I’m in a world of pain trying to get the latest Spine 2D release to build in 4.22.

I’m pretty confused as to what’s going on. As near as I can tell some module isn’t being built so the next module is failing. Then it spits out a generic failure with a misleading note about permissions.

Edit: if I clean the solution and rebuild I get this error instead:

It’s not a permissions issue though - I’ve verified that the permissions are fine.

Do you have latest VS2017 + latest toolchain pack installed?

3

Sure do. I even reinstalled it. I also tried VS2019, made sure all the right SDKs were installed, etc.

4

I’m having this same issue. Was this ever resolved anywhere??

If you want to use module A’s class in module B
Need to add A_API to the class of module A
