Hi all! I was thinking that adding a building guide to the dev wiki
tutorials would be very nice.
You'd have a main page with a matrix of platforms and build tools, like so:
win32 linux solaris MacOS (etc)
scons/mingw <link> - - -
scons/gcc - <link> <link> <link>
scons/msvc <link> - - -
make/mingw <link> - - -
make/gcc - <link> <link> <link>
msvc <link> - - -
(etc)
Along with some general links to e.g. the scons documentation, and how
to do patches, cvs etc.
Then for each page linked there's a standard step-by-step layout
kind-of like this one:
http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50063#50063
The pages should also contain links to other external guides about the
same topic (especially if the tutorial is still a stub)
The big advantage of wiki pages for this (as opposed to the current
(out-of-date) blender guide pages) is that it can be updated by anyone
whenever they encounter (and hopefully solve) a new problem. This
would be a big help for new developers. What do you think? I am able
to do the build guide page & the scons/mingw page at least.
