+CUDA support is included if cudatoolkit is installed.
+It may be disabled by passing CUDA=no when building:
CUDA=no sh ./Blender.SlackBuild
-Since Blender-2.83.0, SBo's cudatoolkit-8.0.61 is insufficient for a
-successful build. The CUDA handling above remains for cases which may:
- - use a newer CUDA version toolkit
- - require the existing cudatoolkit for other purposes
- (so need CUDA=no for Blender)
+CUDA support hasn't been thorougly tested, and may break the build. If
+so, build with CUDA=no and report a bug to the maintainer of this
+script.
-Support for embree may be disabled by passing EMBREE=no when building:
+Optional dependency: embree. If installed, Blender will be built with
+support for it. It may be disabled by passing EMBREE=no when building:
EMBREE=no sh ./Blender.SlackBuild
-Version 2.83.8 is the last SBo supported version of Blender for
-building from source code in Slackware64-14.2. A more recent compiler
-(gcc-9.3.1) is required for 2.90.x and later blender versions.
+Note for 32-bit users: embree is 64-bit only, and can't be built on
+32-bit Slackware.

+See also: graphics/blender (note, lowercase B), which repackages the
+official Blender x86_64 release binary.
