I tried to build blender master branch by following instructions on official building blender wiki page on my gentoo linux system.
I ran make in blender directory and i get errors.
The part of the log you pasted didn’t contain the actual error message. Please build with one process only (make -j1) and post the entire log if you are unsure what the error is, otherwise post that actual error.
The PYTHON_NUMPY_PATH-NOTFOUND part stands out to me. Maybe take a look at your configured make options, specifically the ones for the paths for numpy.
Thank you, I changed the python numpy path in CMakeCache.txt to /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages and make was sucessfull and then i did make install.
Now when i ran blender from bin directory, i get
Blockquote

Not quite sure. In my 2.8 (not quite master, but close enough), I have a PYTHON_NUMPY_PATH value of /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, but I also have Python 3.7, not 3.6. I am not familiar enough to know what might be the problem module that you are missing from your system Python to get Blender building. Perhaps wait for a dev to chime in.
