Unsupported target platform

My version is 1.13.2.When I package LinuxAArch64 it says version not supported.The cause of the packaging failure is "Ignoring plugin CesiumForUnreal (referenced via default plugins) due to unsupported target platform."How to solve it?

Hi @jksdsdf, welcome to the community!

v1.13.2 is very old (we’re up to v2.7.1), so you should really upgrade if you can. That may require upgrading your Unreal Engine version as well.

But even in the latest version, Linux on ARM is not an officially-supported platform. You’ll need to build manually from source in order to support this platform. This process is not entirely straightforward, but these instructions can get you started:

CesiumGS/cesium-unreal/blob/main/Documentation/developer-setup.md

## Overview

This is a summary of a setup and workflows for developers who want to work with the *Cesium for Unreal* plugin. Such a setup consists of three main components:

- [`cesium-native`](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium-native) : A collection of engine-independent libraries for 3D Tiles, geospatial, etc. Most of the functionality of *Cesium for Unreal* is built based on these libraries.
- [`cesium-unreal`](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium-unreal) : The source code of the actual *Cesium for Unreal* plugin.
- An Unreal project that uses the plugin. We will use the [`cesium-unreal-samples`](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium-unreal-samples) as an example here, to get started quickly. It contains sample levels for different use cases, and can therefore be used to quickly check for possible regressions of feature changes.

> Note: It is generally possible to work with `cesium-native` *independent* of `cesium-unreal`. But any modification in `cesium-native` will have to be checked carefully for possible breaking changes in the API or the build process. So the following describes the developer setup from the perspective of someone who wants to work with `cesium-native` mainly in the context of `cesium-unreal`.

## Principles

There are detailed instructions for setting up a Cesium for Unreal development environment on each platform. But if you're already used to doing this sort of thing, you can probably use whatever workflow you like as long as you follow some important principles:

- To build Cesium for Unreal, you must first compile and cmake-install cesium-native and its dependencies to `Plugins/cesium-unreal/Source/ThirdParty`.
- cesium-native is built and installed using CMake and the `CMakeLists.txt` found in the `cesium-unreal/extern` directory, _not_ the one in the `cesium-unreal/extern/cesium-native` directory. When installing from this directory, the default install path will put cesium-native where Cesium for Unreal expects to find it.
- You must use the same compiler to build cesium-native and Cesium for Unreal.
- On Windows, packaging the Cesium for Unreal plugin on Windows requires Visual Studio 2017. This means you must also build cesium-native with Visual Studio 2017 in order for plugin packaging to be successful. But if you're not concerned with packaging, you can use Visual Studio 2019 exclusively.
- The Unreal project "DebugGame" configuration tries to use the debug build of cesium-native if one is built and installed, and falls back on the release build otherwise. The "Development" and "Shipping" configurations use the release build exclusively.
- Our CI build process checks for formatting using clang, and fails if code is improperly formatted. To run clang on all source code before committing, run `npm ci` to install node modules, then `npm run format`.

I saw a linux folder in a third-party library(CesiumForUnreal\Source\ThirdParty\lib),there is no LinuxAArch64 folder.If I compile successfully, how do I link?

Right, Cesium for Unreal supports Linux on Intel/AMD x86-64, but not on ARM.

If I compile successfully, how do I link?

Sorry, I don’t really understand what you’re getting at.

I have linuxARM requirements, so I need to recompile cesium，Can I fix this problem if I recompile the “thirdpart”？I see package linux is linked to thirdpart below Linux-64 folder.Assuming I have compiled, how do I link to cesium？

I’ve already linked the Developer Setup instructions, which explain how this is done. If you’re running into a problem at a specific step, let us know where.
