Welcome to the fun world of open source.
For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named
INSTALL.
---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory---------------------
The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender.
In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of
translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font.
Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations:
- the current directory
- your home directory
- On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked
- On Windows, the installation dir is checked.
If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender
dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended).

Ok were getting somewhere here ;) I'm not an expert at this but I think I'm getting the hang of it quite nicely. I added autoconf stuff for most of the intern dir. I move readme.txt to README and added the following section to it: ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* We are in the process of moving things over to automake/autoconf The old makefiles are still in place and will work. If you want to get a working blender skip down to the next section and use this readme as a guide. If you want to play with the new autoconf environment you need to do the following, inside this dir: ./bootstrap mkdir ../newdir cd ../newdir ../blender/configure Take a look at INSTALL for options you can give to configure. About half of the intern directory is done so you won't get very far. If you want to work on fixing it you need to edit Makefile.am's and configure.ac after editing those files you need to run bootstrap again. TODO to finish up the intern dir Square away how ghost works. (i.e. would be nice if under windows you could choose X11 or normal windows libs, same with macos.. right now its a cludge and it doesn't do one explicitly probably involves changing the way configure.ac picks stuff) Get intern/python figured out. Add the following to configure.ac --with-openssl=dir --with-mozilla=dir (get it so nspr is autodetected here) --with-nspr=dir (incase in different dir) --with-jpeg=dir --with-png=dir --with-zlib=dir figure out why the heck the libtool that gets created is wrong on my system (mein@cs.umn.edu) :) Kent -- mein@cs.umn.edu
