Adds a minimal DirectX 11 Ghost context, plus some shared DirectX-OpenGL
resource interface using the NV_DX_interop2 WGL extension. From what I
know, this should be available on modern GPUs. If not, it should fail
gracefully.
There should be no user visible changes at this point.
Needed for DirectX-only OpenXR platforms (e.g. Windows Mixed Reality). I
heard there are other use-cases as well though.
It's known that this currently fails on some AMD systems, but that seems
to be fixable.
Most of this comes from the 2019 GSoC project, "Core Support of Virtual
Reality Headsets through OpenXR"
(https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/).

This is a more correct fix to the issue Brecht was fixing in D6600.
While the fix in that patch worked fine for linking it broke ASAN
runtime under some circumstances.
For example, `make full debug developer` would compile, but trying
to start blender will cause assert failure in ASAN (related on check
that ASAN is not running already).
Top-level idea: leave it to CMake to keep track of dependency graph.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that target like "blender" is
configured to use a lot of static libraries coming from Blender sources
and to use external static libraries. There is nothing which ensures
order between blender's and external libraries. Only order of blender
libraries is guaranteed.
It was possible that due to a cycle or other circumstances some of
blender libraries would have been passed to linker after libraries
it uses, causing linker errors.
For example, this order will likely fail:
libbf_blenfont.a libfreetype6.a libbf_blenfont.a
This change makes it so blender libraries are explicitly provided
their dependencies to an external libraries, which allows CMake to
ensure they are always linked against them.
General rule here: if bf_foo depends on an external library it is
to be provided to LIBS for bf_foo.
For example, if bf_blenkernel depends on opensubdiv then LIBS in
blenkernel's CMakeLists.txt is to include OPENSUBDIB_LIBRARIES.
The change is made based on searching for used include folders
such as OPENSUBDIV_INCLUDE_DIRS and adding corresponding libraries
to LIBS ion that CMakeLists.txt. Transitive dependencies are not
simplified by this approach, but I am not aware of any downside of
this: CMake should be smart enough to simplify them on its side.
And even if not, this shouldn't affect linking time.
Benefit of not relying on transitive dependencies is that build
system is more robust towards future changes. For example, if
bf_intern_opensubiv is no longer depends on OPENSUBDIV_LIBRARIES
and all such code is moved to bf_blenkernel this will not break
linking.
The not-so-trivial part is change to blender_add_lib (and its
version in Cycles). The complexity is caused by libraries being
provided as a single list argument which doesn't allow to use
different release and debug libraries on Windows. The idea is:
- Have every library prefixed as "optimized" or "debug" if
separation is needed (non-prefixed libraries will be considered
"generic").
- Loop through libraries passed to function and do simple parsing
which will look for "optimized" and "debug" words and specify
following library to corresponding category.
This isn't something particularly great. Alternative would be to
use target_link_libraries() directly, which sounds like more code
but which is more explicit and allows to have more flexibility
and control comparing to wrapper approach.
Tested the following configurations on Linux, macOS and Windows:
- make full debug developer
- make full release developer
- make lite debug developer
- make lite release developer
NOTE: Linux libraries needs to be compiled with D6641 applied,
otherwise, depending on configuration, it's possible to run into
duplicated zlib symbols error.

No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
Unity itself is deprecated, but the API is also supported by KDE and the GNOME Dock extension,
which means that it will be useful for a wide variety of distributions.
To get a progress bar, the system must have a blender.desktop file and libunity installed.
The need for libunity is annoying, but the only alternative would be to integrate a DBus library...

Offscreen contexts are not attached to a window and can only be used for rendering to frambuffer objects.
CGL implementation : Brecht Van Lommel (brecht)
GLX implementation : Clément Foucault (fclem)
WGL implementation : Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii)
Other implementation are just place holder for now.
It has been deprecated since at least macOS 10.9 and fully removed in 10.12.
I am unsure if we should remove it only in 2.8. But you cannot build blender with it supported when using a modern xcode version anyway so I would tend towards just removing it also for 2.79 if that ever happens.

A new option '-a' can be passed to the blenderplayer. It forces the
framebuffer to have an alpha channel.
This can be used in VideoTexture to return a image with alpha channel
with ImageViewport (provided alpha is set to True on the ImageViewport
object and that the background color alpha channel is 0, which is the
default).
Without the -a option, the frame buffer has no alpha channel and
ImageViewport always returns an opaque image, no matter what.
In Linux, the player window will be rendered transparently over
the desktop.
In Windows, the player window is still rendered opaque because
transparency of the window is only possible using the 'compositing'
functions of Windows. The code is there but not enabled (look for
WIN32_COMPOSITING) because 1) it doesn't work so well 2) it requires
a DLL that is only available on Vista and up.
give precedence to AA over Swap copy:
Certain GPU (intel) will not allow MSAA together with swap copy.
Previously, swap copy had priority over MSAA: fewer AA samples would be
chosen if it was the condition to get swap copy. This patch reverse the
logic: swap copy will be abandonned if another swap method (undefined or
exchange) will provide the number of AA samples requested. If no AA
samples is requested, swap copy still has the priority of course.
Load driver dynamically at runtime instead of weak-linking the
3Dconnexion framework. Driver no longer needed at build time!
Works with really old drivers (as in PowerMac old), more recent
versions, and the latest which allows us to process events on a
separate thread.
Original patch by @random (D765) with some minor work done by @campbell

At this place, I'd like call out a number of people who were involved and
deserve a big "Thank you!":
* At the first place @randon who developed and submitted the patch
* The Blendercn community which helped a lot with testing - espacially
* @yuzukyo, @leon_cheung and @kjym3
* @campbellbarton, @mont29 and @sergey for their help and advises during
* review
* @ton who realized the importance of this early on and asked me for

We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the

Thanks to dfelinto for help in finding of root cause.
Now the active monitor size is used on startup.
Currently the cursor position is checked for intersection with the monitor bounds to find the active screen.

When the version number is changed to 2.64, the "Copy Previous Settings" operator

Not all file formats/calls are supported yet. It will be expended.
Please from now on use BLI_fopen, BLI_* for file manipulations.
For non-windows systems BLI_fopen just calls fopen.
For Windows, the utf-8 string is translated to utf-16 string in order to call UTF version of the function.
- building with GHOST/SDL now adds the PREFIX
- image.external_edit operator errors out if the filepath isnt set (was annoying and loaded gimp while running tests)
NDOF is disabled in CMake.
- Added "default" section to switch in sendMotionEvent.
It's what strict gcc rules don't like much and it's
And it's good practice in general, imo.
- added includes for spnav
- added FindSpacenav.cmake which allows using spacenav from a nonstandard path.
- remove NDOF_LIBPATH, use a full library path instead.
