http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Unix_FHS for scons WITH_BF_FHS enabled an alternative layout eg. scons WITH_BF_FHS=1 BF_INSTALLDIR="/usr/local" for CMake just run "make install" after make (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used for the base path) Currently only scripts use both the system and user path correctly, other areas of blender have their own path code inline with lots of ifdefs, needs to be carefully updated.
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/community/get-involved Community: http://www.blender.org/Community Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender Documentation: http://www.blender.org/education-help Bug tracker: http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug Feature request tracker: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Requests
