LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot load input file 'HACD_64.lib'

Hello,

I’m trying to package my app without success. I get the "UnrealBuildTool: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot load file ‘HACD_64.lib’
I found lots of answers about this on the forum but nothing is working in my case.

For you to know, I use a third party library in my project, “Kinect20”. I added the library in my project folder, and adapted my build.cs to load it (see below). Plus, in visual studio, “Debog” → “UE4 properties” → “VC++ Directory” I added the path to kinect20 Includes and Libraries.
The kinect is working in the editor, I don’t think it comes from that but… mhhee…

The logs:

Hello,

I performed a Google search for your error message, and came across a few results:

Take a look at these threads and let me know if any of these solutions work for you.

Have a great day

Hello Sean,

Sorry for the long time, I had to work on something else for a while.

So, about my issu, I did try to remove all references to “UnrealEd” in my build.cs and .ue_project but it didn’t fix it.
I tried to: Close UE and VS. Generate Visual studio files. Add again paths to libraries and includes for my Kinect20 module in the UE4 propertiy pages - VC++ Directories.

It didn’t work.

I did try to run UE4 as admin (did it by going somewhere like: program files/epic/4.11/binary → run as admin)
But it didn’t work.

I didn’t find anything else on google about that. I don’t know what to do, my project is to big to be transfert file by file in a new and clean project (and I don’t see why it would change anything).

I keep looking around, hoping.

Have a good day.
Dex

A couple of questions:

Are you using a source version of the editor or a binary version? Which version of 4.11 are you using, exactly? 4.11.2?
Are you able to package a clean, blank project successfully?
Have you tried running it without the Kinect20 module implemented? It could be related to this, but I’m not too familiar with that particular module so I may be wrong.

dexluce · June 10, 2016, 11:23am

Hello and thank you for your time.

Binary (from Epic launcher) 4.11.2.
Yes, I’m able to package a clean project. I tested this with blueprint and c++ project, all ok.
I commented “LoadKinect20(Target);” in my build.cs and I deleted all class and blueprint using nodes related to my kinect implementation, but I have an “impossible to find kinect.h” during packaging. Kinect.h is provided by “kinect20” module, I don’t know why it is still looking for it as there shouldn’t be any class using it.

I’m currently installing 4.12.2, I’ll try to package with it, will see.

Ciao,
Dex

EDIT: Still not working with UE 4.12.2

Sean_L · June 10, 2016, 5:07pm

Could you clarify exactly what the Kinect20 module is? I’m not too familiar with this module, myself.

dexluce · June 28, 2016, 11:11am

Ok just to get back to you on this.
The kinect20 was code using SDK provided by Microsoft for this…
So in my UE visual studio project I have a class that use includes provided by microsoft, I guess the issu comes from somewhere here.

Anyway, I finely decided to use LeapMotion, not kinect. So no problem anymore.

thank you for your time,
Dex
