Error building GameLift 3.2 from cmake

Question

Got this error while building the new GameLift 3.2 from cmake. As a result, prefix output is empty.

How can we fix this?

p.s. Couldn't you just give us the built files instead of the source code?

```
  CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:1811 (message):
error: could not find git for clone of sioclient-src

You need to install git.

You can install it using the visual studio installer (modify->common tools->git for windows) or download it directly from https://git-scm.com/download

Well I already deleted v3.20, sorry... took too much space.

Sigh.. now Unreal 4.18 said it failed to compile the new plugin (even with "engine version" tag in place). I'm giving up and reverting back to v3.17. (which can be successfully built with UE4.18) You guys really make this harder than it should be...

Oh thx, I must have uninstalled gitHub and all the installed files after I built the last version.

Been saying this for awhile now...but I still rather just download the ready made plug-in folder instead of doing this every version though...
