First time building blender, missing directory

Building Blender
1

Hello, I am trying to build blender for the first time. I am totally new to building from source and have exhausted all of the self help methods that I currently possess. All the terrible things in this error log seem to root from this error:

error: no such file or directory: 
'Build/blender/../lib/darwin/openmp/include'no such file or 
directory: 'Build/blender/../lib/darwin/openmp/include'clang:

I have no idea how to go about locating and installing any missing dependancies if that is in fact the issue at hand and If someone could look at this error log and point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it.

Do you have a “lib” directory parallel to your blender directory, and does that lib have a darwin directory in it? If not, did you do a “make update” before doing the make, and did that succeed in using svn to fetch lib/darwin? You can also manually use svn to get the library – see https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Tools/Subversion

@Howard_Trickey, I have got the Darwin directory, Ive done several make updates, and I have deleted the whole thing and recloned several times as well to no effect.

Strange, because that include dir is there in the svn repo. You could always try disabling openmp in your build options (I use cmake-gui to see and change options). Not an ideal solution but would let you see how widespread the problem is.

I think the issue is that your build folder name contains a space: Blender Build. The easy workaround for now is to avoid that. We should fix that in the build system though.

Yep that fixed it, thank you.

Not on osx, but this might fix:

Indeed, I’ve committed that now.
