* These changes bring cross-compiling Blender for Windows on Linux one step
closer to reality. The 'biggest' change is in makesdna SConscript to make
sure a linux native makesdna is built, that can be run, too. Next to that
proper checks for env['OURPLATFORM']=='linuxcross' are added in various
places.
Switch change in pluginapi.c was necessary, and AFAIK it should work like
that also on WIN32, if not, slap me.
Note: everything *compiles* now nicely, it is just that the final *linking*
doesn't work (yet). Anyone who fixes this will be the
hero of cross-compilers :)
* when WITH_BF_STATICOPENGL=1 on Linux Blender will be statically linked
against GL libraries. NOTE: I used values that worked on my machine -
platform managers and people who have better knowledge about this, please
modify config/linux2-config.py accordingly.
* This commit is all of the rewrite work done on the SCons system. For
documentation see doc/blender-scons.txt and doc/blender-scons-dev.txt.
Also http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/SconsRefactoring
contains valuable information, along with what still needs to be done.
- linux, os x and windows compile now.
- files are compiled to BF_INSTALLDIR (see config/(platform)-config.py)
- NOTE: Jean-Luc P will commit sometime during the weekend proper
appit() for OS X. For now, copy the resulting binary to an
existing .app bundle.
- features:
- cleaner structure for better maintenance
- cleaner output during compile
- better handling of build options
- general overall speed increase
- see the wiki for more info
Cygwin, FreeBSD and Solaris systems still need work. For these systems:
1) copy a config/(platform)-config.py to ie. config/cygwin-config.py
2) set the proper defaults for your platform
3) mail me at jesterking at letwory dot net with you configuration. if
you need any modifications to the system, do send a patch, too.
I'll be giving first-aid today and tomorrow, after that it'll be all
regular development work :)
