OK, that's interesting and smart of them. There will still need to be
code written to create a Haiku BApplication object, and probably some
BWindow objects to contain the OpenGL interface. But that should be
much easier than having to port GTK or Qt or some of the other
multi-platform GUI frameworks if it had used one of those instead.

Of course without knowing more about Blender it is hard to say what
all will be needed. But it surely won't just be a matter of compiling.

And I'm not trying to be mean here, just realistic that based on his
questions Skar Cat does not have the needed skills at the moment to
get Blender working on Haiku.
