Trying to include “aws/core/auth/AWSCredentialsProvider.h” but it gives me loads of ctime errors when building my UE4 solution, any ideas what’s wrong?

Hi,

Same issue here when I try to add the last gamelift client sdk to my UE4 project.

What can we do ?

Debugging these time header issues on Windows can be a little involved. What appears to be happening is during your build the compiler is pulling in some other time.h files instead of the standard c time.h.

How you may begin to debug this:

  • Try changing include orders in your files

  • Double check your include paths aren’t bringing in something unexpected

  • Get the compiler to generate the pre-processor output and debug when time.h is pulled in (look for when clock_t is first defined and where)

Can you both provide your Gamelift SDK cmake commands (ie VS version, build options)?

Hi,

I recently solved this issue by renaming core/platform/Time.h to core/platform/AWSTime.h
