This script builds Blender from its source code, rather than repackaging an existing binary version. The process is therefore more complex and time consuming but allows finer tuning of capabilities of the resulting package. Working through the prerequisite packages from the REQUIRES field of Blender.info results in the following basic build order: libraries/libaec graphics/opencollada libraries/yaml-cpp libraries/ptex graphics/potrace libraries/tbb libraries/dcmtk development/valgrind python/python3-flit_core libraries/robin-map python/python3-installer libraries/freealut libraries/hdf5 graphics/OpenSubdiv python/python3-wheel python/python3-pyproject-hooks libraries/pugixml python/python3-build python/python3-pyproject-metadata python/python3-meson-opt python/python3-packaging-opt python/pybind11 python/python3-mesonpy audio/jack graphics/opencolorio development/python3-numpy graphics/openimageio graphics/Blender
