Hi, it would be great to provide a bit more details about errors in engine compilation.

for basic context maybe refer to #182

[OnClickListener2048]

@fzyzcjy thank you indeed for your response, my environment is OS: windows 11 and when i compile engine i get this

what confusing me is i'm my compiling platform is android but the error is telling me i'm compiling window's engine.

[fzyzcjy]

Hmm I have not compiled it on windows yet (only on macos). In #182 (comment), it seems that macos compiles well while windows fail to compile.

Hello! @OnClickListener2048 those flutter_windows libs are probably mandatory for the system to work, don't worry because you are indeed building for android. Have you installed libs for spectre (x64 and x86) for visual studio? I ran into (I believe) the same issue, although I was on Windows 10; from the last line of the error message it looks like maybe the file
atls.lib is missing from the out/android_debug_unopt_arm64/ (this is the error I was getting). Try to copy it from $(VSInstallDir)\Tools\MSVC\<version>\atlmfc\lib (if there are separate folders for x86, x64, arm64 etc, make sure to pick the arm64 one) into out/android_debug_unopt_arm64/ and then try to rebuild the engine again.

(btw given #182 (comment) it seems that @OnClickListener2048 will be I won't be able to use a computer for the next 12-14 days since I'm going on holiday, although I think I'll be able to answer questions from my phone that do not require direct programming)

@jmquilez @fzyzcjy Thank you, this is heartwarming response and i will reset my environment as you said and recompile it again, and thank you, @fzyzcjy hope you have a good holiday!

@jmquilez Hi, I did reset my environment and recompile it and i got this error

I decode this somehow and it says that i don't have link.exe and i searched about it, it should be setup while my visual studio installed, but i can't find it in the dir C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC (my visual studio install dir), it doesn't even have bin dir, so by any chance , do you have any idea what is going on here?

[jmquilez]

Hi again! Sorry for not answering earlier. I am finally back from my holidays.

it doesn't even have bin dir,

It looks like in visual studio 2022 this link.exe file is under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.36.32532\bin\Hostx64\x64\link.exe. Please check if it's there and if so, copy and paste it into out/android_debug_unopt_arm64/ and try to rebuild the engine again. Here is the Microsoft thread where I found the link.exe file path:
