Errors while building Unreal Engine 4 for Movement API

One liner: Use VS 2019 not VS 2017.

 

I was following the Movement SDK for Unreal tutorial from the Meta Quest documents. [Link]

The document leads to this github repo. [Link]

However, after following all instructions at the end of every compilation, I got the LNK2001 error.

I tried various approaches to check what I suspected.

 

But after a long time of trials, I finally figured out from this issue that it was a fault of Visual Studio 2017, even though the repository emphasized using VS 2017 in the README. [Link]

Don't believe the repository itself, even though you need to follow it.. Ha..

 

It builds well in VS 2019.
