upon attempting to convert my 4.7 project to the github 4.8 preview my project encounters a fatel error.
C:\Users\Heath\Documents\Unreal Projects\EF6\Source\EF6\EF6.cpp(5) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘EF6.generated.inl’: No such file or directory
When using the Unreal Engine Project File in the project folder I get this message.
I’ve tried grabbing the master branch and rebuilding the engine, and then converting in place my project and still I get the same error. Attached is a screen shot of this error.
Okay So I downloaded the 4.7 branch again (this is the version that my project was on 4.7.6). After building and then converting it works again. First question is why did I have to convert in place even though my project was 4.7.6 before? Did attempting to convert with 4.8 preview 4 alter it?
Next question is why can I not convert my 4.7.6 project to the current master branch from Git?
I tried downloading the 4.8 branch again and giving this another shot but I cannot convert my project to it from 4.7.6. Does this feature not work on the current 4.8 build? It references an error during compiling the project c++ code.
C:\Users\Heath\Documents\Unreal Projects\EF6\Source\EF6\EF6.cpp(5) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'EF6.generated.inl': No such file or directory
Is there another way to get my project to work on 4.8?
Hey Thumper-
Can you try deleting/removing the Intermediate folder from your project directory and then try to switch the engine versions for your project again. The folder should be recreated in the conversion process. Let me know if you’re able to open your project afterward.
Cheers
No I’m still getting the ‘EF6.generated.inl’: No such file or directory after deleting the intermediate folder in that project.
Hey Thumper-
When you converted your project from 4.7 to 4.8 did you use the “Make a Copy” option when opening through the project menu or did you right click on the .uproject and choose to “Switch Engine Version”?
I think I tried make a copy first, then ran into problems then tried convert. What sucks is my process was a little convoluted and I’m not sure. At the time I was also porting to the android and running into other problems with the tadp and ue4 versions. I reinstalled/ built various version of ue4 trying to solve that. I just decided to manually bring my stuff back in, used it as a house cleaning opportunity. I did try deleting the intermediate folder though. No luck there. My stuff is now freshly imported into a new clean scene now. Thanks!
