Prerequisites:
- UNIX
- Git
- blender installed as detailed in gather and link blender addons
Download gather and link utility by world developers:
cd $HOME; git clone https://github.com/faerietree/shell__blenderaddons_gather_and_link
cd $HOME; git clone https://github.com/faerietree/add_mesh_fastener
mkdir $HOME/blender-addons-symlinks; cd $HOME/blender-addons-symlinks && ln -s ../add_mesh_fastener .
PATH_TO_BLENDER_RELEASE=~/blendercad ~/shell__blenderaddons_gather_and_link/gather_and_link_addons.sh
Enjoy. Especially handy for developers because all updates in the symbolically linked folders are reflected instantly. If a folder or symbolic link name changes just rerun the gather, link script as shown in the last command.
