[Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

[Jeffrey]

Sure thing. The packages I had to install I found through failed 
compiling attempts, so your required packages might vary.


Install glew-devel, libXmu-devel

Skip bootstrap.py and go straight into cmake-gui

Point ILM libs to /opt/lib/openexr/lib/...

Enable HDF5 and point HDF5_DIR to /usr/bin

Disable USE_PYALEMBIC or it will give you errors about missing pyilm 
(which I cannot build). If disabled, you do not need to specify the 
pyilm libs to build.

In the options, the only options I have selected are USE_HDF5, 
USE_LIB64, USE_STATIC_BOOST, USE_STATIC_HDF5 (a total of 4 options). You 
must use HDF5 or Blender's cmake configure will throw an error.

make

make install
