using UnrealBuildTool;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class PMeleeWeaponEditorTarget : TargetRules
{
	public PMeleeWeaponEditorTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
	{
		        Type = TargetType.Editor;
                ExtraModuleNames.Add("PMeleeWeapon");
    }

Solution ~~> bOverrideBuildEnvironment = true

using UnrealBuildTool;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class PMeleeWeaponEditorTarget : TargetRules
{
	public PMeleeWeaponEditorTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
	{
                bOverrideBuildEnvironment = true;
		         Type = TargetType.Editor;
                ExtraModuleNames.Add("PMeleeWeapon");
    }
}
