Failed to build third party libraries for PS5 #2120
Description
Describe the bug
Hello!
I'm trying to compile Gamelift libraries for PS5, but I get compilation errors that I don't know how to fix.
I use a PS5 specific CMake Toolchain file included with the PS5 SDK. I'm new to CMake and I don't know much about how to tweak the configuration and make this work.
I'm compiling from tag 1.8.x as it's the version used in my Unreal Engine integration and I need a matching version for all platforms.
Thanks!
Expected Behavior
With the adequate configuration, I should be able to compile the libraries and use them in my Unreal Engine integration.
Current Behavior
Compilation fails, seeloutput log attached: awslogs.txt
The compilation fails right at the start when compiling AwsCommon, because of implicit function declaration being invalid in C99. I tried changing the C standard but I'm not sure how since I'm new to CMake.
Reproduction Steps
- Have access to the PS5 SDK
- Clone repository and pull 1.8.x tag
- Run: %PathToPS5SDK%\Prospero\Tools\CMake\PS5CMake.bat ./.. -DBUILD_ONLY="gamelift"
Possible Solution
No response
Additional Information/Context
No response
AWS CPP SDK version used
1.8.x
Compiler and Version used
prospero-clang 13.0.1
Operating System and version
Windows 10 19043.2006

This isn't something that we currently support, but might at some point in the future. Please upvote the issue if this is something that you would like support for.
I did take a look at the log file and it looks like you are running into a problem with AwsCCommon, but I'm not sure what the fix would be without looking into it more.

Hello!
Well I hope a lot of PS5 developers show up and upvote this, because I'm still stuck! From what I understood so far the issue with compiling AwsCommon was that it has different sources for windows and posix. PS5 being a Unix like target, AwsCommon tries to use posix sources, but fails because I do not have the required includes/libraries on my Windows environment.
Editing CMakeLists.txt to force using windows sources solve the first few errors, but other errors pop up. So I'm starting to think that I should try setting up a Linux workspace and use it to try and build the libraries. Is there anything specific I should know to build Gamelift Libraries from a Linux environment?
Best regards,

Hello, just wondering if there has been any update on a plan to support PS5 and offer compiled libraries

Converting this to a Discussion. The ask is an effort we intend to pursue over time rather than a single change with a near-term milestone, so a Discussion is a better home for gathering use cases and tracking the pieces.
