Windows: Can't enable addon in latest Blender

[Dade]

Would it be possible to build both a 3.5 and 3.6 version? I'm pretty sure 2.79a will use latest svn with all deps updated because of the vulnerabilities fuzz/scandal.

It would help a lot to know if 2.79a is going to use Python 3.5 or 3.6. Isn't there someone in Blender Foundation that can answer the question

Normally that should not be an issue as long as no newer py exclusive functions are used ( which are not afaik ).
On Linux and macOS i made it so the module pulls the python from Blender itself.
Dunno if thats possible with Windows, someone should take a look.

The trick is to use dynamic_lookup on macOS or same default link behaviour on Linux and not even link pythonlib.
Maybe Win need a flag set for such like macOS does. ( equivalent to: -undefined dynamic_lookup )

So after asking on IRC, they will decide tomorrow. The rule is to not update libs, but they have to balance it with all the bad publicity they got I guess.

It is quite the ABC of software release.

Because that security-thing I have read around

How is that done in Linux and MacOS? Is there a call to a function similar to what you've linked for microsoft?

My understanding from the cmake files and pyluxcore code is that python lib is never referenced and linked directly, but only through boost.
Is that correct? Then also boost should not be required to link statically to python?

Its cause a module "talks" 2-way with a host. But i really dunno anything about win in this regards.
I doubt you can leave out boost, cause luxcore for sure uses more/other symbols than linked into blender.
Blender relases come with static boost, so only used symbols are to be found ( which explains python works this way )

Of course, they know it and they are the first wanting 2.79a to be stable to concentrate on 2.8x but...

Yes

This gonna be by far my longest awaiting from a blender official release. i feel so compressed while waiting so ...........................to put my hand on the Engine and shoot a real Q3 track time

Why waiting ? Grab an actual testbuild, else we don't get rid of hidden bugs.
Just avoid using such builds as production sw.

Edit: just saw this time we had no testbuilds , but they should show up asap. Today awaiting an "AHOI".

I hope so. Also hope that when testbuilds will be there blender will not refuse to install blendluxcore. I've try with this builds
( https://builder.blender.org/download/ )
and it return error .
