Build broken on 4.4 - Deleting junk file (DLL)

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hi,

I just updated to a clean UE4.4 source install on Windows. The build is atrociously slow because Android and HTML5 DLLs are rebuilt every time. I don’t need them, how can I fix my Unreal installation ?

I tried :

  • removing Intermediate folders in my project and in Unreal folder
  • deleting the Unreal installation and recloning it from GitHub
  • using debug or development configuration yields the same result
  • deleting the DLLs manually doesn’t fix it either

Right now it is very painful to work because of this.

Here is half the log (this is repeated two times).

Put that file in Engine/Build (overwrite the one that is there. This got missed in the final build.
