Hi Ryan,

I'm getting an error compiling the QuestHandsExample project on a Mac using the latest version of the Oculus UE4 branch (4.24.3). Everything compiles fine for me on Windows.

The specific error is below, and I'm wondering if you've seen anything like this before and can point me in the right direction:

Creating makefile for QuestHandsExample (.uproject file is newer)
While compiling /Users/admin/src/QuestHands/Intermediate/Build/BuildRules/QuestHandsExampleModuleRules.dll:

ERROR: Unable to compile source files.
The terminal process terminated with exit code: 5

Make sure to cook Game data before attempting to build the Mac target. If data was cooked with nativization enabled, this can also mean there were no Blueprint assets that required conversion, in which case this warning can be safely ignored.

Sorry for the really late response. I see two errors in your output: QuestHands.Build.cs(1,1) : error CS1056: Unexpected character `›' and ERROR: OculusVR.uplugin is referenced via default... bla bla

The first one might be as easy as resaving the file QuestHands.Build.cs by opening it in a text editor on the mac and saving. Bad line endings?

The second one might be because I don't include the SupportedTargetPlatforms section in the plugin and the defaults doesn't align with the OVR plugin. Add: "SupportedTargetPlatforms": [ "Win32", "Win64", "Android" ], To QuestHands.uplugin and give er a try.

Cheers!

I am facing a similar error. But I have the error with InterchangeEditor InterchangeEditor.uplugin is referenced via MyProject.uproject with a mismatched 'SupportedTargetPlatforms' field. This will cause problems in packaged builds, because the .uplugin file will not be staged.
