It just switches that fast without downloading anything?

Yep, you already have everything when you download the repo, it's just moving between different states when you change commit/branch.

When Christoph pushes some new changes you'll need to download those, for that you use git pull

@pcs800 Did you clean the build?

What's is D:\Development\Project? Is that a folder on your system?

No it is not

@pcs800 After switching commits did you open the projucer project again and resave and open in IDE?

Yes

Yes

And this was after you reopened visual studio after changing commits?

Yes, but i can do it all again on video and show you if you'd like

[d.healey]

I'm looking at the HISE source code and that line about the NKS thing was actually added 4 months ago, so it's possible it's not a problem with the version of the source code you have but something entirely different.

What is the exact path to Visual Studio on your system?

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE

Do you have this in the extra definitions in Projucer HISE_INCLUDE_NKS_SDK=1?

[pcs800]

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

Where is that located in projucer?

[d.healey]

@pcs800

The box labelled "Extra Preprocessor Definitions"

@d-healey

[d.healey]

@pcs800 Strange, for some reason it's trying to include the nks wrapper...

Try adding HISE_INCLUDE_NKS_SDK=0 in that section.

[pcs800]

@d-healey
I added it, and did a debug build after cleaning.
It succeeded! I am trying a release build now.

That's good. No idea why it's trying to include that file though, very strange.

[pcs800]

@d-healey Well now you know, for the next guy who gets stuck in this loop.
So does this mean I can switch to the latest commit?

You can try it, github says it's not building though. But if it doesn't work, just switch back to the commit that works.
