when I open a c++ project and compiling, it crashes
the log is :

Okay, but could you write something more about this problem? Did you get it immediately after creating new project? Or after making some changes and adding some troublesome script? I think your words can actually tell us more than debug log, after all you are smarter than a compiler :slight_smile:

maybe these lines are important ?!

when I create the project it opens in the ide but not the editor and this error is when trying to load the project in the editor

Hey Rowan_creeper-

Are you using the engine built from source or a binary version of the engine from the Launcher? If you are using a source engine, are you building the project after creation prior to trying to open the editor? Please include any additional information you can provide about your setup to help me reproduce the issue locally.

its a source engine and i am on Linux using the Codelite ide and this is when I create a project it opens in the ide but not the editor and then when I try to load it from the project browser this is the error

7

When installing the engine, did you create a make file for UE4Editor? This ensures the editor gets built and can be opened. Instructions for building the engine for Linux can be found here: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums

When reaching the $ make step, be sure to include ShaderCompileWorker UnrealLightmass UnrealPak UE4Game UE4Editor

I can open blueprint projects fine and I did run make

9

also it still happens in 4.13

Hey Rowan_creeper-

Since you are using a source version of the engine, after creating the project it is expected that the code opens in your IDE but not the editor. Once the code opens in the IDE, you need to compile the code project prior to opening it in the editor. Can you confirm that after creating a project and opening it in Codelite, you are able to compile the code and then try opening the project again.

Cheers
