VST export issues
-
I've just gotten HISE and followed a few tutorials to get everything working, I'm not too interested in making anything huge just little bits and pieces for fun.
I'm trying to export my first little version of a plugin, I gotta do the "I know" typing thing and once that's done the windows command thingy shows up, but I can't find any traces of the actual VST. Not in the HISE project file, not in the source code. I can't find an answer, if anyone can help, please do
-
@Jambo what platform are you on windows or macOS?
-
@Lindon I'm on windows
-
@Jambo Have you compiled HISE?
-
@Jambo well if you've compiled HISE, ticked the "VST3 support" check box in File/Settings/Project, and run the export and not got any errors (red text) in your cmd window then the plugin should be in:
//Binaries/Compiled/VST3
-
@d-healey I Followed the compiling HISE 2022 tutorial as best I could, when I try and export my vst the cmd window has a fair amount of red text in it, it's all that certain file paths don't exist.
When I go into Binaries/Compiled there isn't a VST3 folder, I've enabled the VST3 support in HISE and that hasn't made a difference

Did you successfully compile HISE?
Have you set the HISE path in project preferences?
-
@d-healey I'm pretty sure it compiled properly, I've made a very basic project in HISE, it's just a gain knob with some custom UI elements, that all seems to be working fine. I've set a HISE path in the settings but there's no sign of a VST or VST folder anywhere in that path

Are you running the HISE binary that you compiled?
-
@d-healey If you mean the after you run the HISE stuff through Visual Studio, then you open that application then yes.
-
@Jambo Ok good, and you have no other copies of HISE or the source code on your system?
-
@d-healey This is one area I'm suspicious of, I did initially just download and used a HISE installer but once I realised all the actual steps you need to take I uninstalled that version and searched my drive for anything to do with HISE and deleted what I found. After a bit I couldn't find anything so I'm thinking I must've gotten rid of it all, but I'm not 100% sure
-
Did you extract the SDKs in the Tools folder?
-
@d-healey I did

There won't be, you're just telling HISE where the HISE source code lives to it can compile your project.
Make a video to show us exactly what's happening.

@d-healey
The default windows screen recording isn't showing everything, but here's the cmd error's I get when I go to create the vst -
@Jambo Disable IPP in project preferences
-
@d-healey Man I could've sworn I turned off IPP ages ago, that makes sense now
️ So far there's been no errors with the cmd, just waiting for it to finish "generating code" -
@Jambo Right the cmd is just sitting on "Generating Code". A vst folder has appeared and there's a vst plugin in there so I'm assuming it's all worked
