Notes:
* Sequence transform strip uses G.scene global, this is commented
out now, should be fixed.
* Etch-a-ton code was most difficult to merge. The files already in
2.5 got merged, but no new files were added. Calls to these files
are commented out with "XXX etch-a-ton". editarmature.c and
transform_snap.c were complex to merge. Martin, please check?
* Game engine compiles and links again here for scons/make/cmake
(player still fails to link).
* add preliminary support for building Blender on 64bit Windows with _msvc_. The SConstruct should automatically detect if you are on a 64bit Windows and if you have that 64bit build is assumed. If you're not, 32bit build is assumed.
NOTE: this is still very much wip, so your mileage may vary. Do please report on b25 taskforce ML in case of trouble.
NOTE2: many of the libs are being linked in statically
NOTE3: hopefully I didn't break anything for other build platforms (mingw, linux, osx).
NOTE4: comes after NOTE3
I did a very drastic cleanup for the different libgroups, there's now only a few left. It compiled with scons/msvc, will be testing in a bit on linux, too.
If you get any problems, please reply to this commit message on the taskforce ML.
* Moved View2D data from space-data to ARegion (aka regions). This has been done because drawing occurs in regions not areas anymore. The View2D struct is currently stored in the ARegion struct (not as pointer), given that most of the regions in use will be 2D anyway (only the 3d-view's "window" region is the exception).
Added version patch code for outliner and timeline only for now. Headers are also likely to need this.
* Added separate keymap for View2D operators. All regions that use View2D will need this added. This includes headers too.
* Pan view operator (ED_View2D_OT_view_pan), currently works for Outliner and Timeline. Use MMB-drag as before.
- It currently doesn't exposed any parameters for redo (via RNA-ID-Props), but only uses some customdata. Suggestions on what these parameters could be are welcomed.
- I've yet to implement the necessary axis-locking features for this panning (which is required in Timeline for example to prevent vertical panning, which moves the markers out of view).
- Code has been changed to reflect this (ie. deprecated functions are not anymore used)
* clean up the C and C++ compiler flags mess.
- in the environment construction of BlenderLib all the compile flag governing options have been split in the *C*, *CC* and *CXX* containing equivalents.
C is for C compiler only flags. CC is for C and C++ compiler flags and CXX is for C++ compiler only flags.
All the platform default config files need to be double checked and fixed wherever it looks necessary. Either DIY, or send me a note with needed changes.
- a start for the BlenderLib parameter list has been made - all the SConscripts need to be checked and modified to hand in flags properly.
* A theeth request: make -jN settable in the config file.
- I give you BF_NUMJOBS, which is set to 1 by default. In your user-config.py, set BF_NUMJOBS=4 to have 4 parallel jobs handled. Yay.
[#17867] Adds option to SCONS to generate Python API documentation
Added patch from Brandano with some small improvements (BF_DOCDIR, clean) by yours truly.
To use make sure you have epydoc installed. Enable with WITH_BF_BPYDOC=1.
The latter is now obsolete and will be soon
removed.
Some tiny build tweaks for darwin committed
in preparation of bigger changes for proper
SDK suport both on intel and ppc
settting WITHOUT_BF_INSTALL='true' will disable
the copying to INSTALL_DIR
you can use that in your user-config.py or commandline
slipping in minor cleaning for Os X builds
* Finally cleaned up the NSIS installer creation process
This is now a proper action and command, with simple printout
The 'nsis' target (only on Windows) now properly depends on
all the build process, and will be done as very last.
* Make LZMA (Solid) default compressor for installer (= the best)
FINALLY! With this commit command-length problems are History. Thanks go to xuru from #scons for giving the nice pointer.
src is now again one lib, and further libsplitting should be rather unnecessary, unless we somehow reach the 37K limit (for internally used CreateProcess, by subprocess module)
Patch provided by Emmanuel Turquin: copy a proper bundle
on OSX. I take it he has tested
this on OSX :) Other OSX-ers, please do verify :) (/me hugs his Windows)
Copy the Python 2.5 dll on windows, not 2.4. Also commented out the copying of the
python24.zip and zlib.pyd. I'm under the impression there is a concensus we want
users to install py25 if they want to use it.
To use:
Make sure NSIS is in your %PATH% and type 'scons nsis'
It doesn't currently compile blender first, so make sure you do a
normal 'scons' before this.
* Add WITH_BF_YAFRAY, which per default is 'true', so no visible changes for developers (and users).
Set WITH_BF_YAFRAY to 'false', and you'll save some major compile time :) Also handy if you're strapped for memory and compilation fails on yafray compilation due
to this.
- this commit also has a few whitespace changes and
- made BF_NO_ELBEEM a proper BoolOption. This will be renamed to WITH_BF_ELBEEM in the near future...
- this patch adds verse support for SCons, which can be enabled by
giving WITH_BF_VERSE=1, ie. on command-line
- this patch also adds a custom lib dir possibility. From the patch description:
"To set a custom ../lib dir, put LCGDIR="path to lib dir, including the platform folder name!" in your user-config.py."
* Fixed win32-vc-config.py so that it links to the proper library. Reported by Brandano.
of the fluidsim can now be disabled with the
flag: BF_NO_ELBEEM='true', e.g. for irix systems.
(The number of ifdefs from the original
patch was reduced, and the defines are now
only necessary when elbeem is switched off.)
- particle generation option is available again
* Applied patch #4012 by Joseph Eagar. The patch provides a way to quickly assign a list
of libraries to build with debug symbols. Usage:
scons BF_QUICKDEBUG=src,bf_blenkernel,bf_blenlib
+ SCons support for pthreads-win32. Library will be committed shortly into
lib/windows, so be sure to check commit list and update that as well
when the pthread lib is available.
+ 'scons blenderplayer' builds blender AND blenderplayer now (tested on Linux
only, but was only linking issue, so should work on other platforms too).
NOTE: I noticed some compileflags for GE specific libs that were left out -
I re-enabled them in the SConscripts, but I'm going to do a test build my-
self now, so if there are problems with them on win32, I probably already
know about them :)
* This commit is all of the rewrite work done on the SCons system. For
documentation see doc/blender-scons.txt and doc/blender-scons-dev.txt.
Also http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/SconsRefactoring
contains valuable information, along with what still needs to be done.
- linux, os x and windows compile now.
- files are compiled to BF_INSTALLDIR (see config/(platform)-config.py)
- NOTE: Jean-Luc P will commit sometime during the weekend proper
appit() for OS X. For now, copy the resulting binary to an
existing .app bundle.
- features:
- cleaner structure for better maintenance
- cleaner output during compile
- better handling of build options
- general overall speed increase
- see the wiki for more info
Cygwin, FreeBSD and Solaris systems still need work. For these systems:
1) copy a config/(platform)-config.py to ie. config/cygwin-config.py
2) set the proper defaults for your platform
3) mail me at jesterking at letwory dot net with you configuration. if
you need any modifications to the system, do send a patch, too.
I'll be giving first-aid today and tomorrow, after that it'll be all
regular development work :)
/Nathan
These should make it so that other people can compile with OpenEXR support.
(I also added the OPENAL fix erwin commited to bf-blender since I
need it for my machine, and this syncs up the file)

So for the 2.4 release, both bullet AND sumo will be enabled. You can choose in the world buttons which physics engine is active for a scene.
sorry if this breaks your builds!
- test build alpha splash
- version update to 239 in code
- release names are 2.40-alpha1
Note about release names; this is really an alpha still, not a release
candidate, so cannot call it 2.40-pre either.
Naming conventions is a discussion still... hope this works as a compromise
for now.
in this case only the new blenderdummy.cpp and utilities.cpp have to be compiled
- restructured gui:
* domain options split up into 2 sections
* added compressibility and refinement settings
* added inflow/outflow object types
- increased progress bar by 1
- XCode project
- Scons :
scons stopped working for Os X in the last month (dont know when) :
* the '.' and '..' keywords in CCPPATH
are not recognized anymore for sconscripts compiling files at
a sub level
* when doing a scons clean, the 3 subdirs in build dir are removed
and scons then fail to recreate them (exten, intern, source)
this commit solve the first problem as a temp workaround
for the latter simply recreate the dirs manually
I will investigate that further when on vacations, which i should already
be.
;(
all 3 build systems are now working on Os X
The new defines for use_bullet are currently set as false until testing can take place to ensure proper compilation on those systems. The existing use_bullet='true' on the windows platform was left untouched.
Please ensure that variables are defined on _all_ platforms in the future instead of just defining them for the system you're currently developing under.
using bandoler's patch as a basis (thanks!).
A couple of notes:
- This is for windows only, I did not have a chance to try linux yet.
- SConscript for PHY_Bullet may need tweaking (plus support
for other platforms), but at least it's in there :)
Any problems, shout :)
* add some ENV = os.environ's here and there (help those who have msvc toolkit installed)
Note for OSX users: check from your config.opts the correct info for the precompiled ftgl lib is used.
1) fix evil use of internal scons interfaces that breaks latest scons version.
2) a hack to turn on new CCGSUBSURF stuff by adding -DUSE_CCGSUBSURFLIB
to extra_flags. This is currently the default for all platforms except
win32 (due solely to my ignorance of win32 compiler flags).
not affect anyone.
Changed:
if user_openexr == 'false':
defines += ['WITH_OPENEXR']
To what it was suppose to be:
user_openexr = 'false':
if user_openexr == 'true':
defines += ['WITH_OPENEXR']
This was messed up on most platforms, somewhere when adding them all
I switched to the bad version and continued with that...
I'm on irc if anyone else has any commits to clean this up. I'm going
through things and trying to make sure its working for everyone.
Sorry,
Kent
To enable it you will need to download OpenEXR and install it.
For the Makefiles you will need to set WITH_OPENEXR=true
and set NAN_OPENEXR to point to where OpenEXR is installed.
For scons you'll need to remove config.opts to get the new options
so you can enable OpenEXR, I was not able to get blender to link
with scons so the scons stuff may need to be tweaked a little but
I think it should work.
For other platform managers The OpenEXR stuff is similar to QUICKTIME
you need to define WITH_OPENEXR and setup the library stuff and
as you'll notice in this commit there are two extra files.

Render:
- New; support for dual CPU render (SDL thread)
Currently only works with alternating scanlines, but gives excellent
performance. For both normal render as unified implemented.
Note the "mutex" locks on z-transp buffer render and imbuf loads.
- This has been made possible by major cleanups in render code, especially
getting rid of globals (example Tin Tr Tg Tb Ta for textures) or struct
OSA or using Materials or Texture data to write to.
- Made normal render fully 4x32 floats too, and removed all old optimizes
with chars or shorts.
- Made normal render and unified render use same code for sky and halo
render, giving equal (and better) results for halo render. Old render
now also uses PostProcess options (brightness, mul, gamma)
- Added option ("FBuf") in F10 Output Panel, this keeps a 4x32 bits buffer
after render. Using PostProcess menu you will note an immediate re-
display of image too (32 bits RGBA)
- Added "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders to PostProcess options
- Render module is still not having a "nice" API, but amount of dependencies
went down a lot. Next todo: remove abusive "previewrender" code.
The last main global in Render (struct Render) now can be re-used for fully
controlling a render, to allow multiple "instances" of render to open.
- Renderwindow now displays a smal bar on top with the stats, and keeps the
stats after render too. Including "spare" page support.
Not only easier visible that way, but also to remove the awkward code that
was drawing stats in the Info header (extreme slow on some ATIs too)
- Cleaned up blendef.h and BKE_utildefines.h, these two had overlapping
defines.
- I might have forgotten stuff... and will write a nice doc on the architecture!
* LarstiQ patched SConstruct to have it name tarballs and zips better for 'scons release'
* bump version numbers to 234
* added splash.jpg and datatoc'ed version
* add release notes
People can now do still some final tests. Can you feel the heat?
- Enabled the NDEBUG define (to disable assertions) on all platforms in scons.
This is already the default in Makefiles.
- Free MEdge data after decimating, it is not valid anymore.
* added 'scons wininst'. This will create a NSIS installer for blender.
This will need the NSIS tool in your path (makensis.exe).
The needed scriptfile will be committed seperately, so remember
to 'cvs update -d'
* tested on windows and linux, so other platform maintainers, please
check that the build process is not broken.
- after building blender and blenderplayer an archive is created in bin/ containing all necessary files
- you'll need now python2.3 or newer for SConstruct to go through correctly. This is not a problem,
since Blender requires python2.3 now anyway.
- the release target has been done for linux, win32 and os x, other platforms get a
warning message after blender has been built, just no package. See warning message for instructions
- for linux, osx and win32 the blenderplayer target has been enabled for default
- the build is logged to build.log for all platforms except win32. If you want it, you'll need tee.exe from
http://unxutils.sf.net in your path (I put it in C:\\windows) and change the first if check in the
SConstruct accordingly
http://crd.lbl.gov/~xiaoye/SuperLU/
This is a library to solve sparse matrix systems (type A*x=B). It is able
to solve large systems very FAST. Only the necessary parts of the library
are included to limit file size and compilation time. This means the example
files, fortran interface, test files, matlab interface, cblas library,
complex number part and build system have been left out. All (gcc) warnings
have been fixed too.
This library will be used for LSCM UV unwrapping. With this library, LSCM
unwrapping can be calculated in a split second, making the unwrapping proces
much more interactive.
Added OpenNL (Open Numerical Libary):
http://www.loria.fr/~levy/OpenNL/
OpenNL is a library to easily construct and solve sparse linear systems. We
use a stripped down version, as an interface to SuperLU.
This library was kindly given to use by Bruno Levy.
with all needed files in Ressources dir (.Blanguages, .bfont.ttf, locale)
and with unwanted CVS dirs and DS_Store files removed.
binary is also stripped before inclusion in Bundle.
Sconstruct modified so that Blender build on 10.3 without any additionnal
download than source + darwin libs.
defaults settings correct for 10.3.
fixed bug # 1260 : added MT_NDEBUG flag at top-level.
the directories decrypt, deflate, encrypt, inflate, readstreamglue,
sign, writeblenfile and writestreamglue.
Sirdude was so kind to modify the makefiles, so SCons and
Make are ready to build with the new Blender.
Visual Studio workspaces, solutions and projectfiles still need
to be updated (I'll do the .vcprojs and .sln myself after this commit).
Runtimes created with the Blender Publisher are not anymore
recognised - if you want these available, you'll have to convert
them first to .blends with the Publisher.
* Updates to the cygwin build.
the dna.c file used to be generated with a full path. Cygwin doesn't like
this. The problem was with some cflags and linkflags that are used to build
makesdna.exe
Hos nicely pointed this out and proposed a solution.
Now, these flags are only added to the command when the platform != 'cygwin'.
* Updated some variables in SConstruct.
[SCons] Build with Solid as default when enabling the gameengine in the build process
[SCons] Build solid and qhull from the extern directory and link statically against them
That was about it.
There are a few things that needs double checking:
* Makefiles
* Projectfiles
* All the other systems than Linux and Windows on which the build (with scons) has been successfully tested.
This is contributed by Jonathan Harris. I paste here his comments for further reference:
MSVC will open the database automatically when you debug blender.exe.
The database needs to be explicitly closed before rebuilding by removing
it from the MSVC7 "Solution Explorer" window. Add it back after the build.
TODO: .sbr intermediate files are created in the build tree. These
should be removed by a clean but aren't.
* Added the following flags to config.opts:
- PYTHON_LINKFLAGS
- PLATFORM_LIBS
- PLATFORM_LIBPATH
- PLATFORM_LINKFLAGS
Backup your original config.opts file and run scons again to get these new
options.
* Use freetype-config instead of pkg-config for determining the freetype2
flags.
* The new PYTHON_LINKFLAGS now enable the dynamic linking on Linux and
possibly other platforms as well. This should resolve all linking problems
reported to the mailing lists. (At least for Linux, I can't test other
platforms).
* Default build dir is now: ../build/<platform>/
with <platform> ofcourse the platform you're building on.
This option is still configurable in config.opts. It was just a feature
request.
* Allow the user to specify a different config.opts file from the command
line. This one was at my todo, but Kester was kind enough to implement this
in Tuhopuu2 already. Thanks Kester!
To generate/use a different options file:
scons CONFIG=your_config_options_file
* Blender static now links. By default this option is disabled on all
platforms. Simply set the option in config.opts to 'true'.
* Added the following flags to config.opts:
- HOST_CC. This is the C compiler for the host platform. This value is the
same as TARGET_CC when not cross compiling.
- HOST_CXX. This is the C++ compiler for the host platform. This value is
the same as TARGET_CXX when not cross compiling.
- TARGET_CC. This is the C compiler for the target platform.
- TARGET_CXX. This is the C++ compiler for the target platform.
- TARGET_AR. This is the linker command for linking libraries.
- PATH This is the standard search path
All SConscript files have been updated to reflect these changes. Now it's
possible to change only the root SConstruct file, and all compiler specific
variables are passed automatically to all SConscript files. Of course, this
does not apply to makesdna because there the host and target platform is
different from all other libraries.
To pass a variable that applies to all platforms, all we now have to do is
set the correct value in library_env
Note: as usual, to get the latest options in the config.opts file, first
remove your version.
