errors when trying to work with UnrealCV plugin: "Plugin missing or incompatible" about unrealcv

[qiuwch]

Hi, @mikeroberts3000:

Sorry for this inconvenience. I did not include a compiled version of the plugin for Mac yet.

To solve this, there are two solutions.

1. You can create a C++ unreal project, when you open that project. The unrealcv will be compiled. If it is just a blueprint project, no compilation will be done.
2. I can provide you a compiled version for mac. I can send you with email tonight. I did not have my mac with me right now.

@qiuwch Do you mean a compiled version of the UnrealCV plugin? Interestingly, the content downloaded by running curl -L http://unrealcv.github.io/install.sh | sh (as specified in the tutorial) doesn't contain any binaries. But then after you try to open the project in Unreal, a Binaries folder gets created with Win64 and Linux subfolders, but no Mac64 folder. Is this what you mean? Is there a special flag you need to set somewhere to make Unreal compile the right binaries for Mac?

Of the solutions you suggested, I think solution 2 is better for the UnrealCV project. Because then there is one recommended way to do everything, only one tutorial to write, etc.

That is a bit strange. The downloaded zip file should already contain Binaries/Win64, Binaries/Linux without needing to run Unreal. I just tried this.

I totally agree with you. The missing binary for mac is something I need to do. There are also many unfinished parts of the website I need to spend time with. Currently, the building process is: I need to build the plugin in three different machines with different OS, then merge the compiled files together to create a zip file.

I spent about a week to setting up the Jenkins CI on three machines trying to automate this for the future releases. Let's see whether it works well.

@qiuwch Ah, my mistake, yes the zip file does already contain the Binaries folder. Without needing to run Unreal. So that is my problem. If there is anything I can do to help maintain the mac part of the build, please do lmk :)
