Chit-Chat / A warning to Stencyl users who install Unreal Engine 4
« on: March 10, 2015, 09:41:30 am »
Last night I thought I'd try testing a project in Windows, and lo and behold, I got the "'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command" error when I tried to compile. After some research, I tried adding the Microsoft VC++ 2013 bin folder to my system path, only to get the "Cannot open include file: 'typeinfo.h': No such file or directory" error instead.
I figured there was something wrong with my VC++ install, so - on a hunch - I uninstalled the VC++ 2013 Community Edition that was auto-installed by UE4 and installed VC++ 2013 Express instead. No compiler errors this time.
I don't know where this belongs, but seeing how I've found partial answers to my particular problem out there which led me to "maybe Community Edition didn't set its environment variables properly on install," hopefully this will be of some use to someone who was just as stymied as I was.
