Source Build Errors

Development Programming & Scripting

I followed the video tutorial on on downloading the unreal source code. Downloaded the zip files, cloned the repo, added the zip files, ran the bat file, opened the project and chose to compile UE4 and got these errors.

Error	1	error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'tbb/scalable_allocator.h': No such file or directory	D:\DATA\GitHub\UnrealEngine\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\HAL\MallocTBB.cpp	25	1	UE4

Any idea whats going on here? I’m not use to using Visual Studio.

EDIT

For some reason the zip files I’ve downloaded are missing

UnrealEngine\Engine\Source\ThirdParty\IntelTBB\IntelTBB-4.0\include\tbb\scalable_allocator.h

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue, and I want to ask some questions as we begin to investigate:

What version of the Unreal Engine are you using from GitHub?
What version of Visual Studio do you have installed?
If you are using Visual Studio 2012, or Visual Studio Express 2012, have you downloaded the Optional.zip dependencies as well as the required 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 zip files?

If you could answer these questions, and for best results, please be sure to review our suggestions for how to report your issues, and feel free to edit your post if you have any additional information to provide:

The version of Unreal is 4.2.1 that I cloned from github. The version of Visual Studios Express 2013 I have installed is 12.0.21005.1 REL.

Hey Zexanima -

Since you said that you have some Zip files missing let us start from the beginning and work through your problem.

First Uninstall and delete all your engine files. You should not have to remove any project files.

Next got to Epic Games/Unreal Engine’s Release page on Git Hub, here

Download the 4.2.1 Release files: Source Code.zip, Required 1of2.zip and Required 2of2.zip. (This will take a while.)

Next unzip the files in the following order into the directory of your choice. (For me I use D:\GitHub\Unreal Engine.): Source Code, Required 1of2, Required 2of2, and [Optional if needed]. Merge Folders as you unzip (They will all have files that go into the Engine sub-directory, for instance.)

Once fully unzipped, Double Click on Generate Project Files.bat and wait for the file to run.

Once completed you should now see two solution files, double-click (open) the VS2013 solution file.

In VS2013, Build UE4. (This will take a while.)

Once the Build is complete, you should now have the UnrealEditor.exe in your Engine/Binaries/Win64 subdirectory.

Ok, So make sure you follow these steps and let me know step by step where how each step is working.

Thank You

Eric Ketchum

@Zexanima,

I was having a similar issue. I was jumping between the 4.2.1 and 4.3 branches.

The important point to note is that the Required_1of2.zip & Required_2of2.zip files are different for each version. So when you switch branches, you have to copy the correct zips on top.

Or, if you’re just using the one branch, make sure you use the zips for that version.
