Building latest release advice about maya-usd

[Liametc]

The previous build_log was without the AL plugin. Here's one with the whole shebang
build_log_with_AL.txt

For master branch, we are using USD 19.05. It's documented in https://github.com/Autodesk/maya-usd/blob/master/doc/build.md, but not as easy to find as it should be.

I did see that, but as you're latest release was tagged 19.07 (and behind the master branch), I thought it hadn't been updated for some reason. I will attempt to build against this now.
Thanks

Tags came in from Pixar & AL repository...we thought about renaming them to avoid confusion but for now, we try to limit what gets renamed until everything is moved and we don't have to merge new changes from both AL & PXR.

That makes sense, if a little confusing.
It still fails, for slightly different reasons, but still during compilation. I've attached the logs once more

From your build log it looks as though you are building with gcc 4.8.5. Building with some of the components enabled (such as UFE) requires at least gcc 6.3.1. Since you're on CentOS7 you should already have that in the devtoolsets. In your shell, use this command to enable:

scl enable devtoolset-6 bash

Took me a while to get that working properly in docker, but it's at least built the AL plugin now. I'm enabling the PXR_VALIDATE_GENERATED_CODE flag as it appears to skip the pxr plugin if this is not set. Will report back. Thanks for the help

Update, this all built fine and with a little tweaking of some environment paths worked fine too. Thanks for the tool and the help. Much appreciated
