HTML5Setup.sh failing on ln 97 for lack of a ")"

[nicholasstephan]

I'm getting this error when running HTML5Setup.sh.

./HTML5Setup.sh: line 97: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ')'

Uncommenting ln 5 to get more verbose logging gives me:

Full steps to reproduce are:

• Running on Mac OS 10.15.5.
• Installed Python 3.8.5. Though I did not add it replace the python command in my PATH, so python --version still return Mac's default 2.7.16, but python3 --version shows 3.8.5. Not sure if this is the problem.
• Installed CMake 3.18.0.
• git clone -b 4.24-html5 --single-branch https://github.com/UnrealEngineHTML5/UnrealEngine ue4-r424-html5
• cd ue4-r424-html5
• ./Setup.command
• cd Engine/Platoforms/HTML5
• ./HTML5Setup.sh

I am also facing the same error

[geocolon]

I am having this same issue with ./HTML5Setup.sh was there a resolution for this error?

Hi, I am also having this problem, did anyone end up fixing it? Or does anyone know how and why this is happening?

Shit... me too

I figured it out - turns out that it is being commented out due to a punctuation.

The opening bracket from like 97 HTML5PLATFORM=$**(**cat <<__AT_HTMLFIVE should be closed by the one on line 113 after __AT_HTMLFIVE

The problem is the punctuation in line 103, the word "isn't" has an apostrophe that initiates a comment. Remove this and it works.

Hope this helps!
