I've been following this tutorial on how to build blender as a python module. I am current working on a Mac. I've successfully got the source from Git, but I'm stuck trying to edit the CMake parameters. The manual says the following:

enter image description here

The first thing I tried was running cmake ../blender, editing the ~/blender-git/build/CMakeCache.txt file, and running make (first option). But I got the following error:

enter image description here

The second thing I tried was setting the parameters on the command line (last option), but when the ~/blender-git/build/CMakeCache.txt file was generated, the options I had entered were not actually changed.

If I run cmake and make without changing any parameters, everything works perfectly. I must be doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated.

  • You need to install the correct Python version first. Here it is very important that you have the exact python version (so 3.6 will not do if you need 3.7) installed that blender uses (see the python console inside blender to see the version it uses). The current python version for Blender 2.80-Beta is 3.7 – Robert Roth Jul 26 '19 at 10:13
  • This ccmake option method works for me: cd ~/blender-git then sudo ccmake build (at least if your build directory is called "build") then change the settings you want and don't forget to press c (for configure) and g (for generate) before quitting with q – Robert Roth Jul 26 '19 at 10:39
