UE5 Project could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

[KaSakee]

I go to plugins in UE5, (MacBook Pro M1), I choose the latest plugin folder, Moved to project Plugins as VRM4U "done," restart the project,  It request a rebuild, claiming that it was not built with the same engine. Then there's this error. "Project name" could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

Missing test Modules

The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version:

VRM4U VRM4ULoader VRM4UImporter VRM4UEditor VRM4UMisc

Would you like to rebuild them now?

I clicked yes

Then this Error.

Error test could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

ERROR: make: Nothing to be done for `.'.

I used the GUI to build inside a folder called build, That I created in the assimp-5.0.1 folder.

I put the assimp-5.0.1 in where is the source I put the build-in were to build this binary.

Clicked configure: I unchecked BUILD_SHARED_LIBS And Edited CMAKE_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.14

Then clicked generate, And it said it's done.

Then inside the terminal, I navigate to the assimp-5.0.1 folder and type: make .

The result is this Error: make: Nothing to be done for `.'.

And btw I'm using bash for my terminal.

Any ideas?

This is the logs from the GUI:

Check the current directory when using make. It must be called in the directory created by cmake.

I tried every possible way, I called make inside the build folder created by CMake, Then assimp folder, And vice versa, I tried Calling CMake manually in the terminal inside assimp folder then calling make it worked then took the file called libassimp.dylib then put it in the mac directory inside the lib in the plugins folder VRM4U, Then open project, The exact same error as before, I tried so many things nothing seems to work at all, Any help on mac m1? Because I really want this plugin so bad, And I have put effort to download VRM4U more than UE5 and VROID combined together, We need help as M1 Users guys, And I'm still part of this community tho haha ❤️🙏🏼

If i build with a specific arch like x86_64;arm64 it gives in the lib folder files with .a not . dylib? thats very confusing for me, What does that even mean, When the mac folder needs .dylib and the doc says build as x86_64?

Keep in mind i tried also: arm64 and x86_64

If the cmake settings are correct, a .a file should be created. Follow the documentation to create the configuration with cmake-gui and make in the terminal.

When calling cmake in the terminal, you must have the correct options. This requires familiarity with the use of cmake.
