Build-Unreal-AutoSDK

Build-Unreal-AutoSDK is a collection of PowerShell scripts that you run on a machine that is completely setup for Unreal SDK development, and it will copy all of the SDKs to a new location that matches Unreal's expected "AutoSDK" spec, so that you may use it with other builder machines without having to manually set them all up. See the Epic documentation for further details.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ericblade/Build-Unreal-AutoSDK

Usage

From a Windows command prompt

Additional command line options:

-Clean Remove all things in the AutoSDK root path before copying.

-SkipVCTools Do not copy over Visual C++ Toolset

-SkipWindowsSDK Do not copy over the Windows Kit

-SkipNetFXSDK Do not copy over the NetFX SDK

-SkipDIASDK Do not copy over the DIA SDK

-OnlyVCTools Only copy Visual C++ Toolset

-OnlyWindowsSDK Only copy Windows SDK

-OnlyNetFXSDK Only copy NetFX SDK

-OnlyDIASDK Only copy DIA SDK

Using your new AutoSDK setup

There are at least a few ways you can use AutoSDK:

• If you are using your own custom build system, you can place the AutoSDK root somewhere on a network drive, and then on each Unreal builder that needs to use the AutoSDK, you can set the environment variable UE_SDKS_ROOT to the location containing the root AutoSDK file system.
• You can also copy it locally to every build machine, if you'd like to spend the time to do that, which may be useful, versus network mounting it, depending on your situation.
• You can also submit it to your perforce or other source control system, and have your build scripts ensure that each machine has a current copy of the AutoSDK.
• If you use Unreal Horde, it uses the latter method -- you can configure an autoSdk property in the Unreal Horde server's globals.json file, under the "perforceClusters" section, something to the tune of

			"autoSdk": [
				{
					"name": "AutoSDK-Main",
					"properties": [
						"OSFamily=Windows"
					],
					"stream": "//AutoSDK/main"
				}
			]

then add "useAutoSdk": true to each workspaceTypes entry in your project.json. If you do this, each of your Horde agents will automatically pull a copy of that perforce stream, and use those SDKs to build with.
