See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/217921 Blender sets WITH_DRACO=OFF if WITH_PYTHON_INSTALL=OFF, however that’s not totally necessary. Removing that forced-set then builds with WITH_DRACO=ON, however Blender fails to launch because this creates e.g. `share/blender/3.6/python`, and Blender then sets this as Python’s home dir, so Python fails to init since it expects Python core to be there (and it’s not). I couldn’t figure out how Blender sets Python’s home dir, and explicitly setting PYTHONHOME in the env didn’t have any effect. So instead just rename that dir to python-ext to avoid this behavior. All that is left then is to adjust where Blender is looking for the Draco lib. This functionality may be verified by: 1. Visiting File → Export → glTF 2.0 2. In the right side panel (press the gear icon in top-right if not visible), expanding “Data” 3. Enabling “Compression” 4. Press “Export glTF 2.0” 5. Verify: - Blender stdout+stderr shows “Draco mesh compression is available” - no error or warning message - exported file exists
