Just committed a cmake option 'WITH_SYSTEM_BULLET' so distros can use their own bullet packages (as the gentoo maintainer requested), So I think the changes from our side are done, just need to have bullet updated since it doesn't compile yet with latest stable bullet in arch-linux (2.81). (note I did get it to compile with some edits to our source, but those are just to disable a few areas that failed). The CMake options documented not to work yet and marked as advanced to avoid enabling by accident. -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
