AAX Build Fail, Windows

[DanH]

Hi guys, getting this build fail in case anyone recognises it. I built the aax sdk with VS2022, even though they only supply a VS2017 project. It wouldn't build with VS2017. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade the project when building in 2022, I said yes. Any ideas let me know! Cheers

@DanH I built without upgrading and it seems to be working here. Give that a try and see if anything changes.

@Dan-Korneff will do , thanks!

@Dan-Korneff hmmmm. I get this error now in both VS2017 and VS2022 when trying to build the AAX library (no upgrade in 2022). Feels like I've buggered up VS2017 when installing VS2022 and the new ipp/OneAPI.

@DanH It's not as bad as you think. You just need to install the 10.0.16299 SDK for VS2017

[DanH]

@Dan-Korneff I think it's already installed.

So I went back to building the AAX library with VS2022, as this is what I built HISE with and what I export my plugins with.

It seems happy enough until I now hit a bunch of mismatch errors. Searching on google isn't giving me loads of joy.

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	LNK2038	mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MT_StaticRelease' in include_juce_audio_plugin_client_AAX.obj	HALO-2_AAX	D:\HALO-2-LAYOUT\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2022\AAXLibrary_x64.lib(AAX_CEffectParameters.obj)	1

@DanH I've rebuilt the AAX library with MT selected. Trying again now

[DanH]

@Dan-Korneff ok I've built something! In Binaries/Compiled I have a file with an .axxdll extension. It this correct? Is that a normal AAX extension on windows?

you should also see something called: .aaxplugin

• it may appear as a folder....

This is in fact your shipable/ notarizable product.

@Lindon yes found that too. Ok great, hopefully that's done!

Cheers mate
