Could I get some help with building 4.2 using VS 2013?

Community, I just checked out the 4.2 branch and then downloads the two required zips, unzipped, and placed them into the folder - just as I did before with 4.1 without a hitch. I ran the GenerateProjectFiles.batch for good measure too and now I am getting this error when trying to build:

23>  Errors detected while compiling F:\Development Programs\UnrealEngine\UE4Source\Engine\Intermediate\Build\BuildRules\UE4EditorModuleRules.dll:

Same error with Development Editor build too.

Any ideas? I have already checkout out the branch several times and even purged my working copy. Even cloned into a new folder… same issue.

Have you tried re-extracting the required zips? The only engine build errors I’ve ever had was due to the zips not extracting correctly.

Hi smartyMARTY,

Just to make sure, when you downloaded the required zip files, did you make sure to get the files for 4.2? If you are using the zip files for one of the other versions, they won’t work.

I started with a new, empty folder, cloned the GitHub and checked out the 4.2 source, and then downloaded the ZIP files referenced in the 4.2 engine release notes and un-zipped into the checkout. This built without problems for me.
I think you my have something old in the same directory where you have the new version of the source. Old files that were deleted in a new version would cause problems, for example, because just unzipping the new source on top of the old would not remove those files.

The issue was with my zips. I either dragged and dropped the wrong ones and / or extracted the wrong ones.
