failing to compile kodi, little help? - krustyreturns - 2016-01-30

I used to be able to compile kodi, but things have changed since last I tried. Working through this:

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kodi_for_Windows

and trying to build jarvis-rc1 in visual studio pro 2013. Everything seemed to be okay running scripts, but VS won't build kodi, I get six errors all like this:

Code:
Error    54    error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\xbmc\interfaces\python\generated\AddonModuleXbmcwsgi.cpp': No such file or directory

sure enough the folder xbmc\interfaces\python\generated\ is empty. Can someone point me at where I should be looking to resolve this? My searching came up empty.

You need to have Java installed and in the path. It is required for generating the interfaces.

Oops. Thank you!

It builds now but the kodi gui is blank (empty window with no menus). Here is the log:

thanks

I think it crashed. Enable break point on exception and you should find where.

It hasn't crashed (just to confirm the above didn't trigger a breakpoint). The kodi window isn't completely blank as I am getting the debug overlay and it shows it is running. I must still have something set wrong in the environment. Thanks for the input.
