Since we're now on 1.7 we can skip building the OSL testsuite. It was giving various compilation errors on different machines and we don't need them anyway...so just disabling them in the script.
OpenVDB is like a 30-years old lib when it comes to building it - not even a configure.sh script!
This makes it impossible to auto-build (install_deps is not a new CMake!).
So for now, just storing some template code for it, and expected version/deps data
in --show-deps option.
While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

Those stupid ones only have one version of llvm (obviously not 3.4 one ;) ), so we have to build again
LLVM3.4 in those cases. Thing is,
* I did not update LLVM magic number when fixed a stupid typo breaking OSL building (the terminfo thing),
so many people were still using previously-built LLVM.
* Even worse, options passed to OSL to specify own LLVM from /opt/lib were wrong (not sure when this got
out of sync...).
Thanks to mib2berlin and slikdigit for the report & testings!
This commit adds '--build-foo' options to force the script to build relevant libraries
instead of trying to use packages from the distribution.
In addition, it also now offers (with those '--build-foo' options) the possibility
to build libraries on distributions that are not fully supported.
This is limited, but should still help people once they have installed themselves
the basics of dependencies - boost, llvm, osl/osd etc. are not libraries that are
really easy to build.
DISCLAIMER: I did not take the 20 (or more) hours needed to test all combinations
over all distributions, and given the size of the changes, bad sneaky typos are quite
probable, so please report if you get some errors!
Not tested for fedora-like and arch distro, would expect it to work though. Please report otherwise.
Also, always inatll git now (and a few other XOrg -dev packages).
Use --skip-osd to skip building opensubdiv libs,
use --force-osd to force a rebuild of the libs.
I added all needed user information (where to find the include dir, which -D options to set) to the print_info method that is called at the end too, so it should be pretty intuitive to use.

Root of the issue is an (hidden!) parameter in ILMBase cmake options, that
is enabled by default, and force the generation of those ugly lib names
(Imf_2_2.so & co). Why why why enable such thing by default?
Anyway, it should be simpler to build again even on linuxes having the openexr -dev
package installed.
Also, cleaned up a bit things, now we can switch between repo and plain release archive
building from a single place for each lib, instead of commentting/uncommenting everything
each time (for libs where we have some git repo set up for some reason).
