Error in visual studio when building hise

@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

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

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]

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.

@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?

[d.healey]

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.

[pcs800]

@d-healey Nah, I will stay with this one. It works, and I need to get to work on why I came in here today in the first place.
I appreciate you sticking with me on this David. You're a saint ;-)
Release build successful, BTW

Ok, I opened a project with this new build of hise and when I went to export the plugin, it told me to set the source code path. So I went to Export>export wizard.
Set the path to Documents/Hise
It downloaded, extracted, etc. All was well.
Then I went to export the plugin again and got this

After I clicked ok, I had it build the vst3, which gave a load of errors.
I didn't screenshot them, but I can do it again if you need to see them.

Yeah I hate that wizard, it needs work.

So thanks to it you now have two copies of the HISE source code on your system. Delete the one it downloaded.

Go to HISE preferences and set the HISE path to the version you downloaded earlier.
