Build fail - Semantics: "Reference to ‘Point’ is ambiguous"

[d.healey]

@bthj said in Build fail - Semantics: "Reference to ‘Point’ is ambiguous":

I clicked the house icon and when choosing an interface size

I didn't even know you could still do that. I think it's a bug, an interface script is added by default to new projects so there should be no need for this extra step. If you don't see a default interface script go to File >> New.

How could I redefine the layout size for this project?

At the top of the interface script you can set the size Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 600)

"projects > standalone > HISE Standalone.jucer"
and
"projects > plugin > HISE.jucer"

The first one builds a standalone application, the second one builds a VST or AU plugin. 99% of the time you want the first one.

@d-healey Thanks, now I can change the size
(selecting preset sizes for different form factors under the house icon on initial project launch was interesting, even though it resulted in a crash).

Out of curiosity, what 1% use cases are there for the plugin build of HISE?

@bthj

Out of curiosity, what 1% use cases are there for the plugin build of HISE?

Two I can think of are:
Debugging a problem that only presents itself in a plugin.
Testing features that are only useful when the project is being run as a plugin.

@bthj multi channel instruments can only be built with HISE plugin version.

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey say like a drum sampler that has 24 separate audio outputs. Instruments made with standalone only have stereo output

[d.healey]

@dustbro You'll only have stereo output within HISE standalone, but your compiled project can have as many outputs as you like. Compiling always uses the same compiler no matter which build of HISE you generate the JUCE project from

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey But I think Dan is right, you can't connect the master container to the outputs unless it's running in multichannel mode (I might be wrong though and it might work miraculously - the only multichannel plugin I've done so far was with PercX and I've added some custom C++ routing code there).

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Oh I shall have to experiment

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart this is your code and it works great in the standalone Hise, this is only 6 channels but it should work for more I guess :)
