Linux blender import not working

[pringithub]

If you are having trouble importing a .rdc file with this add-on, please provide the following information:

• The .rdc file (capture.rdc given in exppad post)
• Your GPU name (NVIDIA Quadro M5000M)
• Version of this add-on (must be the most recent one) (v0.3.0, v0.2.2)
• Version of RenderDoc (1.6 recommended) n/a
• Version of Blender (2.82 recommended) (2.83, 2.82)
• OS (Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04)

Hello,

I tried to import the provided rdc file, but got an error. I'm running Linux and tried on two different computers with different OSes, blender versions, and add-ons.

Hello, ad stated in the README, linux is not supported. Just out of curiosity, were you able to capture a rdc file on linux? If so, could you share it here with me?

[pringithub]

As stated in the README, Unfortunately, the inject into process functionality of RenderDoc is not supported on linux. You can still import existing captures on linux, though. I was simply attempting to import an rdc capture (the one from your post - perhaps it is outdated?)

I might look into RenderDoc on Linux. If I get it working I will share.

Ahem yes indeed it says that my bad. To conclude the "as stated in the readme" battle, let's add a last quote: "Help Wanted: This repository does not provide the required RenderDoc binaries for linux nor for OSX." ^^ So, maybe on linux renderdoc.pyd and renderdoc.so are provided with RenderDoc in which case you could copy them here in a directory called linux64 but also they must use the same version of Python as Blender (at least the same 3.x._, no need to match the last ..y) so it is likely that you'll have to build it yourself (which is pretty straightforward if you are used to build cmake based projects).
