Download of Blender 2.49b source code
Hi all,
A friend of mine asked me to try some adjustment on older version of Blender. I've got source code of 2.49b however I found out I am not able to compile it on XP. This source code is relevant to Python2.2 but when I download current Extern libs from https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blen ... ib/windows, I get files for Python3.1. It seems that 7years difference exists.
Can anybody advice how to download from SVN a complete sources for Blender 2.49 including Extern libraries for WIN ?
Many thanks for Your time, have a nice day

Blender 2.49b used Python 2.5 or 2.6 on most platforms, OSX being a notable exception. Don't be fooled by the api_2.2 directory.
You can get the 2.49b source by checking out the tag
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blen ... 9b-release
For the libs, either install the older versions, or check them out from ../trunk/libs using -r revision-number. You will need to look at the svn log to see an appropriate time frame.

Here's what I do:
set ROOT=https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender
svn co %ROOT/tags/blender-2.49b-release blender
svn co %ROOT/tags/lib2.4/windows lib/windows
set ROOT=https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender
svn co %ROOT/tags/blender-2.49b-release blender
svn co %ROOT/tags/lib2.4/windows lib/windows
Hi stiv and Anthony,
Thanks for your help, I finally downloaded extern windows libraries. As I have VS2010 I tried to build it via this, compilation somehow works but linking has bunch of errors - it seems I would need sources for: freetype2ST.lib, Half.lib, Iex.lib, IlmImf.lib etc.
It seems I really have to go back to previous VS.

Hi stiv,
I downloaded MS2008 Express, extern libs and Blender-2.49-release. Then I corrected project include paths, renamed some referenced libs, finally I did build. Compilation and linking without error, but I can't launch blender as I get message:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xC0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I've been searching the reason a few days but I haven't found a reason.
Have you ever seen this on WIN XP ?

I found some discrepancies in Blender linking for projectfiles_vc9:
(x) project has reference to ftgl_static_ST.lib:
in lib\windows\ftgl\libs available ftgl_static_ST.lib
in build\msvc_9\libs\extern\mtdll\debug available ftgl_static.lib
(x) project has reference to openal_static_ST.lib:
in lib\windows\openal\lib available OpenAl32.lib
... so I had to try renames.
I was also surprised that when I downloaded 2.49 release source I was not able to compile as several files were not included in project. So I had to seek them and add them manually in their projects.
Sources from SVN should be compilable at once I think.

Hey guys, i am very new to blender but i am very interested in not just using blender but also working on some projects on blender. i am a B.tech student, i am very good i c programming, knows python and opengl. is these enough to hand me an oppurtunity to work on the blender source code? Now, please help me as i am very new to this. i am ofcourse using linux ubuntu and i managed to get the source code for blender. So how do i get started to learn it? are there ne manuals or tutorials on the code of blender?
why is it I always get trouble when I follow instructions, i tried to compile the blender player source found at that link and got this error:stiv wrote:Blender 2.49b used Python 2.5 or 2.6 on most platforms, OSX being a notable exception. Don't be fooled by the api_2.2 directory.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:13 (SETUP_LIBDIRS):
Unknown CMake command "SETUP_LIBDIRS".
so, I'm hoping there is still someone here who can help with this.
