to compile blender with gcc on IRIX, IRIX_USE_GCC needs to be set to true in
user-def.mk.
Other changes related to irix:
* compile solid from extern/
* don't build plugins (yet) with "make release" when using gcc (the shell
script used assumes MIPSpro is installed)
* use statvfs instead of statfs on irix, like done on solaris
* use external libs from $(LCGDIR) instead of /usr/freeware
* use glew header files from $(LCGDIR)/glew instead of the ones installed on
the system (this applies to other platforms as well)
* ffmpeg support currently is disabled on irix
GLEW
====
Added the GLEW opengl extension library into extern/, always compiled
into Blender now. This is much nicer than doing this kind of extension
management manually, and will be used in the game engine, for GLSL, and
other opengl extensions.
* According to the GLEW website it works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X,
FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris. There might still be platform specific
issues due to this commit, so let me know and I'll look into it.
* This means also that all extensions will now always be compiled in,
regardless of the glext.h on the platform where compilation happens.
Game Engine
===========
Refactoring of the use of opengl extensions and other drawing code
in the game engine, and cleaning up some hacks related to GLSL
integration. These changes will be merged into trunk too after this.
The game engine graphics demos & apricot level survived my tests,
but this could use some good testing of course.
For users: please test with the options "Generate Display Lists" and
"Vertex Arrays" enabled, these should be the fastest and are supposed
to be "unreliable", but if that's the case that's probably due to bugs
that can be fixed.
* The game engine now also uses GLEW for extensions, replacing the
custom opengl extensions code that was there. Removes a lot of
#ifdef's, but the runtime checks stay of course.
* Removed the WITHOUT_GLEXT environment variable. This was added to
work around a specific bug and only disabled multitexturing anyway.
It might also have caused a slowdown since it was retrieving the
environment variable for every vertex in immediate mode (bug #13680).
* Refactored the code to allow drawing skinned meshes with vertex
arrays too, removing some specific immediate mode drawing functions
for this that only did extra normal calculation. Now it always splits
vertices of flat faces instead.
* Refactored normal recalculation with some minor optimizations,
required for the above change.
* Removed some outdated code behind the __NLA_OLDDEFORM #ifdef.
* Fixed various bugs in setting of multitexture coordinates and vertex
attributes for vertex arrays. These were not being enabled/disabled
correct according to the opengl spec, leading to crashes. Also tangent
attributes used an immediate mode call for vertex arrays, which can't
work.
* Fixed use of uninitialized variable in RAS_TexVert.
* Exporting skinned meshes was doing O(n^2) lookups for vertices and
deform weights, now uses same trick as regular meshes.
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!
need to be tweaks but it seems to work on my linux box. I haven't
touched any of the other build systems so those will need to be done.
We probably don't need all of this stuff but I figured better to add a little
too much then to little.

libs. I turned off the automatic building of solid in extern/ for
irix since the vendor supplied build system does not work well.
Note to JW: this can be built with either mipspro 7.3 or 7.4
(I needed to archive solid with "CC -ar ..." for this to work
with 7.3).
- 'all' in extern/ first builds every subdir, then also 'install's the
header files and the library. This way a top-level Makefile only needs
to call 'all' for extern/ and have it build and install.
- 'clean' still works as it should
ODE does not build on FreeBSD out of the box, so an automated patchfile
is included as well.
The 'clean' target reverses the patches that were done by 'all'.
