Cycles Standalone Repository
Plans and Ideas for a Cycles Standalone Repository (CSR).
Specifications
- CSR will be hosted on git.blender.org / developer.blender.org
- CSR should get a dedicated build system, also cmake only.
- Libs can still be used from Blender (e.g. https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/win64_vc12/) This way we don't need separate libraries.
Issues / Open Questions
How to avoid 2 different repositories? Issues:
- CSR only needs cmake, for blender we also have scons files. It's fine to have WITH_CYCLES_BLENDER parts in the CSR cmake files of course, but what about scons?
- How to deal with CSR only changes (GUI lib dependencies for example).
Long Term Plans
- Proper API (JSON, C, or Binary Dump).
- Dedicated Standalone APP with QT5.
