Hi, I’m new to Lumberyard, I selected compile the game code in Setup Assistant and installed all required SDK’s. (Also I have the Visual Studio 2019 Installed with required tools). But when I try to compile the Starter Game I get this error message in the log. I hope you can help me. Thanks

Build failed

Hey there @Selim_Sandal,

To help me better understand your issue, can you answer a couple of questions about how you got here?

  1. What command did you run that led to this output?
  2. In the SetupAssistant, did you check the box for Visual Studio 2019 on the first page of options?

Thanks

Same situation. I’ve just clicked rebuild project. Over 1M lines in log file :slight_smile:
Generally that’s how it begins:

“I:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.27.1.0\dev\lmbr_waf.bat” build_win_x64_vs2019_profile --enabled-game-projects=StarterGame -p all
[WAF] Engine Root: I:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.27.1.0\dev
[WAF] Executing ‘build_win_x64_vs2019_profile’ in ‘i:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.27.1.0\dev\BinTemp\win_x64_vs2019_profile’

…
and that’s how it ends:

Hi @Leonidasos can you post the full log in this thread to give us more info?

You can add my_text_file.txt to the end of the command and it will create a text file with the full log.

Thank you.

Well I have a log file, but new users are not allowed to send attachments :slight_smile:
Btw. it’s almost 50MB file, and zip is 4MB.

Got the same problem here, had Lumberyard 1.21.X installed and updated to the latest, got some administration issues - solved by executing installer as administrator (edit: uninstalled previous and fresh install). In the Project Configurator I started the WAF build for a fresh project, which then died on me after about 1~2 hours of running.

Full Log (177MB) | Shortened Log (< 100KB)

Note: I replaced my the name of the project with in the log file

Any fixes after @Lubjan 's log files?

#8

Read this post I’ve made,

#9

I don’t think this fix is relevant for this build error.

#10

Problem seems to be fixed in Lumberyard Version 1.28.0.0
