Generate SSH key fails

fails on 4.11 and 4.12. Bat file isn’t included with the engine. I pulled it from github but it still fails. Says

“Unexpected local arg: /cydrive/C?Users/Chad”

and

rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1)

Is there a sample SSH file so I can make one manually?

Hey ,

Here is a [forum post][1] that provides detailed information about remote building. Make sure you’ve installed DeltaCopy.

Let me know how that goes, thanks!

Windows -> iOS Rsync/Remote Build Guide (4.8) - Mobile - Epic Developer Community Forums

Yes, I have DeltaCopy installed

Can you please upload a screenshot of your iOS remote build settings as well as your error output logs.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

original error because the bat file don’t exist unless you pull it from github -

LogWindows:Warning: CreateProc failed (2) D:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/4.12/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/MakeAndInstallSSHKey.bat “C:\Program Files (x86)/DeltaCopy\ssh.exe” “C:\Program Files (x86)/DeltaCopy\rsync.exe” admin DU101.macincloud.com “C:\Users\Chad Robert Morgan\AppData\Roaming” “/cygdrive/C/Users/Chad Robert Morgan/AppData/Roaming” “…/…/…/Engi
ne/”

when I copy it I get this:

Do you think you could put the link of the GitHub file in here? Going through the the same issue with 4.12.

Hey ,

If you want to build iOS on Windows, you should obtain the GitHub build which is our source build. It’ll allow you to build code projects, as well as blueprint projects. Please also keep in mind that you cannot build for code projects on a Windows machine in binary, that’ll result in a failure. But blueprint projects will work.

If you are not interested in building code projects or using the GitHub (source) version of the engine, you will need to have a Mac in order to remote build from the Mac onto your Windows machine. Here is another link I found that provides additional information for remote building.

Let me know -

this doesn’t resolve the problem if the bat file to create the ssh is not executing correctly

Hi ,

You can’t mix and match things from GitHub with your Binary/Launcher install. If you wish to build from PC using a remote Mac, you must install the GitHub version from scratch and not just pull items from it. Until you have done this, we have no way of knowing where your error is coming from because you are working in a way which is unsupported at this time and therefore, untested. Please download the entire GitHub version and build from there. Then, post as many logs as you can find from the failure. We do plan on supporting IOS builds from PC for 4.13 from the Launcher install.
