pdfium.lib invalid or corrupt file

[Sam Andy]

After building pdfium.lib successfully, I created a console app and tried to link to this library but unfortunately I got the C:\google\repo\pdfium\out\release\obj\pdfium.lib : fatal error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt file

FWIW, here's the appveyor config I use to generate windows builds:
https://github.com/sandsmark/pdfium/blob/master/appveyor.yml

I'm in the middle of trying to get it to work with our own
application, but it seems to at least generate valid .lib files.


You can download the artifacts from here (click on a build and then
"artifacts"):
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/sandsmark/pdfium/history

E. g. release build for 32 bit, the zip file also contains the .lib:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/sandsmark/pdfium/build/96/job/933kxt6n3k9bpqvi/artifacts
