Hello!

I compiled the 5.1 Unreal Engine from source.
Now I would like to recompile the Houdini Engine Plugin from source like explained here:
Rebuild Plugins Instructions [dev.epicgames.com]

but it errors out every time

can anyone help or point me in the right direction please?

I tried building from a 5.0 source but ended up getting a bunch of:

Cannot open include file: 'UnrealObjectInputRuntimeTypes.h': No such file or directory

errors.

Seems like the trick is to get the latest build off github at https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal [github.com] and then bring it into a C++ project first and try building. It will say that it can't find a specific version of Houdini installed. From that point you specifically installed that version. In my case it was the daily build from today at 19.5.442.

Once the versions are aligned the compile goes through.

Same thing goes for Houdini Niagara located at https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniNiagara/tree/UE5.00 [github.com].

I am having the issue myself that after succesfully building the plugin it simply will still tell me it is outdated and i have to build it.
