Hello,

I’m trying to package a c++ plugin that I created but the process fails due to a missing .emscripten file as shown in the log below:

After installing emscripten, here is a list of things I’ve tried:

[Could not build for html5][1]
[Emscripten sdk found but of unexpected version][2]
[Could not find .emscripten file][3]
Deleting the Intermediate folder of my project and generating files again through the .uproject file
Installing the latest version of python
Made sure I included the HTML5 binaries in the engine installation options
Verifying the installation of my engine

Moreover, I noticed that in some screenshots in the previous posts the HTML5 sdk option contains SDK Paths while my editor doesn’t:

Could you provide some info on how to fix this issue and package my plugin?

Thank you in advance,

Orfeas

Orfeas El.,

Could you please upload your full error output logs?

Thanks!

Hello,

[Here][1] is the complete log of the build.

Do you have any Marketplace Plugins installed on your Engine?

Orfeas_El · November 1, 2016, 7:43pm

Just the substance plugin.

Edit: I’ve disabled substance and trying to package again.

Edit 2: The same log occurs again.

anonymous_user_a08c0bf2 · November 1, 2016, 9:03pm

Disable the substance plugin and delete your Intermediate and Saved folders and then try again. Provide me the logs after you’ve done that, to see if it changes.

Thanks!

Could you try to delete the I:\Epic Games\4.13\Engine*Intermediate\Build\HTML5.emscripten* folder from your Engine? (only the bold part) Then go ahead and re-verify your version of the engine and try to package again, upload those logs as well.

Also, let me know whether or not you’re using a Source or Binary version of the engine.

Thanks!

Orfeas_El · November 3, 2016, 2:27pm

Hello again,

I’ve tried your suggestion and the same error [occurs][1].

Moreover, I deleted the entire version of the engine and re-downloaded it through the launcher but again, the result is the [same][2].

I’m using the Binary version of the engine.

Thank you again,

Try removing the HTML5 target from the project you’re trying to package. The plugin should compile.

Orfeas_El · November 9, 2016, 8:21pm

Hello, just to clarify, I’m trying to package a plugin that I have created and not my game.

I disabled the HTML5 option and I’ve tried to package my plugin again but the same error [occurs][1].

I’m not sure if this means something, but when navigating to the export folder, inside the Intermediate->Build sub-folder, a folder named HTML5 has been created. Is there a that the export process works fine but a “false” error to occur?

Thank you in advance,

-Orfeas

I see “Could not find file '” error message - This can be caused by having HOME environment variable. If you have one, try deleting it and see that makes a difference.
