- use char rather then STR_String for the event printer.
- added option to build WITH_GHOST_DEBUG for cmake
- renamed WITH_SDL_GHOST --> WITH_GHOST_SDL
This opens up the option for blender to be more easily ported to other devices, OS's.
TODO
- continuous grab.
- text glitch with multiple windows (was a bug in X11 too for a while, will check on this)
- don't allow building if the LIBDIR is not found on mac/windows.
- by default use -O2 rather then -O3 for GCC release flags, was crashing some GCC versions and blender releases are supposed to use -O2.
Nothing is changed by default but some linux distributions want to have executing python be opt-in.
This keeps the same functionality but disables auto-run from factory settings and in background mode unless its enabled as a command line argument.
This CMake option is marked as advanced and wont show in the regular options list so its less likely to be enabled by people that like to turn everything ON without reading descriptions :)
Some notes about code status:
* The Blender modifications were fairly quickly put together, much more code
polish and work is needed to get this to a state where it can be committed
to trunk. Files created with this version may not work in future versions.
* Only simple path tracing is supported currently, but we intend to provide
finer control, and more options where it makes sense.
* For GPU rendering, only CUDA works currently. The intention is to have the
same kernel code compile for C++/OpenCL/CUDA, some more work is needed to
get OpenCL functional.
* There are two shading backends: GPU compatible and Open Shading Language.
Unfortunately, OSL only runs on the CPU currently, getting this to run on
the GPU would be a major undertaking, and is unlikely to be supported soon.
Additionally, it's not possible yet to write custom OSL shaders.
* There is some code for adaptive subdivision and displacement, but it's far
from finished. The intention is to eventually have a nice unified bump and
displacement system.
* The code currently has a number of fairly heavy dependencies: Boost,
OpenImageIO, GLEW, GLUT, and optionally OSL, Partio. This makes it difficult
to compile, we'll try to eliminate some, it may take a while before it
becomes easy to compile this.
- remove some warnings
- fix typos
- cmake allow in-source build (when WITH_IN_SOURCE_BUILD is defined)
- cmake, use an explicit list of rna files (don't glob)
if not defined (first run) these are now set blank but can be defined later.
the problem is that scons & cmake builds would link against different libraries since cmake added its own defaults.
now, by default, scons & cmake have the same libraries.
This fixes an obscure crash in MinGW where cmakes default linking with -ladvapi32 would crash on string formatting which used float precision as an argument, eg:
printf("%.*f", 3, value);
...without giving a useful backtrace or pointing to the line of code doing the string formatting.
use 'install' target rather then copying files with post-build commands.
Main change is that you need to run 'make install', which copies files to ./bin by default
unless WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE is OFF, where CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used for a typical unix-system install.
CMake build option WITH_PYTHON_MODULE, will build ./bin/bpy.so
This allows 'bpy' to be imported from python or other applications/IDE's which embed python, eg:
python -c "import bpy ; bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)"
This runs in background mode and has similar restrictions to running a script:
blender --background --python test.py
TODO:
- install to site-packages with blender scripts
- add support for imp.reload()
- rename rna collection structs Main prefix to BlendData: eg, MainObjects --> BlendDataObjects
- printing python collection now prints its type (when available)
- renamed shadowed vars in bpy_rna.c.
- when making functions static I also made debugging/test functions static, reverse and add definitions to headers instead.
- python 3.2 does 'import site' on startup which now tries to parse pyconfig.h which isn't copied. so for now just run without importing 'site', alternative would be to copy the header file for posix systems.
- cache PYTHON_VERSION variable so it can be set to 3.2, needed for copying python installation's other then 3.1.
Will need to write full docs on this on the wiki.
basic info.
- 21 tests, OBJ/3DS/X3D/FBX, 3 tests per format import export. STL, PLY, BVH are TODO.
- uses files in ../lib/tests (checkout separate)
- run with CMake Makefiles "make test" or "ctest"
- currently checks against basic MD5 hash on scene import and file MD5 hash on export (realize this wont work predictably on binary formats *TODO*).
- currently uses a generic script for all tests with arguments to specify command to run, expected output, testing method, files to check against etc.
Has already proved useful, found a number of bugs in import export and some in blender too.
Bringing back missing feature: Create new directory by typing a not existing name into the directory button.
Note: Small issue still with autocomplete -> if typing the new directory directly after autocomplete, it doesn't execute the operator yet.
Also fixed some minor compile/cleanup issues with warning about signed/unsigned comparison and missing header.
fix included in report from Martijn Berger (mberger)
made some small changes.
- use ints rather then unsigned long for printing, values are not likely to be very large.
- CMake remove strict flags from collada build dir since I had warnings in the collada headers.
- added xml2 to collada libraries else I couldnt get collada building.
from mathutils.geometry import PolyFill
I couldn't find a way for python's inittab to do this so just inserting mathutils.geometry into sys.modules manually.
- implicit function declaration.
- no return type set for a function.
- declaration after statement.
This may be too strict but in general I prefer we don't allow commits with these warnings.
Applies to cmake/gcc and scons/linux.
- omit render code from this warning (cmake only), until render branch is merged.
- moved -Wunused-parameter warning to apply to all C code in blender (not just ./source/blender), (cmake only).
- moved files in proper directories and adapted paths where needed
- deleted doc/oldbugs.txt (asked confirmation to jesterking a week ago in irc)
- still working on doxygen files, for now I'll leave them in doc/
- NOTE: while checking if other files were referring to these files, I noted that
"GPL-license.txt" is also used in the files below:
- release/windows/installer/00.sconsblender.nsi
- release/windows/specific.sh
but these files should't be affected by this commit, but please check :)
- ignore MSVC warnings when FREE_WINDOWS is defined to quiet warnings.
- the CMake flags were not being set correctly making blender have weirdo colors (no -funsigned-char).
- option only available to cmake, scons and make have this enabled always.
- without this clang/llvm can compile blender
- this was the second biggest internal lib, 192mb -> 172mb for all blenders libs (with debug flags), so gives some speedup to linking.
- more strict warnings for gcc/unix, still <50 for a clean build.
- install files to /usr/local/share/blender/2.53 rather then /usr/local/share/blender/.blender

Adds the option to not copy python into the .blender/python directory.
Also fixes the problem of deleting the blender installed python where the blender runtime only looks for the copied python and not the system one but not entirely sure why, something to do with CMake hardcoding the PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME vars I suppose.
This patch only applies to the 'UNIX AND NOT APPLE' platforms but, then again, those are the only ones anyone really
cares about...or at least the only ones where using the system python is really viable.
[#22849] Fix cmake install target on linux
--- from the tracker ---
This patch fixes the install target for the linux platform. Since the new configuration path changes are in effect, files have to be installed in the correct places instead of just copying the local installation to $PREFIX/share/blender.
It also provides a new macro to determine the correct blender version values.
Changes in this patch include:
- the .desktop menu file is installed in $PREFIX/share/applications and points to the svg icon instead of a png one, which is also installed in $PREFIX/share/pixmaps
- docs are installed in $PREFIX/share/doc/blender
- scripts are installed in in $PREFIX/share/blender/x.xx/
- locales are installed in in $PREFIX/share/blender/x.xx/datafiles
- a new cmake macro determines and sets the correct values for BLENDER_VERSION_MAJOR, BLENDER_VERSION_MINOR, BLENDER_SUBVERSION, BLENDER_VERSION, BLENDER_MINVERSION_MAJOR, BLENDER_MINVERSION_MINOR, BLENDER_MINSUBVERSION and BLENDER_MINVERSION by parsing source/blender/blenkernel/BKE_blender.h and calculating major/minor values. This replaces the hardcoded value in the top CMakeLists file and is used by all platforms.
by default now on all platforms since it shouldn't crash anymore if SSE is
not there. If this breaks compilation on some platforms, please let me know.
- WITH_LCMS added option, was supported in scons.
- commented web plugin option since its not maintained.
- some formatting changes and removed includes that are not needed for source/creator/CMakeLists.txt.
- DocumentExporter changed due to function name change in API
- no more UTF lib
- enabled by default for win32
Note: debug libs will be added later, as well as 64bit windows libs.
For other platforms, get r746 of OpenCollada and build against that.
from Riakiotakis Antonis (psy-fi)
with modifications.
notes:
- needed to remove quotes around filepaths for copying.
- WITH_JACK, doesnt link
- WITH_FFMPEG, doesnt build
- WITH_RAYOPTIMIZATION, gave an error for me. (no mmx support)
* updated for new libtiff
* also disabled opencollada for now as it caused errors
Note:
* WITH_INTERNATIONAL is enabled although this setting crashes Blender when compiling the Debug target - seems to work for other people though? If you encounter problems, try disabling this.
* Removed dynamic linking libTIFF code and change it to static linking
(built into the blender executable). Dynamic linking made things a
fair bit more complicated and wasn't working at all before on OS X -
the dylib didn't exist and wasn't being copied. Since TIFF is more heavily
depended upon now in Blender, it makes sense to make it less 'optional'
and more in line with other libraries.
I've updated both CMake and scons, and CMake on OS X/64bit works fine.
It's now up to other platform/build system maintainers to enable this for
their respective platforms (Campbell will check it for linux). For windows,
and non-64bit osx, we need static libtiff libraries in /lib.
I've added options WITH_TIFF for CMake and WITH_BF_TIFF for scons,
so if blender won't build because of this, you should be able to disable
these options until your build system has been updated.
* Bonus feature: while doing this, I added support for loading 16bit and 32bit
per channel TIFFs - they get converted to Blender's float buffers. Handy for
zbrush displacement maps!
OpenCollada new version (721) lib has additional lib files to link with.
Added BF_RAY_OPTIMIZATION option in CMake (as the one in scons) for building SIMD optimized ray tracing code.
scons+vc build crashes on Blender start when BF_COLLADA is on, don't know why this happens.
Merging from trunk to get working vc project files, then will try to debug and locate the problem.
this prevents crashing at startup of Blender in debug builds with cmake.
See bugreport by Andrea in the mailinglist here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bf-committers@blender.org/msg00668.html
Also enabled WITH_OPENCOLLADA in cmake by default so the feature gets tested. If other devs like to keep OpenCollada it disabled, please revert the ON to OFF again.
- CMake on unix default OpenMP to enabled.
- Scons on linux default OpenMP to enabled.
- copying python is slow, for scons only copy if the directory has not been created.
This makes quicktime import (.mov & quicktime handled image files such as .gif) available also for 64bit OSX
Unfortunately, Apple currently incomplete implementation of QTKit has much lower performance than old Carbon Quicktime.
FYI, it spawns a 32bit process "QTKitserver" to place calls to Quicktime 7.
So this is mostly meant as a "backup" for 64bit OSX builds, until Apple releases full Quicktime X.
Export part will come just after.
CMake scripts updated: set WITH_QUICKTIME and USE_QTKIT to ON
To build OpenCollada:
* apply this patch http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/File:Opencollada@675.diff
* build by typing 'scons XMLPARSER=expatnative' (pcre and expat must be installed)
* after build, copy all compiled libs into 'lib' (Blender build will refer to it):
rm -rd lib
mkdir lib
find . -iname '*.a' | xargs cp -t lib
Resolved the 'inconsistent newlines' merge error by updating my svn client.
The error was caused by a bug in svn client (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3262) that was
fixed in 1.5.5.
Fixed conflicts in image.c, object_edit.c, wm_operators.c, source/creator/CMakeLists.txt and CMakeLists.txt.
Merge didn't remove some files that were moved/renamed in trunk, svn reported 'Skipped [filename]' on these files.
I removed them with:
svn --force remove release/io
svn --force remove release/ui
svn --force remove source/blender/editors/preview
svn --force remove source/blender/editors/physics/ed_fluidsim.c
svn --force remove source/blender/editors/physics/editparticle.c
svn --force remove source/blender/editors/physics/ed_pointcache.c
svn --force remove source/blender/editors/mesh/mesh_layers.c
Now, before merging into trunk, need to update collada code so it builds ok and fix the possibility to build without
collada.
The WITH_LIBS10.5 option switches the use of the libs included in the darwin-9.x.universal folder
Use the CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES variable to set the architecture you want to build for (e.g. i386, x86_64). Only one at a time, this value is used to select the python_?.zip that is bundled with the app.
WITH_COCOA (build Cocoa ghost and not Carbon) is now on by default.
GHOST*Cocoa.mm & .h files creation
First Cocoa version of GHOST_SystemCocoa.mm
CMake files update to allow optional (WITH_COCOA option) Cocoa version build - disabled by default
SCons files are not updated to allow Cocoa build (the ghost .mm files)
