Couple of things here:
- Boost is not necesserily compiled into your /opt/lib and system-wide
version might have been used. The recent change in Alembic did not
take this into account.
- Alembic needs some extra component of Boost.
This part might be missing now for other distros than DEB.
This provides us with a clearer API (so I don't have to use const_cast<>
in upcoming code). It also allows layering of different Alembic files,
so you can have a base file and load a separate file containing overrides.
Verbally approved by Dr. Sergey.
Alembic requires one of ALEMBIC_LIB_USES_BOOST, ALEMBIC_LIB_USES_TR1, or
C++11, and silently defaults to the latter if the former two are OFF.
Before this change, Alembic was only built without C++11 of OpenEXR
was built at the same time. This dependency was both unnecessary and
undocumented.
Currently the tests don't run on windows for the following reasons
1) render_graph_finalize has an linking issue due missing a bunch of libraries (not sure why this is not an issue for linux)
2) This one is more interesting, in test/python/cmakelists.txt ${TEST_BLENDER_EXE_BARE} and ${TEST_BLENDER_EXE} are flat out wrong, but for some reason this doesn't matter for most tests, cause ctest will actually go out and look for the executable and fix the path for you *BUT* only for the command, if you use them in any of the parameters it'll happily pass on the wrong path.
3) on linux you can just run a .py file, windows is not as awesome and needs to be told to run it with pyton.
4) had to use the NAME/COMMAND long form of add_test otherwise $<TARGET_FILE:blender> doesn't get expanded, why? beats me.
5) missing idiff.exe for msvc2015/x64 in the libs folder.
This patch addresses 1-4 , but given I have no working Linux build environment, I'm unsure if it'll break anything there
5 has been fixed in rBL61751

Some platforms are having hard time using this linker so added an option
to not use it. The options is an advanced one and enabled by default so
should not cause any changes for current users.
Seems CMake will rearrange and copy libraries which are passed to the linker
when some of the libraries is listed twice (for example, -lz from png libraries
and -l for blender itself). This was causing libopenimageio to be added somewhere
at the end of linking flags without -ldl followed after which was causing linking
issues.
When ED_screen_animation_play is called from wm_event_do_handlers,ScrArea *sa = CTX_wm_area(C); is NULL in ED_screen_animation_timer.
Informing the audio system in CTX_data_main_set, that a new Main has been set.
