Build-error: building for ... but attempting to link with file built for unknown-unsupported file format

If you encounter the following error:

... ignoring file /PROJECT_NAME/Plugins/Odin/Source/OdinCore/PLATFORM/..., 
building for PLATFORM but attempting to link with file built for unknown-unsupported file format 
( 0x76 0x65 0x72 0x73 0x69 0x6F 0x6E 0x20 0x68 0x74 0x74 0x70 0x73 0x3A 0x2F 0x2F )

it’s most likely due to issues with git LFS (large file storage). A standard clone of the ODIN-Unreal-SDK repository might only retrieve the metadata about these files managed with LFS. In order to retrieve the actual data with LFS, please follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/4Players/odin-sdk-unreal.git
  1. Cache the actual LFS data on your local machine and replace the metadata in the binary files with their actual contents:
git lfs fetch
git lfs checkout

… or if you have a recent LFS version:

git lfs pull

Next, move or copy the files into a new Odin sub-folder under your projects Plugins folder. It should end up looking like /MyProject/Plugins/Odin/.
