Rather than bombard this post with patch help, I'll e-mail you directly to see if we can work it out. @adrian

I am struggling to apply a patch (lens_shift) though. I would apprieciate instructions. Thanks in advance. Thanks very much for the instructions, got blender to compile fine using scons on winxp.

Thanks for your thoughts on MSVC and the projectfile link - I just downloaded the vc8 files (june 2006 are the latest ones right?). And thanks for mentioning Cmake since this is something we should all look forward to. I see it mentioned frequently in the mailing lists. @Erwin

And I many all OS'es and build systems, including BeOS, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. In the game industry, which pushes things further then most areas, MSVC is used by 95% of the developers. I've been maintaining MSVC projectfiles, which build out-of-the-box, no fuzz. Just open the .sln file, hit F5 and you go. It includes the zipfile with external dependencies. Unzip the archive and you go. No manual. Unfortunately this requires manual updating. See http://www.continuousphysics.com/ftp/pub/test/index.php?dir=blender/ Luckily, a new buildsystem is coming for Blender, which helps autogenerating projectfiles for Visual Studio, Mac OS X Xcode, KDevelop, but also generated makefiles etc. See the Blender develop mailing list for more details. It is called Cmake, see cmake.org Erwin Don't listen to Unix extremists ;-)

Any chance you could do a write up of how to compile in Mac OSX? Is it any different from mpan3's scons write up (with the exception of adding environment variables)? @CubOfJudahsLion

Is that you Hos? Like a rock. When I tried to build with vc express I had a few issues with linking. I guess you've solved that by copying the files to the vc express directories. Hope to give all this a try sometime but it's a little complicated and can take some time. Thanks though for the tutorial. Saved.

Windows 2000 users (yes, there are some of us) have to use make. Compiling Blender with scons works great for Mac OSX users.
