[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.
* 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.
* Game engine can now be build on Linux. By default this feature is disabled.
The reason is that you need to have a precompiled version of the ode library
for your gcc version.
To enable ode support you need to do the following:
- compile ode.
- set BUILD_GAMEENGINE = 'true' in the config.opts file.
- set USE_PHYSICS='ode' in the config.opts file.
- set the ODE_INCLUDE and ODE_LIBPATH to valid locations.
* Linking order has changed for the game engine
There are cyclic dependencies between libraries. On linux we have to do some
duplicate linking. I looked at the order of linking in source/Makefile, and
did some clean up.
* libraries are now generated in [BUILD_DIR]/lib
* passed the user_options to all libraries now.
This means I could remove a couple of Export/Import lines.
* Changed the order in source/blender/src/SConscript and
source/gameengine/SConscript.
All libraries are now sorted alphabetically. This has no impact on the build
process.
* Windows .exe file now includes the blender icon.
* Builds with game engine on Windows only.
I tried building the game engine on Linux, but I get weird errors when
building with ode. There's a dirty #include path in
Physics/BlOde/OdePhysicsEnvironment.cpp (../ode/src/joint.h). gcc doesn't
like this somehow.
* Other platforms need to add a couple of flags to the SConstruct:
use_sumo, use_ode, solid_include and ode_include
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.
(also adding a couple of include pathes)
changes in Ode*.cpp to get it compile with gcc 2.95.4
to make it compile with ./configure --with-gameengine
--enable-gameplayer

(adding)
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif
also the Makefile.in's were from previous patch adding
the system depend stuff to configure.ac
