disclaimer: I am not trying to be mean or to be discouraging. If one chimp can do it, so can another! However... I suspect your problems stem from a mismatch between your skill-set and that of a typical software developer. No one who writes code needs to be told to install a text editor or compiler. The push/pull system is either Git (which I agree is painful), or the package manager for your operating system, depending on what push/pull means. Yes, you need the Blender source and some specific libraries that are unlikely to be present on a typical workstation, but that is what the instructions are about. The install_deps.sh script is an attempt to make this easier, but it is platform-specific which means it is not a universal cure. -- Stephen Swaney [email protected] 231-313-2492 skype: sswaney (GMT-4) _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
