Error in visual studio when building hise

[pcs800]

@d-healey In a command window, the command would be what?
The video shows git clone URL
If I try git checkout a20873ea7a8c00b251ddae7df8d6e3007f8c5f71, I get an error

[pcs800]

@pcs800 Actually if I browse from that point, I can download as a zip. Which is way more my style

[pcs800]

@d-healey I tried this one and get the same error

[d.healey]

@pcs800 Use the one from May 30th.

You start with a clone to download the repo, then you use git checkout to move between different commits or branches. I show this in the video to checkout the develop branch.

@d-healey Tried the one from May 30th, I get the same error.
Could it be that on this particular machine, I have the "Documents" folder, moved to my E drive? And that is where I am cloning to, then running projucer from there.

How many copies of the HISE source do you have on your system?

As long as it's a regular drive with standard read/write permissions, it should be totally fine.

None. I delete everything before starting the clone.

Yes, I just tried again in the main C:\ directory and got the same error.

Any idea what is happening?

FYI: The hise installer downloaded from the website, installs and runs normally.

I suspect there are some old files hanging around.

Have you tried cleaning the build?

Also what do you see if you run git log

[pcs800]

@d-healey
I do not know how to clean the build.
If I run git log from a cmd, I get this.

Did you watch the whole video? I show both of these things.

You clean the Build from the Build menu within visual studio.

For git commands you need to run them from within the git repo - the folder of source code on your system. I show how to set the working directory for the terminal on both Win11 and Win10 in the video above.

@d-healey I'll try those, but here's a list of everything with the word hise in it, on all my hard drives.

@pcs800 Also, I get the same error when building.

I don't see the HISE source code in the list

Is Visual Studio installed on your C drive?

[pcs800]

@d-healey Hise source is not on that list because this is after I delete everything before I clone.
Yes VS is installed on the C drive

So that's showing you're on the latest commit Date: Tue Jul 1 12:50:26 2025 +0200

You need to checkout the commit from May 30th

Follow the video. After the part where I show git checkout develop you then run git checkout a20873ea7a8c00b251ddae7df8d6e3007f8c5f71

[pcs800]

@d-healey Ok, i will try that but I did use the latest only a few days ago on my other dev machine and it worked fine.

Yes the latest one was from May 30th, until today when Christoph pushed a bunch of commits he's been working on since then.

[dannytaurus]

Just my 2¢ - you can see which commits are passing or failing CI on GitHub. It's probably a good idea not to try building from one of the commits that's failing for your OS (Mac/Win).

[pcs800]

@dannytaurus yes I noticed that. I'll try may 30th again.
