Building LuxCoreRender - FAQ

Is it possible, in a develop & debug context, to set-up a local-only, end-to-end, build chain?

Yes it is, but for Linux only, at the moment, and starting with v2.11.

Also, important caveat: this kind of build is solely intended for development and tests. Do not use in production

• Step#1: Build dependencies locally

Use local plain build or local CI build of LuxCoreDeps

• Step#2: Inject local dependencies in LuxCore build

python -m build-system.luxmake deps --local <path/to/deps> --release test

• Step#3: Build a testing wheel

make wheel-test

• Step#4: Inject testing wheel in Blender:

Use BlendLuxHelper

For a debugging with luxcoreui only, one can also replace steps #3 & #4 by:

• Step#3bis: Build luxcoreui:

make luxcoreui
