VST export failed

[Christoph Hart]

Enter VST3 in the search bar of the settings window :)

@Christoph-Hart Ok, now I'm a burden...
I tried to redownload/recompile a proper version of Hise (the last master)
I did it without, then with the VST SDK
I ticked the VST3 support in preferences

Nothing works: "VST SDK is missing"

[ustk]

Does VST3 export work for anybody?

[ulrik]

@ustk I have not tried it yet

Guys, the issue with SDK files missing can be sorted by editing the file which is referencing to them, then editing the relative path to the absolute path on your computer. When your VS2017 compiling fails, it gives you a list of files with errors. Open the file and find the lines of code in question. They will contain the relative path. That's what I did when compiling of HISE failed with the latest branch.

[ustk]

@gorangrooves Thanks, but my build actually works using xcode, it's when I export the my Hise project in VST that I have the missing SDK

[ustk]

Back on this problem...
It is probably trivial, but the idiot I am can't figure out how to export VST3
Can someone please assist me on how to do it properly on mac?

Here's where I am:

• I enabled VST3 support in the project pref
• when I export my VSTi, I just have the "VST SDK is missing" message
• I'm using the last scriptnode

I don't understand what file I have to edit...
It might be because I am exporting directly into Hise, not via Xcode, you see, I'm lost...

@ustk did you look in:

/tools/SDK/

and find

VST3 SDK

?

[ustk]

I don't have anything but what comes with Hise
Since I don't need VST2 anymore I didn't put anything in there
Also, I thought that everything now comes directly with Hise, isn't it?

[d.healey]

@ustk Yep, I'm pretty sure you're right about that.

[ustk]

...strange
Might be a flag in the Projucer, or when compiling Hise?

[d.healey]

@ustk Did you try searching for the file with the relative path as @gorangrooves suggested?

[ustk]

@d-healey that's what I don't understand...
What file? Where?

[d.healey]

@ustk The file should be mentioned in the error message.

[ustk]

That is what I thought at first but here's what I got:

[d.healey]

@ustk Oh, yeah add the VST2 sdk to the SDK folder as Lindon suggested and that should go away. Seems like it's a bug because when you enable VST3 export I would have thought this message would be suppressed.

[ustk]

Ok so I found a way to at least not to have this error message, but it didn't work with VST2 SDK but by decompressing the sdk.zip, which have a VST3 SDK folder...

But when compiling, here's what I get:

And when going into the juce_VST3Headers.h file, it is apparently a version issue, because I don't have base/source/flock.cppfile anywhere:

[d.healey]

@ustk Actually the VST3 SDK folder is the VST2.4 SDK ;)

I'm not sure about the flock.cpp thing

Yep you're right, but since there is also a VST2 folder that exists I want to make it clearer...

@Christoph-Hart any thought about this VST3 problem that persists?
