I want to use emacs as an editor for unreal. For this I need to generate the makefiles with that scriptl. I found this guide that is exactly what I am trying to do https://github.com/brorbw/silly-guides/blob/master/emacs-unreal.md
But after I run: /Users/Shared/Epic\ Games/UE_5.3/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Mac/GenerateProjectFiles.sh -project="$PWD/$(basename $PWD).uproject" -game -CMakefile -VeryVerbose -Timestamps
I cannot find CMakeLists.txt anywhere inside the project folder. Here is the output of the script command:
$ /Users/Shared/Epic\ Games/UE_5.3/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Mac/GenerateProjectFiles.sh -project="$PWD/$(basename $PWD).uproject" -game -engine -CMakefile

Project file formats specified via the command line will be ignored when generating
project files from the editor and other engine tools.
Consider setting your desired IDE from the editor preferences window, or modify your
BuildConfiguration.xml file with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
<ProjectFileGenerator>
<Format>CMake</Format>
</ProjectFileGenerator>
</Configuration>

It says the CMakeLists.txt was saved but it is not in the project’s root folder or any subdirectory.
