Exporting VSTi on Windows

[DanH]

@nouslou I tried building on parallels and didn't get anywhere so bought a decent pc off ebay for 80 quid and never looked back...

You can build in virtual box, I did it the other day with visual studio 2019 and the develop branch (I didn't install IPP though).

@d-healey @DanH I got it ) Thank you for your responses! But, will I be able for example to use some sort of online windows machines to build Hise and export vst? For example Azure Microsoft or similar? Or will it be the same like use a Windows through virtual box or similar app on mac os? Cause right now I'm in a country without eBay) And to get a decent windows machine will cost around 1 k minimum

No idea.

You can build HISE in Windows using virtual box on a Mac. Or you can dual boot your Mac with Windows.

Also most of those massive blocks of text you posted are warnings which you can ignore. Only if it says error do you need to be concerned.

This is the only error I saw in your post: fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space - it could be that you need to assign more RAM to your virtual machine.

How many copies of the HISE source code do you have on your system?

compiler is out of heap space
I Believe Hise Includes All Audio Files That He Finds In Audio Folder.
So Please Check That You Don't Have Unused Audio Files, Which Add Unnecessary Weight To Your DLL File.

So assigning more RAM wont help - its the compiler that is out of it defined space. So you need to use the /bigobj flag:

see these instructions:

@Lindon But this shouldn't happen when building HISE which is what the OP is trying to do (I think).

[nouslou]

@d-healey I managed to build 2 version of Hise - scriptonde_codegen_rewrite and Hise-features (one of your version). All those errors are happened when I tried to export VSTi

@nouslou

All those errors are happened when

There is only one error, all of the other stuff is warnings which you can ignore.

I tried to export VSTi

In that case do what Lindon said.

I managed to build 2 version of Hise - scriptonde_codegen_rewrite and Hise-features

If you have more than one copy of the source code on your system you will probably run into problems.

-- nope this is EXACTLY what happens when you are building HISE in my experience...I haven't been able to build a HISE version for over a year now without /bigobj

@Lindon @d-healey Soooo! After all of yours suggestions - everything work like a charm :) Thank you guys as always!!! You are amazing!
