VST3 build error: "nothing to be done for 'all'"

toxonic

In the Hise Documentation / VST3 Support is stated

Be aware that Steinberg stopped support for the VST 2.4 SDK in October 2018 so if you don't have a valid VST2 license agreement in place, you must use the VST3 SDK.

Does this mean, i have to compile the plugins in VST3 format? How to do that? When i enable VST3 support in the project settings, the makefile won't compile on linux, telling me: "Nothing to be done for 'all'"

@toxonic You only have two things to do:

Enabling the VST3 support in the preferences
Extract the sdk.zip in the tools/SDK folder so the folder structure looks like this: HISE/tools/SDK/VST3 SDK

Look at your chat messages for the zip password ;)

:-/ nope, still doesn't work, still the same error.
i already had vst3 sdk installed in the tools/SDK Folder, but the one, that was linked on hise github, which contains some more folders, but the structure is the same. nevertheless, i tried the zipped one as you adviced, but still nothing. perhaps this issue is related to another one, i once posted here in the forum:
the projucer binary, which came with hise, doesn't work on any of my linux OS, why i installed JUCE separately and use that projucer to compile hise and the plugins. the works quite well, as long as i use vst2, but with vst3 i stuck now. :-/

Well, I'm not sure, actually I had troubles in the past until I used the one that is provided in hise...

@ustk
yeah, but no luck with that, though. :-/ thank you anyway! ;-) if anybody has got a hint for me, you're welcome! :-)

This guide worked for me https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1444/vst-export-failed/82
The vst3 sdk in the juce folder works.
Are you pointing to the correct hise directory in preferences?

toxonic

Nope, still nothing. but i had a look into the makefile, to search for the word "all" and found it only once in line 151:

  $(JUCE_OBJDIR)/include_stk_wrapper_97001de8.o \

.PHONY: clean all strip

all : 



$(JUCE_OUTDIR)/$(JUCE_TARGET_SHARED_CODE) : $(OBJECTS_SHARED_CODE) $(RESOURCES)

so, i just deleted that line and tried again and it began to compile for a while until i got the error message, that i didn't enable a plugin format (but i did in the project settings):

any ideas?

PS: i now had a look into the makefile for a vst2 and found that there are the lines i posted like this:

.PHONY: clean all strip VST

all : VST

VST : $(JUCE_OUTDIR)/$(JUCE_TARGET_VST)


$(JUCE_OUTDIR)/$(JUCE_TARGET_VST) : $(OBJECTS_VST) $(RESOURCES) $(JUCE_OUTDIR)/$(JUCE_TARGET_SHARED_CODE)

could somebody tell me, how these lines should look in a vst3 makefile?

toxonic

Bump. Noone on linux here, who could tell me, how the lines 151 - 155 in a makefile for a vst3 fx plugin should look like?

I use GNU/Linux but I've never built VST3.

@toxonic I'm on mac and pc here... sorry :(

@d-healey
makes sense, since most linux DAWs don't support vst3. but it seems, that it's not allowed, to distribute vst2 plugins, if you don't have a vst2 license from steinberg, which i do not have... :-/

d.healey

Since JUCE doesn't use the Steinberg SDK headers I think you can still distribute VST2 plugins built with HISE even if you don't have a license agreement with Steinberg - https://forum.juce.com/t/juce-gpl-and-vst-sdk-license-mystery/14935/20
