I've compiled Blender 2.79 for macOS by using

mkdir ~/blender-build cd ~/blender-build git clone http://git.blender.org/blender.git cd blender make update

cd ~/blender-build/blender make

Could someone let me know how to compile the latest Blender 2.8 Beta

Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ Since you have the repo would checkout blender and its submodules to blender2.8 branch. with something like git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive Make a blender_build_2.8 (or whatever) folder then follow same as for 2.79. Recommend having repo in same folder level as builds and checkout to target branch (or master) before making and installing. A tool like cmake_gui is handy. Unfortunately building blender questions are considered off topic. ` $\endgroup$

I'm on windows but AFAIK it's the same method, the code for downloading 2.8's repo is:

git clone git://git.blender.org/blender.git -b blender2.8

If your make doesn't work, try maybe make 2017 full (or make 2017 release for CUDA handling).
