I FINALLY DID IT.
I have compiled my first Blender fork Bforartists.
I feel very happy. This opens doors to a number of things, including the ability to hire developers (who don't know how to compile) and do my own personal edits to my personal software that I use in the studio. It's a wonderful day.
We are now geared up for the next development cycle of Bforartists and Blender 2.8 sourcecode!
Next steps:
- Build better documentation for Compiling
- Fix some hotkeys
- Start research and working on a Rclick or unified universal contextual PIE menus
- Start working on VSE improvements
