However, I`m using tortoiseSVN, cmake and visual studio 10, and blender`s newest release as of aug 23 and i get some differences from your tutorial. This is the first time i`ve tried cmake or any of the other tools, so it might be a simple problem. I notices that my svn download gives me a blender folder different from the picture in your tutorial. I get 8 folders and 4 files whereas you get 16 folders 0 filds. bf-blender - Revision 39669: /trunk/blender .. CMakeLists.txt COPYING GNUmakefile SConstruct build_files/ doc/ extern/ intern/ po/ release/ scons/ source/ Has blender changed the structure of the svn trunk? When i use cmake on the blender folder i get a pop-up saying Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid. Does this tutorial need updating to match a new svn or am i missing something? thanks, kesten Hi mike. Great tutorial.

Has blender changed the structure of the svn trunk? When i use cmake on the blender folder i get a pop-up saying Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid.

Does this tutorial need updating to match a new svn or am i missing something?

thanks,

Otherwise, you can manually find the dlls. and stuff from the lib directory and copy it over manually. You can go through the log and find out at which step is failed.

It would appear that the .exe's dependencies were not properly put in place. Also, there seem to be some intermediate files left around. Is there a way to run the post-build steps to complete the process? Alright, hmm, I tried to run the blender.exe in the release folder, but it tells me that it cannot find python31.dll.

It's usually not critical, your Blender should have been built already, go check the 'release' folder :) Chris, like you said the error is due to Visual Studio enable to run the ‘post-build’ installation step of the build process.

Everything seems to compile and link correctly, but it appears that it fails while it is copying files to the output directory. I've attached a few screenshots to help illustrate the problem. Basic directory structure: http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/Kira_Vakaan/dir.jpg CMake configuration window: http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/Kira_Vakaan/cmake.jpg VC 2008 Build Output window: http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/Kira_Vakaan/vcoutput.jpg Any light you might be able to shed on the problem would be very appreciated.

Where are you running into the errors, and what are the errors? If you already have a copy of the source, you can just copy the source from one computer to the other like a regular folder.
