when installing to a folder that already existed. Now the uninstaller
will remove only the files it has installed, and leave any other files
in the installation directory intact.
* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.
discussed with Janne, Ton, Nathan and we agreed this kind of change at least needs discussion with module owners.
Its also too close to release to be making these kinds of changes.
commands used:
# reverse merge
svn merge -r36073:36072 .
# for some reason this gave a lot of property changes
svn revert `svn st | grep "^ M" | awk '{print $2}'`
# reverse merging didn't work here, removing while dir.
svn rm extern/eltopo/
# manually fixed conflict in
# ./source/blenderplayer/CMakeLists.txt
#
# also manually removed 2 lines from
# ./CMakeLists.txt
Plugged the eltopo library into the cloth solver.
I was playing with it earlier, and it's so easy to
use I decided to quickly put it in (trunk's) cloth.
See http://www.cs.ubc.ca/labs/imager/tr/2009/eltopo/eltopo.html
. The authors are on the bleeding edge of continuous collision
detection (one of them did ILM's cloth sim).
I
don't really have to time to plug it into softbody, particles,
bullet, fluid, etc, but doing so would be pretty straightforward.
I'll leave that up to someone else.
To use, turn on USE_ELTOPO (in cmake) or WITH_BF_ELTOPO in scons.
- Remove packed to buildbot_archive.zip archive file to keep scons install
directory as clean as possible (if i understood correct, this file isn't
actually needed in the future, so we could remove it just after packing rather
than cleaning install directory before packing as it's done for cmake)
- No need in scripts installation for linux slaves when preparing archive
- Use the same config as we're using for release builds
- Added stipping (maybe it should be generalized)
- Not software gl packing, bot would be easy to add
Note, that you should have special environment to create
proper linux builts (which would work for everybody)

from the patch report:
When building on Mac OSX with SCONS the Info.plist file is zero length and thus OSX cannot identify icons and file type associations.
The problems was in the execution of the "date" command to add times in the modified bundle name strings passed to sed. This failed and thus the info.plist file was overwritten with 0 length file.
For cmake users, you should now use "make install" instead of "make". This was
already changed for Linux and Windows. Same for Xcode, use the install target.
Changes:
* CMake install mechanism, resulting bundle was verified to be indentical here.
* For cmake, include Info.plist in bundle using builtin mechanism for that.
There was some code in packaging.cmake, but it wasn't correct as these
properties need to be set on the executable.
* For scons, fix app bundle version, was still using removed release/VERSION.
* Remove unused blendercreator.app and blenderpublisher.app.
* Fix Info.plist being set as a binary file in svn, should be plain text.
Made changed to linux2-config and freebsd*-config. Windows/MacOS are kept
unchanged.
I'm not sure which flags should be used for freebsd systems, so flags for
them also kept empty. Maintainers of this platform, please check which
flags should be used and make changes to rules.
this also means we can have a version string like '2.56a-beta' without using buildinfo.
release/VERSION was only used by scons, NSIS installer.
Possibly helps to fix bug [#26062] too.
When "svnversion" can't be found (as is usual for anyone running TortoiseSVN), build_revision info will be "", which breaks compiling. Worked around this for now by using "<UNKNOWN>" as this

This was a very ancient patch on my todo list (mid-December 2006). Some things already were done, so I
added now ffmpeg and freetype support for linking statically. FFMPEG part is untested further from my part
so if you run into problems with that, please report.

This adds basic authoring tool and author info ("Blender User" for now).
NOTE: Linux and OSX users need now to update their OpenCOLLADA libs - Blender should now compile fine with their latest revision.
Made some changes to the original patch to ensure linking is done correctly.
Some small cleanups for scons too.
Make it possible to link statically against libgettext. Set WITH_BF_GETTEXT_STATIC to True and put static lib in BF_GETTEXT_LIB_STATIC (absolute path works probably best). BF_GETTEXT_LIB will be ignored.
- remove scons option WITH_BF_FHS, its not needed anymore.
- comment WITH_BF_DOCS, was using epydocs which we dont use now.
- blenderlite target was broken, always using openmp.
- building without python wasnt working.
- fixed some warnings.
dlltool --> build_files/make/dlltool
bin --> release/bin
Since dlltool is only used make + mingw and ./bin is misleading because it would seem the blender binary would be copied there, but its just used for home directory files.
updated scons/cmake/make
