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

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

make wheel-test

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

make luxcoreui

-Build dependencies:
-Use local plain build or local CI build of LuxCoreDeps
+* Step#1: Build dependencies locally
+Use [[Building_LuxCoreRender#Local_Plain_Build|local plain build]] or [[Building_LuxCoreRender#Local_Continuous_Integration | local CI build]] of LuxCoreDeps
-Inject local dependencies in LuxCore build:
-<pre>python -m build-system.luxmake.deps --local <path/to/deps></pre>

+<pre>python -m build-system.luxmake deps --local <path/to/deps> --release test</pre>
-Build a wheel for test:
+* Step#3: Build a testing wheel
 <pre>make wheel-test</pre>
-Inject wheel for test in Blender:
-Use BlendLuxHelper

+Use [[Developing_and_debugging_BlendLuxCore | BlendLuxHelper]]
