My blender build in Windows is failing.

Some warning show up right at the beginning:

At the end of the build I get the following errors:

My build environment:

Windows Version 10.0.19042.1165
VS Build Tools 2019 16.11.2 (no IDE)
CUDA 11.1.0
Optix 7.1.0
Cmake 3.21.2
Sliksvn: 1.14.1
Git: 2.33.0.2

CMakeCache.txt edits:

WITH_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES=ON

CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES_ARCH:STRING=sm_86;compute_75
**Notebook GeForce RTX 3060; Do’t know if I need to include the “compute_75” line

WITH_CYCLES_DEVICE_OPTIX:BOOL=ON

OPTIX_ROOT_DIR=C:/ProgramData/NVIDIA Corporation/OptiX SDK 7.1.0
**Had to add this line that I found on the wiki (Building Blender/CUDA - Blender Developer Wiki)

WITH_CODEC_FFMPEG:BOOL=OFF

Steps to build:

1-git clone git://git.blender.org/blender.git
2-make update 2019b
3-git checkout v2.93.3
4-make full nobuild 2019b
5-Edit CMakeCache.txt
6-rebuild 2019b

You are building 2.93 against master svn libs, you can grab the correct libraries by moving your current win64_vc15 folder out of the way and running

svn co https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/tags/blender-2.93-release/lib/win64_vc15

Thank you very much for your patience/helpfulness LazyDodo

The build worked this time, though I still got 9 Warnings:

Are these “normal” because of the small modifications I made to the build?

These warnings are expected, and not due to anything you did.
