[Bf-committers] unit testing

[Campbell Barton]

You didn't say what OS you're on but each platform has similar steps:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender
Link to your OS (eg Linux)

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender/Linux
Link to the Distro (eg Ubuntu/CMake)

Each doc on building has a section like this:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu/CMake#Get_the_source
