Error building USD

Community Build and Deployment

Hi, I’m trying to build OpenUSD using the build_usd.py but it keeps giving me errors. I fixed most of them, but this last one I have no idea what is causing it. It just stops after during the process of

STATUS: Installing USD...

Right after the commands:

     Creating library C:/OpenUSD/build/OpenUSD/pxr/usd/usdSkel/Release/_usdSkel.lib and object C:/OpenUSD/build/OpenUSD/pxr/usd/usdSkel/Release/_usdSkel.exp
  _usdSkel.vcxproj -> C:\OpenUSD\build\OpenUSD\pxr\usd\usdSkel\Release\_usdSkel.pyd

the last few lines are:

See C:\OpenUSD\build\OpenUSD\log.txt for more details.

Any ideas or suggestion?

Thank you!

I fixed the problem in a very unexpected way, I noticed that it was raising a RuntimeError on the function Run() of the build_usd_py. So just to test I’ve commented the part:

    if p.returncode != 0:
        # If verbosity >= 3, we'll have already been printing out command output
        # so no reason to print the log file again.
        if verbosity < 3:
            with open("log.txt", "r") as logfile:
                Print(logfile.read())
        raise RuntimeError("Failed to run '{cmd}'\nSee {log} for more details."
                           .format(cmd=cmd, log=os.path.abspath("log.txt")))

and run the script. Ok, it completed without errors (obviously) but it didn’t work since the build wasn’t completed (as expected). However, when I uncommented this part and ran the build script again it built successfully.
