Switched from Xcode to VScode. Installed 5.0.3 from the epic games store. Tried making a simple c++ class.
Guess what? MORE COMPILER ISSUES.
Why? Another freaking include not found. this time Coreminimal.h.
I’ve done some digging and I think i know whats going on now.
any time i seem to have an issue its due to a file that probably exists somewhere in
/Users/Shared/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core
and rather than actually bother with actual relative linking for their header files the all knowing epic developers have seen fit to just dump them all in one folder and rely on some kind of global include configurations within vscode or xcode projects?
Except this is an actual termination because using View>Command Palatte: and adding /Users/Shared/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core to the includes for my vscode project configuration does literally nothing. CoreMinimal.h is sitting RIGHT THERE! Why can’t it see it?
Plenty of google results show that i’m not NEARLY the first person to have this issue and it’s historically been especially egregious on mac users.
I’m NOT an expert c++ coder. I shouldn’t have to be, just to get the engine up and running. I’m not even building from source anymore and i’m STILL having these problems. Jesus christ, Epic. How hard is it to fix your includes?
