Hello!
On finding out that there’s no live webcam module for the Linux build of UE5 (or 4, I think) I decided, as suggested on this discussion, to attempt to develop my own.
I’m using Ubuntu Studio 20.04, and have UE5 running pretty smoothly on here.
So far though, I’ve found:
- The only type of plugin I can make in a default empty project are content plugins
- I’ve tried creating a C++ project using Visual Studio Code, but I haven’t managed to get it to successfully compile yet and I’m having a hard time finding clues as to why.
I seem to be facing an awful lot of hurdles at every stage to do something that I get the impression shouldn’t be that difficult. I currently seem to be at half a step up from just typing the code into notepad++ and winging it.
Is there anyone on here who’s developed plugins on linux for UE5? If so, would you be able to offer a guide for getting it to work, or tips for common problems? For example, what’s a good way of debugging plugins? Where’s a good place to find a Linux empty plugin template?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Hope you’re well!
