Steps to build bpy

Linux

1. Change directory to this path: cd ./docker/bpy
2. Create bpy image: DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -t bpy:latest --output out .
   • See here to learn about --output and why we have two different stages
3. The bpy module will be at ./out directory

MacOS

1. Make sure you have:
   • cmake
   • Python executable at: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/python3.10
     • Don't use homebrew. Download the Installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/. This automatically change the default python system-wide to the latest version.
2. mkdir blender-git; cd blender-git;
3. git clone https://github.com/blender/blender.git -b blender-v3.1-release --depth 1
4. cd blender-git/blender
5. make update
   • It creates blender-git/lib folder
6. make bpy
7. Outputs:
   • /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/Resources/3.1/**
   • /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bpy.so
   • blender-git/build_darwin_bpy/bin/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/**
   • blender-git/build_darwin_bpy/bin/Blender.app/Contents/PkgInfo
