I am trying to run the Hairworks branch of Unreal Engine 4, but when I try to build it it gives me an error saying failed to produce UE4Editor-Engine.exp and fails to build. I have tried re-running the setup files and generating the project files, but they still do not seem to create the needed file.
bump because it still isn’t working.
Hello ShotgunHR,
Could you post the full output log from when you try to build? There should be something in there telling us where the problem is occurring.
Thank you. it is actually the exact same issue as the question
here
(I’m not sure where to find the output log. I’m an artist not a programmer lol).
Thank you for providing that information. Are you downloading the source from here?
.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine/tree/HairWorks
If so, just to be sure, are you running the Setub.bat, and then the GenerateProjectFiles.bat and then attempting to compile the project (the .sln file) in Development Editor for the Win64 platform? You should be able to find those settings at the top of Visual Studio, on the toolbar as part of a dropdown.
Also, to find the Output log, you should be able to see it at the very bottom as one of the tabs such as “Error List” and “Output”. If it isn’t there, you can open it with the Ctrl + Alt + O hotkey as well.
Thank you for your help. The OP of the other post provided me a fix for it and now it works perfectly! One of the cpp files was not including a header file it needed.
