HISE Build issues...(Copy Protection system)

[Lindon]

OK so I'm having some HISE compile issues on windows, latest HISE build, VS2022

HISE builds fine - but my project crashes everything because it uses the activate services, so I need to add the lines:

USE_COPY_PROTECTION=1
USE_SCRIPT_COPY_PROTECTION=1
HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1

to the extra definitions, but as soon as I do so HISE fails to build with these errors:

>D:\HISE\hi_scripting\scripting\api\ScriptingApiContent.cpp(1907,2): error C2680: 'hise::FrontendProcessor *': invalid target type for dynamic_cast

What am I doing thats sillier than usual?

to the extra definitions, but as soon as I do so HISE fails to build with these errors:

Which extra definition triggers the error? Is it just one, or a combination of all 3?

[Lindon]

@d-healey
USE_COPY_PROTECTION on its own will cause the error, havent checked each of the others individually...

[Lindon]

@Lindon
HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1 compiles fine...
USE_SCRIPT_COPY_PROTECTION=1 fails again...

[Lindon]

@Lindon here's my entire Extra Preprocessor Definitions entry for windows:

HISE_SCRIPT_SERVER_TIMEOUT=20000
HISE_USE_VS2022=1
PERFETTO=0
NOMINMAX=1
WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN=1
NUM_HARDCODED_FX_MODS=3
USE_COPY_PROTECTION=1
USE_SCRIPT_COPY_PROTECTION=1
HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1

[d.healey]

So it's something specific to those copy protection flags. I'll try here and see what I get.

[d.healey]

Yeah I get the same errors here.

[Lindon]

@d-healey OK thanks.... @Christoph-Hart !!!!

@Lindon Are you using FAUST Enabled HISE version??

I gave it a try without FAUST plugins (just a regular Saturation VST3). It compiled successfully.

@Lindon What version of Windows are you using ? I am using it on Windows 11 23H2. It works fine. Even I didn't add any Flags as you can see here.

If I find any problem on FAUST plugins , I will let you know.

Here is my simple "HISE 4.0 with FAUST on Windows 11 Tutorial "

[d.healey]

@DabDab I think Lindon's trying to compile HISE, not export a plugin. The issue is unrelated to FAUST, it's triggered by the copy protection flags.

[DabDab]

@d-healey Ok, no problem. But I didn't find any HISE building issue both on FAUST and Non FAUST versions of HISE.

[d.healey]

@DabDab Did you use the same preprocessor definitions as Lindon?

[DabDab]

@DabDab Did you use the same preprocessor definitions as Lindon?

That's what I am saying. I didn't add any extra pp definition. I used default projucer that comes with HISE develop source code. I used vs 2022 on Windows 11 23H2. It should not have problem.

[d.healey]

@DabDab He needs to use these preprocessor definitions for the copy protection system he's using.

[DabDab]

@d-healey that means it is user specific. If we don't want to use copy protection system , it shouldn't cause any issue right?

[d.healey]

Yeah it's only a problem for people who are using the built in copy protection system

Great. The title confused me " HISE build issue". It is supposed to be " HISE build issue for Copy protection System".
Any how thank you to @Lindon for getting us the right solution.

[d.healey]

@DabDab It is a HISE build issue. HISE won't build when using those preprocessor definitions, those definitions are part of the HISE codebase. Currently we don't have a solution.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart -- any chance of a solution soon (ish)?
