Cmake and UE 4.9 on windows

Development Platform & Builds

I can’t seem to generate the CMakeLists.txt file by using GenerateProjectFiles.bat for my projects.
It is working to build UE4 utils but not on templates.

I used the following command :

E:\unreal\TP_ThirdPerson>D:\UnrealEngine\GenerateProjectFiles.bat -cmakelist -Engine -Game "E:\unreal\TP_ThirdPerson\TP_ThirdPerson.uproject"

My UE4.9 source is using the Release branch of the git repository (commit 311e18ff3).

It will generate a E:\unreal\TP_ThirdPerson\TP_ThirdPerson.sln file but no CMakeLists.txt…

The TP_ThirdPerson folder is a coy of the TP_ThirdPerson template.

The UE4.9 changelog states

Pass -cmakefile to GenerateProjectFiles and use CLion or other IDEs to build UE4.

Is it only to build UE4 and not projects ? If so it would be nice to have a warning.

Have you tried to generate without -Engine ?:

E:\unreal\TP_ThirdPerson>D:\UnrealEngine\GenerateProjectFiles.bat -cmakelist -game "E:\unreal\TP_ThirdPerson\TP_ThirdPerson.uproject"

Yes, it only generates a VS solution, using latest release branch (4.10-release)
