[Bf-committers] building blender

Fri Mar 18 16:53:14 CET 2016

quick update

I just received response from the OSL guys. They say that OSL can be built
with 3.5 but blender script seems to want to use 3.4 or 3.6 on this build
of debian testing llvm 3.4 is not in the repo. Why does this version of
blender want to use 3.4 or 3.6 but not 3.5?

Best,
Owen
