* 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.
* Added the options to build (configurable via config.opts):
- blender dynamic (default enabled),
- blender static (default disabled). Not working because of a linking order
problem. The /usr/lib/libGL.a and /usr/lib/libGLU.a flags need to be
appended at the end of the link command, not directly after the linker.
Mailed the SCons mail list for a possible solution.
- blender player (default disabled). Not implemented yet anyway.
- blender plugin (default disabled). Not implemented yet anyway.
* Added the following variables to the config.opts:
- OPENGL_STATIC. This flag is only needed when building blender static.
- USE_BUILDINFO (true/false). Display build information in the splash
screen. When enabled, it will always rebuild source/creator/buildinfo.c,
so for compilation speed reasons, it is not adviced to enable this all the
time.
I had to make some adjustments specifically for the windows build
(winblender.res) file. This file is only compiled when building the dynamic
blender. I hope this is correct.
-- this finishes the heavier part (not counting tweaks and possible bugs) of
letting scripts be accessed from Blender menus. Will explain more in emails
to bf and bpython lists, but just check
source/blender/python/BPY_menus.[hc] and
source/blender/src/header_info.c and header_script.c for details.
Scripts need a small update (registering info, basically a header) to be used.
Scripts dir (user pref file paths: Python) must be set.
Materials are exported the best we can do by now. It will look almost as in
blender except for the missing procedural textures and some minor issues.
You have to tweak normal modulation amount to get the desired result cause
is not the same in yafray.
We added a panel in render space to adjust some yafray settings (GI and so)
Also we export transparency and reflection using new raytracing settings,
but that will be changed and improved soon.
Remember that you have to set YFexport path in user defaults and yafray must
be on path (version 0.0.6)
We added the "yafray" button to activate all this stuff in the render window.
Panel and settings are only shown when checked.
So now when activated the code calls yafray export instead of the internal
renderer and finally the resulting image is loaded back into render window's
buffer. So animation is also possible and results can be saved using blender
usual scheme.
Updated the Make environment to point to the correct location. The include
paths were still pointing to source/blender/bpython/include while it should be
source/blender/python.
I did not encounter the build problems because I'm always working with the
autoconf build environment.
layout. Old size was 800x600, just not too nice
New size is 900x768. this default small size is for older macs that
dont allow full size 32 bits opengl windows... silly er! :)
again. You'll have to do it twice... first CTRL+C will send an internal
break (exit render loops)
- I prefer this in foreground mode too, but Python uses it as well, to
escape from loops. We have to fix this once.
Removes ssl from blender.
makes the following directorys not needed anymore:
blender/intern/keymaker
blender/source/blender/src/pub
blender/source/blender/encrypt
blender/source/blender/decrypt
blender/source/blender/sign
blender/source/blender/verify
It works with The Nan Makefiles and autoconf, could whoever is working
on the other build systems update them so we can nuke those directorys?
They won't do anything but I figured I'd leave them in for a week or so
to make things easyer on people.

#include <QuickTime/Movies.h> instead of #include <Movies.h> on OS X to
avoid having to specify the full path to the QT headers in the Makefiles
#undef NDEBUG on OS X to avoid errors about ID being declared twice
enable support for QuickTime in the original Makefiles on OS X
This code allows you to load Quicktime images and movies as textures
and render animations to Quicktime movies.
Note that the selected output codec is *not* saved in the blendfile.
To enable Quicktime functionality you need the SDK from Apple:
OSX: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QT6SDK_Mac.hqx
Win: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QT6SDK_Win.hqx
Add the \QTDevWin\CIncludes and \QTDevWin\Libraries directories
from this SDK to your build environment.
Enable the WITH_QUICKTIME compile flag in the following directories:
bf\blender\source\blender\imbuf
bf\blender\source\blender\src
bf\blender\source\blender\render
bf\blender\source\creator
(I noticed its not completely gone yet from the blender/source dir)
But its a big step in the right direction if it doesn't enable
all of the functionatlity already...
(Using cscope for LICENSE_KEY_VALID still turns up some stuff)
