4.19 failed to generate project files

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I am having a bit of a problem making this work in 4.19. After trying to open a project it says that it cannot compile spout dll's and after trying to recompile it says I should try to compile from source manually.

After I try to generate project files it says:

Running E:/unrealEngine/UE_4.19/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe -projectfiles -project="H:/projectSandbox/spout4UE4/cppFPSSpout/cppFPSSpout.uproject" -game -rocket -progress Discovering modules, targets and source code for project...

Ok, I found the issue based on this page.

You have to change line 20 in SpoutPlugin.Build.cs from:
public SpoutPlugin(TargetInfo Target)

to:
public SpoutPlugin(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)

I got the project to compile and open now.
