Packaging error from fresh 5.3.2 build

basisvector · February 18, 2024, 1:10am

I recently set up a new project using a source build using 5.3.2. I haven’t modified anything. When I try to package for Windows, I get this error:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): D:\Projects\Dust\Dust\Engine\Source\Programs\BaseTextureBuildWorker\BaseTextureBuildWorker.Target.cs(7,45): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TextureBuildWorkerTarget' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I’ve taken a look at BaseTextureBuildWorker.Target.cs and I don’t see anything particularly wrong with it. I don’t understand well how C# finds classes, or where to check compilation order.

Any help appreciated!

Got it.

And you said:

[/quote]…

Does this mean that you tried to package an empty project? I’m not 100% certain what you mean by this.

basisvector · February 18, 2024, 3:14pm

I mean I started working on a project, so it’s not an empty project, but I don’t have that much in it yet. The process quits so quickly after starting the package I don’t think it’s even looking at my files yet.

Leomerya12 · February 18, 2024, 3:54pm

Understood.

Then try packaging a completely new/empty project to make sure the issue has nothing to do with any of your assets.

TrueFranco · February 18, 2024, 4:41pm

Did you make a Editor Build only or an Installed Build ? if you made an Editor only build you may be missing to build some module require to package.

basisvector · February 18, 2024, 7:03pm

I think it might also be my toolchain. I am using VS Community 2022 17.9, but when I look at the docs on installing VS for 5.3, it says 17.6 is the recommended version. But you cannot install that version from Community.

I tried VS 2019, but it was complaining about the version of .NET when generating files:

Visual Studio 2019 does not support .NET 6.0 C# projects, these projects will not be added to the generated solution.
Please generate the Visual Studio 2022 solution if .NET 6.0 C# project support is required.

So now I’m installing the 17.6 LTS build tools. Not sure if that will work. Must I fork out for VS Professional to get 17.6? Is anyone using 17.9 Community successfully?

TrueFranco · February 18, 2024, 8:16pm

I`m using 17.9 latest one.

Also I got this earlier error when trying to build my project (UE5 built fine).

The line RenderCore.build.cs is referencing is:

PrivateIncludePaths.Add("../Shaders/Shared");

The files do exist, however they should be under Engine/Shaders/Shared. I was able to get around this earlier by putting in an absolute path on all of these, but it just seems like something is off. Either my toolchain is wrong, or something else in my environment.

I’ve been trying to install Visual Studio compiler version 17.6, which is the officially supported version, but I’m not sure I’ve done that correctly.

basisvector · February 18, 2024, 8:47pm

OK I guess I got the right 17.6 component installed, both UE5 and my project solutions now build without errors or anything I needed to adjust.

BUT – same problem when packaging.

Could someone who is packaging successfully in 5.3.2 from the release branch tell me if they have any different versions of the toolchain or the Win64 SDK? Perhaps it’s the version of dotnet it used (6.0)?

Dude did you make what I told you ? right click over BaseTextureWorker and rebuild ?
Do it for Automatic tools, Automatic Script too.

TrueFranco · February 19, 2024, 1:45am

You dont need to worry about dotnet since Unreal has all that libs already installed inside “Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\DotNet\6.0.302\windows”

basisvector · February 19, 2024, 7:38pm

Thank you for your ideas TrueFranco. I rebuilt BaseTextureBuildWorker, Automation Tools, etc. Unfortunately it still gives me the same error when packaging. Also thanks for confirming you are using 17.9.

I’m in a similar situation and receiving this same error when trying to package. I’ve just migrated an existing project from using an installer engine 5.3.2 build to a fresh source engine 5.3.2 build, and when trying to package I get the same errors as in basisvector’s last log post.
I’ve tried rebuilding the modules TrueFranco recomended and no dice. @basisvector did you happen to resolve this?

TrueFranco · April 5, 2024, 2:56pm

First go to your Visual Studio Instalation and unCheck and Check when I show you.

Then open you UE Source Solution and paste the complete path to your project use double quote(" C:\blablabla\Your_uproject") for the path.

Press number 2.

Your project should open and compile without any issue.

I was getting the exact same problem in my custom engine.
Here’s the solution:
You need to make sure you do the following 2 things:

Put your project folder inside of your engine folder, so wherever the UE5.sln would be put your project folder there.
Open up cmd in the exact same directory and do the following command:
GenerateProjectFiles.bat C:\YourPath\YourGame.uproject -Game -Engine

Once you do that compile your game from source and it should start working.
