[Bf-committers] Migrating Blender builds to Visual Studio 2010

2013-04-17 Thread Jürgen Herrmann
Ok, First test with a fresh VC 2010 Build of version 56113 from SVN. I could measure a speed up of 4.13% in cycles compared to a build (56113) with 2008 and the libs from trunk. It was a simple scene of a character with some SSS and HDRI. I guess that is not much, but it's not a real

Hi There, I'm curious to know - did you investigate why it crashes on startup?, could you link to a stack-trace of the crash? Blender should be quite portable between different compilers so its strange this fails on new msvc. On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 10:38 PM, Jürgen Herrmann shadow...@me.com

Hi. I have basic VC 2012 build working (without Cycles and other fancy stuff). Didn't get time around. Try to disable all extensions with external dependencies like Collada, OpenExr, translations, and even python. After it, you should be able to compile and run minimal Blender. Then try to

Hi Jürgen, first of all thanks for your work and the offer. I doubt that we can change to vc2010 so easily. If we would switch, we would need a couple of MSVC professional licences for the release builders, the build bot and core devs. Also, I rather not have yet another build system to support

Hi Jürgen, Do you know what are the benefits of using VC 2010? Is Blender faster? If there are no benefits for the end user, I don't see a reason to switch. Regarding CUDA, I really hope nVidia will release a new Toolkit soon, which brings some improvements and support for VC 2012, this would

By the way Thomas, I get a strange error when trying to compile OSL from scratch. Multiple error C2874: using-declaration causes a multiple declaration of 'std::tr1::shared_ptr' I just don't get the problem here :-( It seems that boost memory.hpp causes this problem. Do you have a tip on that?

Hi Jürgen, I have not seen this error before. Maybe it's a boost version problem? We still use Boost 1.49 in SVN. Best regards, Thomas Am 15.04.2013 18:59, schrieb Jürgen Herrmann: By the way Thomas, I get a strange error when trying to compile OSL from scratch. Multiple error C2874:
