Unable to compile HISE VST plugin x64- VS2017

[gorangrooves]

Hey guys,
I've been trying to compile the latest master branch of HISE using Visual Studio 2017 with no luck. I am getting over 1000 errors! There seems to be a whole lot of syntax errors, ambiguous symbols, unexpected tokens, unknown override specifiers, etc. It looks like I wrote the code

Here is an example of 10 errors out of 1031:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	C2872	'String': ambiguous symbol (compiling source file ..\..\Source\PluginProcessor.cpp)	HISE_SharedCode	c:\hise-master\hi_dsp\processor.h	372

I hope it is enough to provide a clue.

When opening the HISE jucer project, Projucer tells me that my Projucer is out of date in relation to the project, even though I am using the Projucer supplied with the download of the whole HISE master branch. I tried compiling with the latest version of Projucer, but with similar results (maybe 800 errors).

Any ideas of what is going on and how I can get this sorted, please?

P.S. I am able to compile the standalone version, which leads me to believe that something may be wrong with the code for the plugin.

Thank you!

Oops, answered on the wrong topic:

HISE multiple outputs

Just checked, still compiles, but I noticed that there is still the old VS2015 exporter present in the Projucer file, and if you export it as VS2015 project ...
