error C4002 too many arguments for function-like macro invocation ‘check’

Caused by:
Third party libiary contains function check(), it would be shadowed by a macro check named as UE_CHECK_IMPL which implemented in UE4.

Solution 1st (Recommended):
If you have .o files there, a good solution:

#to rename the symbols in .o file
objcopy --prefix-symbols=pre_string test.o

or

#to rename the specific symbol in .o file.
objcopy --redefine-sym old_str=new_str test.o

Solution 2nd:
Rename the function check() in third party library source and rebuild it.

typedef redefinition with different types (’long’ vs ‘FPlatformTypes::int64’)

I had to change “opencv2/core/types_c.h”.
I changed the code below:

#else
    typedef int64_t int64;
    typedef uint64_t uint64;
    #define CV_BIG_INT(n)   n##LL
    #define CV_BIG_UINT(n)  n##ULL
#endif

By the the following code:

#else
    typedef long long int64;
    typedef unsigned long long uint64;
    #define CV_BIG_INT(n)   n##LL
    #define CV_BIG_UINT(n)  n##ULL
#endif
