"Cannot resolve symbol" when building with engine

I have a custom 4.24 engine version, so I have to rebuild plugins I download. My usual process is:
- Extract and add to subfolder of Engine\Plugins\
- Run
GenerateProjectFiles.batin engine directory - Right click on game .uproject and Regenerate Visual Studio project files
- Open the games Visual Studio solution
- Open a plugin source file
- Ctrl+B
This works with other plugins. However with this one I get unresolved symbol errors which point to the extra libraries you're using.
Any idea how I can fix this and get this building?

Can you paste more log about the unresolved symbol errors?
Let me guess. Can you find three files below for windows 64?
If you can't find them, you have to make sure your git supports LFS and pull the LFS file by git lfs pull. This project uses the LFS to store compiled static library files. More about the git LFS: https://git-lfs.github.com/
If the size of the file is incorrect, you have to follow the instruction below (from the project's README.md).
If you get the message
batch response: This repository is over its data quota. Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.when you clone or pull from github, you can pull the project from gitlab. I don't have enough money to buy LFS bandwidth. 😭. The LFS is excellent, but its free bandwidth is too small for an open-source project like this.

Ok, I know the reason. You use Using Visual Studio 2017 14.16.27038 toolchain to compile the project, but my static lib files were compiled by vs2019. You have to compile the libgltf by yourself and reference github action of libgltf.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
