[Bf-committers] OIIO on FreeBSD, or lack thereof

[pete larabell]

Hey all,

Just as a heads up to all that care:

After a few months of trying unsuccessfully to get OIIO to build on
FreeBSD, I've reached out to the OIIO developers for help.

As I understand, Cycles requires OIIO to compile.

If I can't get OIIO working on FreeBSD by the time Cycles get merged,
the FreeBSD builds of Blender will most unfortunately cease to exist.
:(

As stated, I've reached out to OIIO devs for help, and hopefully they
are every bit as helpful as the Blender devs are, and we get this
fixed soon. If anyone here in the Blender community has a really good
understanding of makefiles are is willing to assist, the help would
most certainly be welcome.

Cheers!
Pete
