Trying to build with IPP

[Lindon]

Okay so I've given up on Develop for the moment and returned to master, where I'm trying to build with IPP included.

and Im still getting these linker errors

Here's what the Projucer looks like:

So I've included the paths to the .h files and the path to the lib folder with the dll etc. in there. (both directly and to its parent folder)

So what am I doing wrong? Or has any one any clue how to compile HISE in windows with IPP included?

[Christoph Hart]

@lindon Don't hassle around with manual include paths on Windows, there's a Visual studio integration for IPP that automatically adds those. If you have installed the integration, you just need to set the Projucer USE_IPP_LIBRARY flag to Single-Threaded Static Library.

@christoph-hart

Well I clearly dont have the "integration" installed for some reason as removing the extra paths fails badly not finding the ipp.h file, how do I add this integration?

[Christoph Hart]

@lindon You need to select this as an option if you install IPP (at least back when I installed it, could be that they changed this). Try uninstalling and reinstalling IPP and watch out for those juicy selectors!

[Christoph Hart]

Before you uninstall, you can check if the extension is there: If you open a VS project, goto Project -> ... Properties (last item in the list. You should see this:

@christoph-hart thanks - yeah thats definately missing....I will try re-installing IPP

Now where did I put that installer...

[Lindon]

@lindon
OKay so I reinstalled IPP and this config data is showing up, I ran another build and now I get this error:

cl : Command line error D8040: error creating or communicating with child process

I have no idea what this is....

[Lindon]

@lindon - Okay well rebooting the machine seems to have fixed that problem.....

[Lindon]

@lindon ...and we are back where we were on the 16th Dec 2020 - a working project...
