Blender is developed very rapidly so at least once a day depending on how rapidly you are making your changes. 1. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Contents On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 9:26 PM, Menglee Guy <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the quick reply. > Sorry I still need a little clarification. > > My directory looks like this: > > c:\blender-git\blender (master) > c:\blender-git\build_windows > > So, are you saying we work and modify the source code in the build_windows, > then copy the changes to the master for check in? > > MG > > On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 7:09 PM, Jacob Merrill <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Make a build directory, run cmake, and then your build directory will > have > > the source in it, to to update use git pull. > > On Feb 5, 2016 5:53 PM, "Menglee Guy" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Just wanted to say hi everyone! > > > > > > My name is Menglee Guy, I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. > > > I am interested in contributing and this will be my first open source > > > project. > > > > > > I have followed the instructions and have built blender on windows 10. > > > > > > Now, I have some newbie questions. > > > > > > c:\blender-git\blender is the master branch on my computer. > > > > > > 1.
