Problem compiling with AAX

Lindon

OK so I tried again and now its failing to build in VS2017.. hang on I'll look for the problem.

Lindon

now I'm getting a whole bunch of these :

c:\users\lindon\desktop\hise-scriptnode\tools\sdk\aax_sdk_2p2p2\interfaces\aax.h(219): error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated (compiling source file ....\source\AAX_CACFUnknown.cpp)

Lindon

@Lindon said in Problem compiling with AAX:

warning treated as error

So the solution to this was to turn OFF treat warnings as errors in VS 2017:

to do that:

right click your project in VS 2017 (in this case AAXlibrary),
select properties
Select C++/General
Set: Treat warnings as errors to No

This is Avid not updating their lib past VS2013.....

Thanks for your help @orange

Lindon

@Lindon OK so I seem to have

HISE-scriptnode\tools\SDK\AAX\Libs\Release\AAXLibrary_x64.lib

which I think is whats needed from the AAX side of things, but I'm getting these (same) errors)...

c:\users\lindon\desktop\hise-scriptnode\juce\modules\juce_audio_plugin_client\a
ax\juce_aax_wrapper.cpp(56): error C2065: 'AAX_SDK_2p3p0_REVISION': undeclared

ork\Shapiro\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2017\Shapiro_AAX.vcxproj]

Perhaps I'm using too late a version of the AAX SDK?

For sure AAX_IDescriptionHost.h is nowhere in any path I can see....

orange

@Lindon hmm, it looks something different.

Lindon

@orange yeah ...time to call..

@Christoph-Hart any ideas?

Dan Korneff

Hey guys,
I slightly remember this issue... think I posted about it. try using an older AAX sdk

orange

@dustbro Yeah you are right.

My version: AAX SDK 2.3.1

Lindon

@orange said in Problem compiling with AAX:

@dustbro Yeah you are right.

My version: AAX SDK 2.3.1

OK so where would I get an AAX SDK that works with HISE? - it sure aint Avid.

I have 3 versions of AAX SDK from 2.2.2 to 2.3.2 in my account including the 2.3.1 version. Just available in my toolkits and downloads, so I expect it to be same for you? Avid usually gives few versions...Hope that helps

Lindon

@VHO you entirely correct, silly me for missing them over on the right side of the page..

so I downloaded V2.3.1 (the same as @orange) and compiled it - I got a .lib file fine, then I went into HISE and tried to compile a plug-in now I get these errors:

@Lindon yeah, this is the exact same problem I had in another post. Here's the soloution:

This error can occur when you are statically linking your project with a library (typically a file with .lib extension) but the linker setting in your Visual Studio project are set to dynamically link (meaning the link will occur during runtime, usually with a .dll file).
To define that you need the project to use static linking start Visual Studio. In the Solution Explorer pane, right click the project name, and select Properties. Expand the properties as shown in the figure below: C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Runtime Library, select the Multi-threaded (/MT) option from the dropdown menu.

Lindon

@dustbro thanks Dan, to be clear I need to do this when I'm compiling the AAX plugin?

Dan Korneff

@Lindon correct. You'll need to open the AAX solution in visual studio to make this change I believe. It's been a few minutes since I've compiled AAX

Lindon

@dustbro -- hey success! Thanks mate, I owe you one.

Now on to the xcode implementation......

ustk

@Lindon cool you've done it!
I just did on macOS yesterday and it works with no complication... Except that I didn't know the folder should be renamed "AAX", not "AAX SDK"...

Lindon

@ustk great, so just rename the folder AAX and select the xcode project - load it - build it and its done yes?

ustk

@Lindon That worked for me ;)

Dan Korneff

@Lindon yay!!!!!

I'm just exploring AAX now. Do I understand correctly that you get the SDK for evaluation purposes only and you have to ask AVID for approval before you're allowed to release anything commercially?

They want a decent amount of info! I don't think I'd be approved given that I license everything under GNU GPL.
