Hi, i’m trying to build synfig from synfigstudio-linux-build.sh. I’m using a fedora 23 and i have cloned the source from origin/master, but i get this error: ```auto Making all in images make[2]: ingresso nella directory "/home/arkimede/dev/synfig/synfig-studio/images" mkdir 128x128 mkdir 16x16 synfig -q synfig_icon.sif -o 128x128/synfig_icon.png --time 0 -w 128 -h 128 synfig -q synfig_icon.sif -o 16x16/synfig_icon.png --time 0 -w 16 -h 16 synfig(61619) [18:50:07] informazione: rendering threads 16 synfig(61618) [18:50:07] informazione: rendering threads 16 X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 34 () Serial number of failed request: 27 Current serial number in output stream: 26 X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 34 () Serial number of failed request: 27 Current serial number in output stream: 26 Makefile:1410: set di istruzioni per l'obiettivo "128x128/synfig_icon.png" non riuscito make[2]: *** [128x128/synfig_icon.png] Errore 1 make[2]: *** Attesa per i processi non terminati....

Thanks for your reply. In my source code i have already the fix: [https://github.com/synfig/synfig/commit/580eb0bee2efa4fe4540ecd2bb818a5a02009674](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/commit/580eb0bee2efa4fe4540ecd2bb818a5a02009674). This is my Layer.cpp: ```auto 841Layer::build_rendering_task(Context context)const 842{ 843 rendering::Task::Handle task = build_rendering_task_vfunc(context); 844 return task ? task : rendering::Task::Handle(new rendering::TaskSurfaceEmpty()); 845} ``` So i have copied /synfig/share directory that i have in another machine and then i have tried to launch synfigstudio but i get this error: ```auto [arkimede@localhost gui]$ ./synfigstudio synfig studio -- starting up application... synfig(87236) [18:59:49] info: rendering threads 16 lt-synfigstudio: rendering/opengl/internal/context.cpp:162: synfig::rendering::gl::Context::Context(): asserzione "context" non riuscita.

My ~/.config/synfig/ dir contains just a fifo file. So i have created settings-1.0 adding the two lines: ```auto [arkimede@localhost ~]$ cat .config/synfig/settings-1.0 pref.navigator_renderer=software pref.workarea_renderer=software ``` But i get the same error. Where am i wrong? > [@](#): > > or you can install synfigstudio dev 1.1.5 and configure the renderer to legacy from the preferences. I would try it as a last chance. Thanks for your help 🙂 ---

First of all thank you for your patience. I have deleted all installation’s files and restart from scratch. I have pulled from origin master (so i think the version should be 1.1.6). I have rebuilded using synfigstudio-linux-build.sh with “full” option from autobuild directory: ```auto ./synfigstudio-linux-build.sh full ``` I’ve got always the same error. I’m currently using a Fedora 23 on VMWare [glxinfo.txt](https://forums.synfig.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f2f77aab8a7c7cf48508f5c15b769538a9073c85.txt) (33.3 KB) ---

Hi, I have same error recently, I guess the command line of “synfig” has default settings(cobra ?) which causes this problem. The build stopped at the stage of making icons and splash. But as you might know, I can use the synfig (version 0.64.x ) command installed by DNF to make all icons and splash. ---

If you have some ideas to solve completely let me know 🙂 Currently i can start to modify and build the code even without icons Thanks to all 🙂 ---

> [@kinderp](#): > > make creates some icons but later exits with an error on jack\_icon.png. the jack\_icon.sif is made in later version than 0.64.x, and has some new layer parameter used. And I am sorry, I have just check my Fedora, it has a 1.0.x instead of 0.64.x. so it would be a workaround if you download and install 1.0.x stable version 😃 Regarding GLXBadFBConfig issue, I found that there is a quite similar topic : [stackoverflow.com/questions/2384 … untu-14-04](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23844813/opengl-program-compiles-but-gives-error-when-run-ubuntu-14-04) ---
