Building blender 2.5

I've finnally gotten around to building the new version of blender 2.5 on a VM of ubuntu. It look good and has alot of eye candy. I guess this it was is needed this day and age of looks and function. It is running a little slower thean 2.49. I'm guessing this is debug code.

So here is who I built blender 2.5.

sudo apt-get install build-essential scons g++ libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxi-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6-dev libtiff4-dev libopenexr-dev libsdl1.2-dev libopenal-dev python2.6-dev libfftw3-dev libsamplerate0-dev libjack-dev libavformat-dev libxvidcore4-dev libogg-dev libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libx264-dev libmp3lame-dev libvorbis-dev libtheora-dev libswscale-dev libavdevice-dev subversion

edit user-config.py with the following.

WITH_BF_FFMPEG = 'true'

BF_FFMPEG_LIB = 'avformat avcodec avutil xvidcore ogg faac faad x264 mp3lame vorbis theora vorbisenc swscale avdevice'

WITH_BF_OPENAL = 'true'

WITH_BF_GAMEENGINE='true'

WITH_BF_FFTW3 = 'true'

WITH_BF_PLAYER='false'

WITH_BF_VERSE='false'

WITH_BF_YAFRAY='false'

BF_PYTHON_VERSION = '3.1'

WITH_BF_JACK = 'true'

It also look like python 3.1.1 is needed for build 23110.

I installed python 3.1.1 from the python website. http://www.python.org/downloads.

scons builds without any major errors

cmake build error. I'll check the error I'm getting later this week.

I will try x64 build on a real box later this week.
