Hello folks I have a problem with compiling Blender 2.61 (Rev. 43145) which i got from SVN repo. I used cmake gui to get those solutions and after that i built it with MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. But, when I built it with ALL_BUILD option i got no errors, it made me a blender.exe file, thats good, thats fine but then I wanted to build the INSTALL option and then bang...I got this message from build
http://pastebin.com/Mkjd8htU ...I am really confused what the heck is that because I googled a lot after it and I got no proper answer. Please help me

The combination of cmake and msvc makes my tiny brain recoil in horror. If you don't get any love here, you might try the #blendercoders IRC channel on freenode.net .

The error is an inability to set the modification time on that offset.py file. It doesn’t say why, but could it be it doesn’t exist?
It comes from a separate repo, blender-extensions, not the main blender repo. And it only appeared there back on May 16. Could it be you have an older version of this repo checked out?

Maybe you’re better off sticking with a prebuild from Graphicall. Microsoft Windows can be a hostile place to learn how to do builds for yourself.
