What are the Steinberg SDKs and folder names?

[clevername27]

Which of the Steinberg SDKs are required to be in /Tools/SDK, and what names does HISE expect the uncompressed folders to be named? Thank you.

@clevername27 Just uncompress them and you are good to go.

This is for Windows but same applies on Mac

@clevername27 the Asio and VST zip is already in HISE/tools/SDK you can unzip the files and delete the zip :)

@clevername27 as the others say, unzip but if you're on Mac OS the unzipped folder will stay in a folder named "sdk", be sure to place the VST and Asio folder on the same level as the zip file.

I don't know how it looks like on windows or linux

Thank you @d-healey , @lalalandsynth, @Straticah, @ulrik. The answer for Mac users—and this is important, as it's not in the build instructions (and as some have commented in this thread), is to use the versions included in the HISE source code. The links in the build instructions are broken, the required folder name is different, and the current SDKs posted on Steinberg's website won't work (because they are missing an old file). Thank you all for the information—I'm able to build again. Cheers!

I'm updating the doc now. How does this sound?

Extract the contents of Tools/SDK/sdk.zip. Your Tools folder should now contain ASIOSDK2.3 and VST3 SDK folders.

@d-healey That's awesome that you're on that, and so fast. I'd humbly suggest adding a note not to use the SDKs from Steinberg. I'd also suggest adding that for Mac users with an M1 should compile for X86 only. Cheers, mate.

[d.healey]

@clevername27 I've removed any mention of getting SDKs from Steinberg. I think it's better to say what to do rather than what not to do.

Mac users with an M1 should compile for X86 only

Good idea

I've made a pull request for this - https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/372

I simplified the build instructions for all three platforms. Removed references to Steinberg SDK downloads, and IPP. I also added that note about Apple Silicon builds.
