Build failed with critical errors

Closed this issue 2 months ago · 5 comments

I downloaded this git, unzipped and placed the plugin in my project's Plugins/ folder.
Tried to build the project (using Rider) and it is failing with this errors:

0>------ Building 4 action(s) started ------
0>[1/4] Link [x64] UnrealEditor-RiveRenderer.dll
0>rive_libwebp.lib: Error  : LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x84

0>[3/4] Link [x64] UnrealEditor-Rive.dll
0>rive_libwebp.lib: Error  : LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x84

Any help?

Once you've placed the plugin in the Plugins/Rive/ folder, start the Unreal editor. It will detect and build the plugin.

I did exactly that but then I got an error says : "MyProject could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually."
When I build using Rider it shows the errors above.

I created a brand new project and same results.

@Tod-Rive
So stupid of me.
I downloaded the library using "Download Zip" instead of downlading the plugin from the release page.
It works now!
Thanks for the help BTW
