AAX SDK missing?

Dan Korneff

Ok new prob
Compiling AAX, I'm getting the following error:

c:\users\studio a\desktop\hise-master 3-7-18\juce\modules\juce_audio_plugin_client\AAX/juce_AAX_Wrapper.cpp(51): error

You need to compile the AAX library to a static library and include the headers in the project.

The entire process of getting an AAX plugin is very tedious and you need to codesign them with PACE Eden to load them into Protools.

I'd postpone this until you have enough users demanding an AAX version of your plugin.

I'm getting this error while compiling my project as AAX

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Users\Orange\Documents\_HISE__\HISE-master\tools\SDK\AAX\Libs\Releas
e\AAXLibrary_x64.lib' [D:\ORANGE COLLECTION\SOURCE\OrangeD\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2017\OrangeD_AAX.vcxp
roj]

Christoph Hart

You need to compile the static libs for the AAX SDK. There are Visual Studio solutions for it available in the SDK.

Ok I don't know this is true but this is what I did;

Firstly I've tried AAX\Libs\AAXLibrary\WinBuild\vs2013\AAXLibrary.sln in VS2017 and it gave Compiler Error C2220
After a google research, I've disabled all of the warnings in VS2017 and tried to comply again and it complied AAXLibraries successfully.
The AAXLibrary_x64 file automatically created in AAX\Libs\Release folder
Then I tried recompilig my project in HISE, and then it gave this errors below :(

Maybe it is related to including header thing. But how can I do that? Is the above procedure right?

@Christoph-Hart can you make a suggestment for that?

Christoph Hart

You need to change the runtime library link settings to static in the AAX library and recompile them.

orange

@christoph-hart After that, do I need to do something? how can we make "including headers in project"?

Christoph Hart

The header files should be included automatically. It's the .lib files that you need to create on your own using the AAX SDK Solution file.

@christoph-hart Thank you so much bro. Yes you are right, building AAX plugins are like a pain in the ass. I've compiled plugin. Now it's digitally signings' turn :( I think the wraptool will be used. It's really long procedure....

Dan Korneff

@Christoph-Hart Do I need to compile the AAX SDK on each computer I use it on? Since AMD is a no- go at the moment, I've moved over to an Intel machine. I just copied the AAX SDK folder to the new machine, and I'm getting this error on export:

c:\program files\hise-master\juce\modules\juce_audio_plugin_client\aax\juce_aax_wrapper.cpp(51): error C2065: 'AAX_SDK_2p3p0_REVISION': undeclared identifier [F:\SNARE\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2017\SNARE_AAX.vcxproj]

dio2017\SNARE_AAX.vcxproj]

HISE latest build on PC.
It's working on my MAC though... so.... ??

Dan Korneff

maybe it's me? I just tried to use a file synchronizer to compare the SDK folders and get this error:

Gonna look a little closer

Dan Korneff

Cleaned the build directory and tried again.
Got this:

LINK : fatal error C1047: The object or library file 'C:\Program Files\HISE-master\tools\SDK\AAX\Libs\Release\AAXLibrar
y_x64.lib' was created with an older compiler than other objects; rebuild old objects and libraries [F:\SNARE\

Dan Korneff

re-downloaded all. re-compiled. same error

Anyone seen this before?

Dan Korneff

Upgraded to SDK 2.3.1 and it finally worked
