Is it Mandatory to Build Hise or Can I use the precompiled binaries for Exporting?

[Mwins]

Hello, I am new to Hise. What a wonderful tool! Thank you!

I have downloaded a precompiled binary of Hise. I have also downloaded the source files and set the hise path to the proper location... In my case HISE-2.0.0/HISE. I also have Visual studio 2017 and Projucer 6 installed in addition to the VST SDK and the ASIO SDK (placed in the tools/sdk folder within the HISE source folder)

I am able to build out a plugin and go through the exporting process. However, I am not sure if I am getting an error on export because I did not build HISE in Visual Studio 2017 or not.

Any help on what I need to do to properly export my VSTi would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Here is my export log...

You don't need to build HISE, but by building HISE successfully you create a setup that should make it less likely you'll get errors when you export. This is because you'll get and fix the errors while you build HISE instead also you'll get a newer version of HISE with the latest features (and bugs).

All of those errors are because you don't have the intel performance primitives installed. You only need to install these if you are using the convolution reverb or some of the analyzer modes. If you're not using them you can just disable the IPP in your project's preferences and your export should work.

Yes! That worked. I appreciate the quick response too.
