If you build all the libs blender still compiles with this as far as I am aware Does it use the same libs as MSVC2013?

Yes, that is my fault. I will look at wiki. Added a section in the wiki for this (OSX needs versions filled in) http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender#Compiler_Versions I think we should also consider dropping GCC 4.2 on apple as it would quality as the lowest common denominator and Apple seems to peruse a pretty aggressive upgrade campaign with OS X yearly releases. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

Re: [Bf-committers] Is MSVC2008 still to be supported?
From what I recall of that time period, MSVC 2010 was dropped because support was never fully developed. Development favored 2013. Now that we've got 2013 established, I see no reason to go backwards. I don't remember if there were particular advantages in 2010 versus 2008.
