Problems with 'make update', have tried everything here that i could find to no avail (Help Needed)

Have tried a few solutions from this forum, but am having problems building goo engine. I don’t think it has to do necessarily with goo engine itself but let me know. Here is the error message I’m getting:

svn: E155009: Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with ‘C:\goo-engine-git\lib\win64_vc15\python\310\lib\venv\scripts\nt’, work item 30762 (file-install python/310/bin/python.exe 1 0 1 1)

svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run ‘cleanup’ if it was interrupted

Things I have tried/encountered:

  • making sure svn, cmake, and git are all in the system path (after the first time i encountered this)
  • Deleting the whole thing and starting over after i made sure everything was in the system path.
  • this time, couldn’t find python the first make update
  • tried running make update again
  • svn cleanup and then udpate
  • ran make update on more time

It’s a bit of a chicken/egg problem, the update script is a python script, and updating a program while it’s running is a bit problematic on windows. best solution you have when this happens is to run make svnfix in the blender source folder since it will use svn.exe directly

dont u just love windows? as someone who grew up using Unix based systems it is just full of delights such as this lol. will try that, thank you!

Okay, sorry one last question. i did get the same errors again but svn cleanup/update fixed it. Now, its having trouble cloning specific submodules. are these necessary or can i just go forward with building? (i realize all the https’s are all missing a backslash, it wouldn’t let me post with so many links because I’m a new account but they are included on my end)

we no longer use git sub modules, also the git.blender.org server has been retired, not entirely sure what you are trying to build but it seems a little dated? are you following the build instructions from:

https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender

if not, i’d follow that first, to get a regular working main build of blender so you know your environment is capable of making it. Then build your branch or fork or whatever it is you are trying to build.
