The command '/bin/sh -c ue4 conan generate' returned a non-zero code: 1

Could this have something to do with UBT needing to be pre-built?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I am also running into this. I had a look and mine is using the source image which does not contain a precompiled DLL with that name. Changing to minimal doesn't work because generate cannot use an installed build of UE apparently.

I hacked in a copy from the minimal image of the UnrealBuildTool directory and now the next error is:

While looking in the Unreal 4.27.2 image I found this:

Looks like the file names have changed in this toolchain version, sigh.

petergerten · 2023-01-31T07:21:15Z

What would be the best way to incorporate the fix in #21 ?
Unfortunately it is not in a pip release yet, so just using ue4-docker installs an old version without that fix.
This currently prevents me from building UE 5.0.3 or 5.1.

jlsalmon · 2023-01-31T07:32:32Z

I haven't tested that fix, but it would be straightforward to monkey patch conan-ue4cli in the absence of this being released.

petergerten · 2023-01-31T07:35:53Z

For a local conan-ue4cli I agree, but I am actually only using ue4-docker where it builds some Dockerfile using it. Not sure how the inner workings of ue4-docker are.

russkel · 2023-02-04T01:23:17Z

I think I modified the Dockerfile part where it pip installed it to pip install https://github.com/Greenroom-Robotics/conan-ue4cli/archive/refs/heads/feature/fix-libcxx.zip

According to this https://github.com/adamrehn/ue4-docker/blob/c4e8ecec9b0f1dfdee0d6fa96cd4592c6a016644/ue4docker/infrastructure/BuildConfiguration.py#L225

You could pass an argument to ue4-docker: -conan-ue4cli=https://github.com/Greenroom-Robotics/conan-ue4cli/archive/refs/heads/feature/fix-libcxx.zip.

petergerten · 2023-02-06T10:51:16Z

You could pass an argument to ue4-docker: -conan-ue4cli=https://github.com/Greenroom-Robotics/conan-ue4cli/archive/refs/heads/feature/fix-libcxx.zip.

I tried that (earlier I tried these two patches as well) - but still get this error (both on 5.0.3 and 5.1.0):

I came across this as well. Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool/UnrealBuildTool.dll is not compiled in that image. It's all a bit of a mess. I had to copy the compiled UnrealBuildTool from the minimal image.

You can see what I did here in this commit Greenroom-Robotics/ue4-docker@04a48e4

You will have to change it to reflect your image names.

thanks, that worked :-)

See adamrehn#281 and adamrehn/conan-ue4cli#20 This also requires adamrehn/conan-ue4cli#15 to make `ue4 conan generate` work on UE5.
