It looks like your missing a files that would contain macro definitions.

Why are you trying to compile the engine then?

Is the version you are trying to compile verified to actually compile? I saw a post on reddit of someone who was compiling UE5 every day to keep track of which commits do and which don't compile. Might be worth tracking down as there's no point in trying to debug something that doesn't work in the first place.

Hey guys, the point is to download UnrealVS extension always when you use Unreal with Visual Studio

I compiled it on my Linux machine just fine. Took some bloody compilation time but works in the end.  Did you read their official guide for windows compilation?

Hey, run into the exact same problem after building the engine manually without the RunUAT.bat file, did you get it to work?

What Linux distro? Epic only supports Ubuntu so it might not work on others (including Ubuntu distros)

Then it's likely a problem with that specific commit. Though I've had decent luck erasing the contents of my UE source folder and doing a fresh setup.
