Hello, i know this question is similar to many other on the same subject but I couldn’t find a solution working for me.

My problem is simple, I want to use an external library (that I copied in my project), but when I try to include files from it I have a VS (visual studio) error even to it work fine when I compile with the editor.
Of course I included the path to my files in my Build.cs and I even check if they exist:

//ThirdPartyPath have the source path of external Lib in my project
  PublicIncludePaths.Add(Path.Combine(ThirdPartyPath, "polyvox", "include"));
        string[] path = Directory.GetFiles(Path.Combine(ThirdPartyPath, "polyvox", "include"));
       foreach (string st in path)
            Console.WriteLine("HEY this is your files : " + st);
        PublicIncludePaths.Add(Path.Combine(ThirdPartyPath, "accidental-noise-library"));

I saw on different topic that I needed to add in my dependency to make visual compile and find them, but I can’t make it work, and VS cant compile on it :

// I tested VoxelLibrayrie ; PolyVox ; polyvox but none of them work
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "HeadMountedDisplay", "VoxelLibrayrie" });

I’m sure the solution is simple and I’m lacking basic knowledge, hope you can help me.
The files I want to use are in the following folder :

//ProjectName\VoxelLibrayrie\polyvox\include\PolyVox
And of course when I tri to include I do : #include “PolyVox/*files*”

Edit * :
forgot to say, of course it work if i give full path in my VS :

#include "../../VoxelLibrayrie/polyvox/include/PolyVox/PagedVolume.h"

Ok i resolved my problem myself. I just had to do a “generate files” for the third time on a unchanged project… (i’m still not sure why it worked this time).

For others who have this problem, you just need your “PublicIncludePaths.add” as normal, you don’t need “PublicDependency…”, and after you just have to go to your project source and right-click on your .uproject and “generate Visual studio files” and when you will be back on visual he’ll ask to refresh and it will work.

Thank you for this, you saved me!
