Unable to create new LY project

Question

Every time I try and build/compile a new project, either in the cmd or the project configurator, the error log ends randomly at some point with:

'fatal error C1069: cannot read compiler command line'

here is an example:

c:\Users\%user%\Desktop\AmazonLumberyard\1.27.0.0\dev\BinTemp\win_x64_vs2019_profile\Gems\EMotionFX\Code\EMotionFX\Tools\EMotionStudio\Plugins\StandardPlugins\Source\MotionSetsWindow\MotionSetManagementWindow.cpp.5936967.obj'
        Output:
                MotionSetManagementWindow.cpp
                c:\Users\%user%\Desktop\AmazonLumberyard\1.27.0.0\dev\Gems\EMotionFX\Code\EMotionFX\Tools\EMotionStudio\Plugins\StandardPlugins\Source\MotionSetsWindow\MotionSetManagementWindow.cpp(1087): fatal error C1069: cannot read compiler command line
<++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++>

can somebody help me fix this, please?

Accepted Answer

Ok, I got it WORKING! :slight_smile:
what I did
1. install LY in C:Amazon/Lumberyard
2. Disable folder from being scanned by my antivirus and made sure folder is not read-only (I don't know if this was the reason it worked or not though)
3. run setup assistant & tick the first 5 options and then I ticked 4 options later (It worked when I did this)
4. Build the project. Takes way less time now.
5. I can open my project

Thanks for the help everyone! :slight_smile:

Answer

I guess it is working, but every time I try to compile, It now says out of memory.
my specs are core i7 6500u  8GB ram around 50GB free disk space and intel HD graphics 520. Maybe I should untick the 'Compile Lumberyard editor and tools'...

Answer

Are you replacing your username with %user% ? If not, then it's erroring out because that's not the right username.

I would move everything to a root location like @REDACTEDUSER

Answer

yes, I replace the username with %user%
So I will have to move LY to something like C:/somerootfolder?

Answer

You need to crank up your pagefile size. At only 8 gigs the linker will max out and give up.

Answer

@REDACTEDUSER

Answer

This might be a pathing issue. Does the same error occur if you move your engine’s dev folder from c:\Users%user%\Desktop\...dev\ to something like c:\prj\1_27\dev\?

Answer

ok I tried rebuilding again in the project configurator and I got this error after 7 hours when it was almost done: https://pastebin.com/WF1KE8V1

Answer

I was wondering about that :slight_smile:. Well anyway, I am re-installing LY in C:/Amazon/Lumberyard. So, when I'm done I will try removing antivirus when building :slight_smile:.

Answer

`1. LINK : fatal error LNK1109: cannot remove file 'C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Temp\lnk{474D67E5-9282-4002-B20A-37C0CEE45FB5}.tmp'`

I have heard of some instances where the compilation is blocked by virus protection, this might be the case here...

Answer

I also had LY 1.26 in C:/users/%user%/documents last time and the same problem occurred 😦
Or should I reinstall LY in C:/Amazon/Lumberyard like it wants me to?
