Hi @andreagen0r, where is your TBB installation located? Our cmake system looks in /opt/intel/tbb by default, so it may not be picked up automatically if you've installed it somewhere else.

You can try adding an entry called TBB_ROOT_DIR and set it to where you've installed TBB to get cmake to explicitly check that location. Even if your TBB is already installed in /opt/intel/tbb, I think it's worth trying to set TBB_ROOT_DIR to that location to see if it helps.

Let us know if that works out, thanks!

thank you

Closing this old issue out. Since this issue was filed, build_usd.py has become the simplest way to create a USD build and will download and install TBB as needed, which will hopefully help avoid issues like this. Thanks!

I am using Win10, also says TBB_ROOT_PATH-NOTFOUND. Is there any similar solution for Win?

The advice @sunyab gave about build_usd.py, and also, TBB_ROOT_DIR applies on WIndows as well. So if you built and installed tbb yourself, then when you invoke cmake, you can add -DTBB_ROOT_DIR=c:/where/is/my/tbb/root. If you don't know how to build and install tbb, or some of the other dependencies of USD, using build_usd.py is the recommended way to build usd on Windows.
