VST export failed

[d.healey]

@ustk The file should be mentioned in the error message.

[ustk]

That is what I thought at first but here's what I got:

[d.healey]

@ustk Oh, yeah add the VST2 sdk to the SDK folder as Lindon suggested and that should go away. Seems like it's a bug because when you enable VST3 export I would have thought this message would be suppressed.

[ustk]

Ok so I found a way to at least not to have this error message, but it didn't work with VST2 SDK but by decompressing the sdk.zip, which have a VST3 SDK folder...

But when compiling, here's what I get:

And when going into the juce_VST3Headers.h file, it is apparently a version issue, because I don't have base/source/flock.cppfile anywhere:

[d.healey]

@ustk Actually the VST3 SDK folder is the VST2.4 SDK ;)

I'm not sure about the flock.cpp thing

[ustk]

@d-healey said in VST export failed:

@ustk Actually the VST3 SDK folder is the VST2.4 SDK ;)

Yep you're right, but since there is also a VST2 folder that exists I want to make it clearer...

@Christoph-Hart any thought about this VST3 problem that persists?

[ustk]

Also, do we need to recompile Hise every time we change something in the SDK folder?

[d.healey]

@ustk No

[ulrik]

@ustk That is exactly what I get as well when trying to compile for VST3, if disabling VST3 it compiles fine.

[ustk]

Bump Bump

@ustk @ulrik
Actually Since Hise uses VST3 SDK, I am using that and I can compile both vst2 & vst3 plugins without any issues with this sdk. This is my folder structure - download the sdk and rename it like that;

VST 3 SDK Version 3.6.6

[Dan Korneff]

I have not been able to successfully compile vst3 either

[orange]

@dustbro Are you getting a warning while compiling? Or the host doesn't detect vst3?
It works on both mac and pc. Vst3 works.

Sometimes if you have multiple vst versions for one plugin (like vst2 & vst3), some hosts are very picky. Especially Studio One. It sees only vst2, not vst3 for me. But I didn't see a problem in Ableton, Reaper and Cubase about detecting vst3 plugins.

[Dan Korneff]

@orange I'm getting the flock.cpp thing

@dustbro Which sdk version?
I am using VST 3 SDK Version 3.6.6, you can download it and try.

[d.healey]

@orange According to the first link I posted

You need to update to VST 3.6.7

[ulrik]

@orange I have the same structure as you, and the latest VST3 SDK downloaded today from Steinberg developer and Hise still don't want to compile a VST3 plugin...strange :(

[ustk]

Downloaded the last VST3 SDK.
I placed the VST3_SDK in the SDK folder and renamed it without the underscore
I don't have the VST SDK missing error anymore, but know here I am:

In any case, I thought @Christoph-Hart said the VST3 SDK is already in Hise so we don't have to worry about that...
But either with or without, it doesn't work...
Apparently the guy who don't have issue exporting their plugin are apparently not on macOS isn't it?
@ulrik are you a mac user?

[ustk]

Maybe a flag in the Projucer?
