Cannot build with ILC2PP in 2019.1.8f1

I'm getting the following issue when trying to make a Il2CPP windows desktop build. I have re-installed both unity and visual studio 2017 pro, first with a basic installation and later with everything installed so as to ensure any SDK's are not missing. When I installed Unity I made sure to add the Android package (saw it mentioned elsewhere that IL2CPP require the ndk, not sure why) as well which then downloaded and installed the sdks and ndks



Any help would be great as this is happening on all projects and stopping me from making builds.

Thanks

is this a ARFoundation application?

 

No it’s a VR game

 

Sorry, are you receiving an error, what is stopping you?

 

Yes I am receiving an error. It’s in the first post in the spoiler section. It’s related to not being able to find assert.h but the file exists

 

Sorry about that, missed the error. Does it also happen on a new/empty project?

 

I will check that tomorrow but it happens on two separate existing projects.

If it helps I had visual studio 2019 and 2017 installed side by side and uninstalled 2019 recently, however I have also reinstalled vs 2017 since removing 2019 but it hasn’t resolved the issue, nor has reinstalling unity.

Thanks

 

I have just checked and it fails in a new project as well with the same error

 

Yeah it was a longshot with the SDK and NDK, but I saw it mentioned in another post with a similar issue.

In regards to my VS installation I am pretty sure I have everything setup correctly, see the attached screenshots.

Thanks for your help

Spoiler: Screenshots

 

I'm having the same issues with an ARFoundation app. I've spent 2 days trying to get this published...

 

Oh fantastic. I will give that a try in the morning.

Thanks

 

I have just tested this morning and its all working perfectly. Thanks for all your help. Really appreciate it
