Newbie confusions by using precompiled HISE
-
Hi everyone,
I'm new to HISE and have just started working with it. I downloaded and installed the precompiled version of HISE. However, when I try to export my project as a VST plugin, I encounter an error related to the "HISE path" not being set correctly.
I'm not entirely sure how to fix this issue. Could anyone guide me on how to properly set up my environment and successfully export my VST plugin? I would appreciate any detailed steps or advice, as I'm finding the process a bit confusing.
Thank you in advance for your help

The truth is the idea of "exporting" a plugin is a dirty lie. What happens when you export from HISE is a JUCE project is created which then needs to be compiled to a plugin or standalone app. You need to do this on each OS you want to create a plugin for.
The first step is to drop the precompiled version of HISE and build it yourself from source. Once you can do this the "export" process becomes very simple.
Instructions are available on the github page and I have a couple of videos about it on my YouTube channel. https://github.com/christophhart/HISE?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-compile-hise

@d-healey i built HISE by myself by following instructions on your youtube channel , and its perfectly worked. now the thing is
Re-saving file: D:\project plugins\Binaries\AutogeneratedProject.jucer
Finished saving: Visual Studio 2022
Finished saving: Xcode (macOS)
Finished saving: Xcode (iOS)
Finished saving: Linux Makefile
Compiling 64bit Instrument plugin project plugins ...
The system cannot find the path specified.
Press any key to continue . . .
this error is showing in cmd. can you please help me with this -
@IMxcaliber You need to set the path to the HISE source code in project preferences. Also have you extracted the SDKs in the tools folder?
-
@d-healey i already set HISE source code path and extracted the SDK in the tools folder brother.
-
@IMxcaliber Open a terminal (cmd) type msbuild and hit enter, what do you see?
-
@d-healey MSBuild version 17.10.4+10fbfbf2e for .NET Framework
MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The current working directory does not contain a project or solution file.i see this bro
-
@IMxcaliber That seems correct. Have you select Visual Studio 2022 in HISE project preferences?
-
@d-healey yeah its selected in preferences
-
@IMxcaliber Is Visual Studio installed on your C drive?
-
@d-healey No, i installed it on another drive named D because , there is no space in my C drive (i changed the default shared location for visual studio using regedit)
-
@IMxcaliber Oh that's why it's not working (I just saw your other post too).
-
@d-healey yeah brother. is there any solution for that like adding environment variables.

The only solution I know is to install Visual Studio on the C drive. Move other stuff onto your D drive to make room for it.
-
@d-healey oh thank you very much brother. i will try it. i watched an interview featuring you conducted by Composing gloves yt channel. you inspire me a lot brother.
-
@IMxcaliber Oh cool, yeah that was a few years ago. I just did another interview with A Joe-Blog Composer on his YouTube channel which he posted a few days ago.
