There are discrepancies in paths in wiki (which sends to 2.5 pages). scons failed to make cycles 3 times for me, cmake did it. Most of the library things were present, some needed dev packs. ffmpeg needed rollback, CUDA=0.8 Gb o_O.
‘git pull --rebase’ should be run inside /blender

linux, 64 bit.
So are there some simple steps anywhere yet for getting the source from GIT on Windows and using VS2008 to build it? The wiki seems to still reference the old system everywhere. I use Visual Studio and TFS so all this talk of scons/git/svn is a bit confusing 
@swmo: git or subversion is about getting fresh source code only. Look before on ramboblender’s post. scons - python stuff to automate compile - not exactly needed if you use some kind of project in IDE.
If you had done compiling blender on windows before it’s just a matter of getting git and it’s client ui installed; point to repo and get source. Compile as usually.
