Seems like a lot of plugins come with a VST3 option these days.

@ustk Can you compile Windows VST3?

[ustk]

@d-healey Never tried to compile on windows, just used Hise. If nobody can I'll have a go…

[hisefilo]

@ustk @d-healey IMPORTANT: Windows compilation should be done on Hise 30Jan2020 or newer regarding some nodes not present on previous versions!!!

[hisefilo]

Mac installer done. and pushed (sorry GIT)

[ustk]

Side question, isn't Visual Studio free?
I'm trying to compile and VS2017 complains with a 30 days evaluation expired...
But a free online version is VS2019, which is, afaik, not good for compiling Hise right?

[d.healey]

Yes it should be available for free. Maybe Microsoft have issued an automatic downgrade to get people to use the newer version.

I use this program to get around time limits on some apps, might work with VS too.

[ustk]

@d-healey Cool, testing...

[ustk]

@d-healey Well, unfortunately it does not work...

[hisefilo]

@ustk I can compile Win if needed

[ustk]

@d-healey Can you please try to launch it with a Juce file? The message appears as soon as I place the cursor to select the architecture

[ustk]

@hisefilo Yep sure, I was just trying for compiling a VST3, so anyway I will need to make it to work sometime for myself

[ustk]

@d-healey Ok... Hmm... Well... Where to begin... I just had to log myself in

[ustk]

@hisefilo @d-healey Ok guys I abort compiling VST3 on windows for the moment, so we'll do without.
I can't compile Hise anymore (Dave's branch)

[d.healey]

@ustk Should I compile the Windows VST2?

[hisefilo]

@d-healey yes please :) I'm having a hard time trying to figure out Inno

[ustk]

@d-healey Yep, VST2 will be sufficient, we can add VST3 later anyway :)

[d.healey]

I'm going to add build scripts to the repo for Windows and GNU/Linux. I'd usually do the same for Mac but I haven't set it up yet for VST3 or notarizing. It's best not to put the installers in the repo as they are quite large. When we're ready for release we should tag a release in git and add the installers a downloadable files. This way it will show up in the releases tab and be really easy for users to find the latest version without having to look through the repo.

Have a few product photos.
Now working on a 30-40 sec animation .

Actually I've realised it's easier for us to test if the installers are in the repo as well, but we should still make a tagged release for users. I'm pushing the Windows installer now. I built this on my mac and I rarely use Windows so please test and let me know if I got everything right.
