[SOLVED] Unable to build Unigine 2.6.1 using scons

[Priyank.Jain2]

I am trying to build Unigine 2.6.1 using scons and getting following error.

$ python build.py

[ Engine: release build, 64 bit]
        building main app...
executing command: scons_x64 debug=0 simd=sse2 vs_toolset=v141 jobs=all --warn=no-no-parallel-support --warn=no-missing-sconscript -Q -u .

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "C:\install\Python27\scons-2.5.1\SCons\Script\Main.py", line 912, in _main

Build FAILED!

 

I am pretty sure that my environment is set correctly (including SCONSFLAGS) since I am able to build Unigine 2.3.1 and 2.5.1 using scons

Is there anything obvious I am missing?)

Hi,

May I ask you to check this:

1. Isn't SConstruct really missing?
2. Haven't you moved build.py?
3. Which SDK edition is this? Pro or Sim?

1. Isn't SConstruct really missing? - No it is present at <sdk>\professional_windows_2.6.1_src\source
2. Haven't you moved build.py? - No its still at <sdk>\professional_windows_2.6.1_src\utils
3. Which SDK edition is this? Pro or Sim? Pro

Okay, we've found a problem with VS 2017 compatibility.

You can try to build with --vs v120 if you have Visual Studio 2013 installed or --vs v140 for Visual Studio 2015.

We need some time to fix this for VS 2017.

Yes that worked for me. Hope to get v141 working in next update.

Hi Morbid,

I have also observed that the output directory has been changed for the plugins and other libraries

It use to be at  $(ProjectDir)..\..\..\..\lib\ till 2.3.1 and now changed to $(ProjectDir)..\..\..\..\bin\

is there any specific reason to this?

[morbid]

lib folder is used for libraries to link with, bin is for dll and applications.

Are you experiencing some troubles with it?

[Priyank.Jain2]

No. 

Just few changes need to be done in our build system. I am sure this will remain consistent now on.

Hi Priyank,

In the upcoming UNIGINE 2.7 SDK you will be able to use v141 toolset with Scons 3.x installed. We also moved build.py script from utils to source dir.

Thanks!
