Upbge: I can not compile the UPBGE, Please Help me!

[JJGamerDe]

I have more than 2 months trying to compile the UPBGE and I can not at all
I downloaded the master thousands of times and always made the mistake!
help me I'm going crazy !!!

I do not know what changed to compile, I always compile the blender without problems, but the upbge I never got!

I can not get more detailed information about the process anywhere!

please someone tell me step by step how to compile, I can not take it anymore, I'm 36 years old and I can have a heart attack!!

I don't even know what system your using...

Please provide more information:

• OS
• version (from git)
• the log, I will never bet you have an empty compilation log
• how are you managing dependencies

Please provides such information and we will perfectly able to help you.

I'm using Windows 10
my git: 2.18.0

I always start from the compilation form of the common blender

cd C:\blender-git
git clone https://github.com/UPBGE/blender.git
cd blender
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule foreach git checkout master
git submodule foreach git pull --rebase origin master

then I download the libs

https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/windows_vc14

cd lib\windows_vc14
svn update
cd ....\blender
git pull --rebase
git submodule foreach git pull --rebase origin master

then comes the part that I can not anymore, Cmake I try the configure button and always the error.

Could you tell me how to compile from scratch?

[panzergame]

Thanks for the information, but I still need some more.
What is the error in the cmake gui pop up ? Also there's a log at the bottom of the GUI, could you paste it here ?

[JJGamerDe]

I think it's something I'm doing wrong, could you please tell me step by step how you compile?

[nestanqueiro]

Hi,
it seems you are missing the libs... in linux you have to run blender-git/blender/build_files/build_environment/install_deps.sh... not sure how to proceed in windows... but surely there must be good tutorials on how to get/compile the libs...

good luck

[lordloki]

Yes, you don't have the libraries installed:

cd C:\blender-git
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/windows_vc14  lib/windows_vc14

[JJGamerDe]

I believe the procedure is the same.

yes, I tried to use the installdeps most of this error:

Note: it took me a long time to get a print of the error, the cmd was closing too fast

and as incredible as it seems I think it will not be because I do not have python ...
I forgot to install I had on my other pc
I think I just have PyCharm, which I use!

Okay, I'm going to download python and it's! \o/

[lordloki]

You don't need to use install_deps.sh on windows as you have all the libraries you need already compiled in lib/windows_vc14.

The error that you obtain when you run cmake GUI is that CMAKE doesn't find the libraries in lib/windows_vc14 then you need to be sure that you have the libraries there.

Checkout the libraries with the commands that I put before:

cd C:\blender-git
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/windows_vc14  lib/windows_vc14

lordloki

I was doing this plus the libs took too long to download
I downloaded it and it's ready

still the same error ...

[lordloki]

You have checked out the lib/windows_vc14 inside blender folder. You have to move that lib folder to blender-git folder

[JJGamerDe]

it's working!!

incredible!!!
was not working because I left the libs in
\blender-git\blender

I've been trying for a long time!
thank you so much! lordloki!!

[JJGamerDe]

I have another problem...

it's just a question: Where do I get as dlls? python37_d.dll,avcodec-58.dll,,avdevice-58.dll?
this upbge version uses the Blender 2.8 files?

[lordloki]

you're welcome!

[panzergame]

@JJGamerDe : You have to generate solution "INSTALL"

[lordloki]

They are in the lib/windows_vc64 folder

I imagine that you are using Visual studio 2017. In the left lateral projects you have to select INSTALL->right button click-> set as default project (or something like that, i don't remember now)-> and build again. It will copy the DLLs from lib folder to Release/Debug folder

[JJGamerDe]

this one?

right use the right button and put it to compile ...
he is generating the files
well ... I do not know almost anything about visual studio...

[JJGamerDe]

I got it!

but now the upbge is not opening

he does not give any information, when I open it he tries to start and simply closes...

[lordloki]

Yes, we know. It is a bug (see #797). We will fix in the next days.
Although you always can test 64bits build that it is working.

[JJGamerDe]

I'm downloading the upbge again ...
because this one I used is outdated a week ago ...

I think everything is solved! \ O /
many thanks panzergame and mainly lordloki!
I would not have been able to do this without you!

I'll close so as not to disturb ...

You guys are doing a great job with BGE. I would love to donate help, it would be interesting to patreon upbge...

Thank you see you later!
