Development Programming & Scripting

Hi, First of all, I’m not a programmer. I don’t even know abc of programming.

I’m trying to build version 4.3.0 on Visual Studio Express 2013 using video tutorials from epic. But I’m getting errors. I have compiled it before without any error. But when I try to build it now, I get error. Output is given below:

I have reinstalled my windows and now facing this error. Please research the output and help me asap. I think I’m missing something here.

Thanks in advance

That looks like UHT has crashed.

Do you have the DirectX runtimes installed? http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=8109

If so, can you try running UHT (UE4/Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealHeaderTool.exe) manually via explorer to see if it reports any errors.

Thanks.

Oh, I think that’s the real problem. I have forgot to install DirectX runtimes after I reinstalled my windows. Will install that and try in a few minutes.

4

By the way, I have compiled UE4 a few times. But never get the android packaging options. Do I have to configure something on the compilation to get the android options?

5

You need to have the Android SDK installed before you see the packaging options for Android.

For more details of getting Android set up, see this wiki: Setting Up Unreal Engine Projects for Android Development | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation

6

Have installed the android sdk and did other steps on the documentation but did not get the android options.

Do I have to install the android sdk before compiling the engine?

7

Yeah, you need the Android SDK to be able to build the AndroidTargetPlatform modules, so you’ll need to install it before you build (or just build again after installing it).
