先构建
MsBuild
所需环境配置
然后利用
MsBuild 编译UnrealBuildTool
最后调用…\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool.exe -ProjectFiles %* ，即调用UnrealBuildTool.exe并传入所需参数
运行UnrealBuildTool.exe以生成Visual Studio解决方案和项目文件
1、源码中最外层的下图bat，如果按照官方教程一步步走下来，windows平台上会进入下一个bat
2、第二个bat如下图
3、几个关键点，
UnrealBuildToolFiles.txt 和 UnrealBuildToolPrevFiles.txt
都是在上述bat中生成的
UnrealBuildToolFiles.txt 是扫描下面文件夹下所有的.CS文件生成的一个文件路径信息
UnrealBuildToolPrevFiles.txt 可以理解成是上一次点击生成的文件路径信息
两个文件形成对比，检查UBT目录中的文件是否已更改。

关于UnrealBuildTool的理解
原因和新版本的vs2017有关，博主通过vs 安装器更新到最新版本的vs2017，缺少支持上述文件的管理包。
解决办法是打开Visual Studio Installer,选择修改，在单个组件中勾上“NuGet 包管理器”组件。安装完成之后在再运行该文件就不会提...

解决方法：
如果你尝试了以下几种方法：
1. 实际是调用了Engine\Build\BatchFiles\GenerateProjectFiles.bat2. 然后调用Engine\Build\BatchFiles\GetMSBuildPath.bat3. 依次查找2017,2015,2013 vs的MSBuild.exe，首先找到哪个版本的MSBuild.exe就直接成功退出4. 调用MSBuild.exe生成UnrealBuildT...
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.14\Engine\Binaries\Win64 下面找一下UnrealVersionSelector文件，，复制到C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.14\Engine\Binaries\Win64 并且双击运行即可
很多小伙伴在做开发的时候都用Epic管理的UE引擎，可是在企业实际开发中，需要用到虚幻的源代码。UE和Unity相比的优势也是开源，所以使用引擎的源码很有必要，便于了解底层和修改底层逻辑很有帮助。很多小伙伴不清楚如何编译，本文就详细讲解一下如何编译安装拿到手的源码。
1.更新依赖
• 打开引擎文件目录运行Setup.bat 在列出缺失文件后输入y开始安装
2.完成后，运行GenerateProjectFiles.bat
• 之后编译UE4源码，打开UE4.sln。编译文件，时间很长、耐心等待。注意工具栏“
