Since I was using a workflow that involved houdini but also required the cycles renderer, I successfully built cycles from
Your text to link here... [projects.blender.org]
So now there is this problem of not being able to load the dll

I have add this

PXR_PLUGINPATH_NAME:\ProgramProject\Builder\cycles\install\houdini\dso\usd_plugins

to houdini's houdini.env file




*Here is my file structure:P
D:\ProgramProject\Builder\cycles\
├─install
│ ├─houdini
│ │ ├─dso
│ │ │ └─usd_plugins
│ │ │ ├─hdCycles.dll
│ │ │ ├─plugInfo.json
│ │ │ └─hdCycles
