Build installed version of UE4 always fail!

[Ken_An]

I’m using UE4 4.16 source to build an installed version of the engine, here’s my command:

.\RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script="D:\UnrealEngine-4.16.0\Engine\Build\InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -clean

I referenced to these links:
http://jackknobel.com/BuildGraph/Building-an-installed-ue4/
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Development/InstalledBuildReference/

However there’s always an error. I’ve tested on two computers, they all came to the same error:

ParallelExecutor.Execute: d:\unrealengine-4.16.0\engine\source\runtime\d3d12rhi\private\D3D12StateCachePrivate.h(716): error C4596: ‘SetPipelineState’: illegal qualified name in member declaration

Anyone succeeded in building an installed version？

Go to the file, remove this part:

Then it should compile properly.

Hi Zeblote, thanks for your suggestion, that error did disappear!
However , there’s another error, It seems to be xcode related, but even if i exclude Mac, IOS and TVOS paltform in the arguments, it still appears.
Here’s the error:

Will you please take a look at it, thank you!

[Zeblote]

Interesting, “Compile UnrealHeaderTool Mac” shouldn’t even run when you make an installed build for windows. Did you maybe forget -set:HostPlatformOnly=true in the command?

@Zeblote

Interesting, “Compile UnrealHeaderTool Mac” shouldn’t even run when you make an installed build for windows. Did you maybe forget -set:HostPlatformOnly=true in the command?

Thank you for pointing that out, I really did not add that Argument!
After adding that , the node count decreased from 18 to 11, That node “Compile UnrealHeaderTool Mac” did disappear, So that problem solved!

There’s new problem now, really annoying, but I feel that I’m close to final success, with the help of you Zeblote! Thanks a lot!

Here’s the new Command Line I used, I checked out “InstalledEngineBuild.xml” and found that using HostPlatformOnly meaning disabling all other platforms but Win64 and Win32, but I need PS4 , So I manually disabled all the paltforms I don’t need.

RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script="D:\p4\Engine\4.16\Engine\Build\InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -set:WithDDC=false -set:WithMac=false -set:WithAndroid=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithLinux=false -set:WithHTML5=false -set:WithPS4=true -set:WithXboxOne=false -set:WithSwitch=false

Here’s the new error log:

It still seems to be IOS realated. How can I completely disable it?

[Derjyn]

This issue still haven’t been fixed. I just threw in some random icons I had laying around to resolve it. Epic cats- could you please look into this?
