I’ve recently build engine on Kubuntu 16.04 and I’ve tried to compile couple of my projects with KDevelop. But IDE told me that it couldn’t find any target rules for project. Then I’ve tried to build 2D Sidescroller template project and I get same error. Then I would to dig in autogenerated build configs
Here is log from building

But I’ve swapped parameters and build configuration name in command
mono ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe CPP2DEditor Linux Development -project="/media/ilya/UnrealProjects/CPP2D/CPP2D.uproject" -editorrecompile
and it worked

I don’t think that this one is HUGE IMPORTANT BUG, but it ■■■■■■ me off for couple days before i realized where issue is. Hope it would be fixed.
Cheers!
