[Bf-committers] unit testing

[Josh Stratton]

Thanks.  I appear to have the build dependencies worked out using scons,
but I don't see a blender binary created.  According to the docs there
should be an "install" directory, which I don't see.  I see a "release" and
"release/bin" containing "blender-softwaregl" and "blender-thumbnailer.py",
but nothing else.

$ python scons/scons.py
...
Install file:
"release/scripts/addons/add_curve_extra_objects/add_curve_torus_knots.py"
as
"/home/josh.stratton/Public/install/linux/2.71/scripts/addons/add_curve_extra_objects/add_curve_torus_knots.py"
Install file:
"release/scripts/addons/add_curve_extra_objects/add_curve_spirals.py" as
"/home/josh.stratton/Public/install/linux/2.71/scripts/addons/add_curve_extra_objects/add_curve_spirals.py"
Install file: "release/scripts/addons/add_curve_extra_objects/__init__.py"
as
"/home/josh.stratton/Public/install/linux/2.71/scripts/addons/add_curve_extra_objects/__init__.py"
scons: done building targets.
