion.
Setting "-DWITH_OPENCOLLADA=ON"  results in "Could NOT find OpenCOLLADA (missing:  _opencollada_INCLUDES)"
and Setting  -DOPENCOLLADA_ROOT_DIR=/usr, as suggested on AUR as a solution, throws a "No such file or directory" error.

Has anyone had any success building Blender with OpenCollada?
Can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks

Hi, it seems like you're doing everything right, but that OpenCollada is not installed and available when you're compiling Blender. Does it work if you install "opencollada-svn" first?

Thanks for the response.
@TU: Yes, I do have opencollada-svn installed prior to blender-svn.
@Mad Fish: Gonna try your PKGBUILD now and report back.

Re: Blender Collada. Please Help.

blender-collada and blender-collada-svn from AUR do not build.

The opencollada-svn from AUR does build. However... this is not enough for blender.
One must download the openCollada source : svn checkout http://opencollada.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ opencollada-read-only

Add the following switches to the blender-svn PKGBUILD:
-DWITH_OPENCOLLADA:BOOL=ON \
-DOPENCOLLADA_ROOT_DIR=/opencollada-read-only \  #MUST SPECIFY AN ABSOLUTE PATH TO WHERE YOU DOWNLOADED THE SOURCE [ie: /home/user/opencollada-read-only]

And there you have it.

Update:
The newest opencollada-svn puts the libraries where blender-svn can find them so no need to download the source from google or point to the opencollada directory.
