Error in visual studio when building hise

[pcs800]

@d-healey How do I download a different commit? I am seeing develop branch updated 4 hours ago, but nothing else

Ah that explains it, Christoph must have just broken it :)

How do I download a different commit?

In the terminal you can use git checkout followed by the commit hash.

Click on the commits button at github so see a list of all the commits by date.

Then click the copy button next to the commit you want and it will copy the commit hash to the clipboard so you can paste it in the terminal.

I recommend trying this one a20873ea7a8c00b251ddae7df8d6e3007f8c5f71

@d-healey In a command window, the command would be what?
The video shows git clone URL
If I try git checkout a20873ea7a8c00b251ddae7df8d6e3007f8c5f71, I get an error

[pcs800]

@pcs800 Actually if I browse from that point, I can download as a zip. Which is way more my style

[pcs800]

@d-healey I tried this one and get the same error

@pcs800 Use the one from May 30th.

You start with a clone to download the repo, then you use git checkout to move between different commits or branches. I show this in the video to checkout the develop branch.

@d-healey Tried the one from May 30th, I get the same error.
Could it be that on this particular machine, I have the "Documents" folder, moved to my E drive? And that is where I am cloning to, then running projucer from there.

How many copies of the HISE source do you have on your system?

As long as it's a regular drive with standard read/write permissions, it should be totally fine.

@d-healey said in Error in visual studio when building hise:

How many copies of the HISE source do you have on your system?

None. I delete everything before starting the clone.

Yes, I just tried again in the main C:\ directory and got the same error.

Any idea what is happening?

FYI: The hise installer downloaded from the website, installs and runs normally.

I suspect there are some old files hanging around.

Have you tried cleaning the build?

Also what do you see if you run git log

[pcs800]

@d-healey
I do not know how to clean the build.
If I run git log from a cmd, I get this.

Did you watch the whole video? I show both of these things.

You clean the Build from the Build menu within visual studio.

For git commands you need to run them from within the git repo - the folder of source code on your system. I show how to set the working directory for the terminal on both Win11 and Win10 in the video above.

@d-healey I'll try those, but here's a list of everything with the word hise in it, on all my hard drives.

I don't see the HISE source code in the list

Is Visual Studio installed on your C drive?

[pcs800]

@d-healey Hise source is not on that list because this is after I delete everything before I clone.
Yes VS is installed on the C drive

So that's showing you're on the latest commit Date: Tue Jul 1 12:50:26 2025 +0200

You need to checkout the commit from May 30th

Follow the video. After the part where I show git checkout develop you then run git checkout a20873ea7a8c00b251ddae7df8d6e3007f8c5f71

[pcs800]

@d-healey Ok, i will try that but I did use the latest only a few days ago on my other dev machine and it worked fine.

Yes the latest one was from May 30th, until today when Christoph pushed a bunch of commits he's been working on since then.
