Blender nightly build scripts with timer

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:09:12 +0000

I collected few commands into script files to automate the Blender building process on Ubuntu and Windows. There is also timers set to measure the building time. For windows Timeit.exe is needed. It comes with the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools package. Ubuntu script should work on OS X also but I haven’t tested that yet.

Ubuntu
build.sh
#! /bin/bash cd blender; svn update; echo "BF_OPENAL_LIB = 'openal alut'" >> user-config.py; time python scons/scons.py;
Windows
build.bat
PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python26;^ C:\BlenderSVN\lib\windows;^ C:\BlenderSVN\lib\windows\QTDevWin;^ C:\BlenderSVN\lib\windows\pthreads\lib;^ C:\BlenderSVN\lib\windows\pthreads\include;^ C:\MinGW\bin;^ C:\MinGW\lib cd lib\windows svn update cd ..\..\blender svn update timeit python scons/scons.py BF_TOOLSET=mingw

Diving Into Blender

Blender 2.5 is finally approaching usable state and I thought that I could document my learning process here. I never got very far with learning Blender and after quite long break I’ve forgotten almost everything anyway.

As the project progresses rapidly setting up an automatic build system feels like a good starting point. Blender wiki seems to provide some good building info.
