@d-healey still seems to be hanging on 299 of 302 steps :(

How long did you wait?

Adam_G

@d-healey its still running right now

d.healey

@Adam_G Yeah that's not right

Adam_G

@d-healey i shut it down, but now im struggling to complete the process in visual studio as the instructions are for xcode. i can compile the .vcxproj but i cant see where to set the daw to open it with

Christoph Hart

@Adam_G VS Menu -> Project -> Properties (last item) -> Debugging -> Command -> Browse.

Adam_G

@Christoph-Hart thank you! on windows vsts dont compile directly to the vst folder. do i need to set that for my working directory ? im using Reaper and the vst isnt showing up when i start debugging

Adam_G

anybody out there familiar with debugging in visual studio?

d.healey

This should get you started (it's what I used)

@d-healey thank you very much

Adam_G

i think i managed to make it work thanks to everyones help. no crash in reaper but i replicated it in FL studio. is this what im after?

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFD4CA49F35 (myVST.vst3) in FL64.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Christoph Hart

@Adam_G No it seems that you're still using the release build in FL Studio - it should break in MSVS with the exact line that causes the crash. Make sure you load the correct plugin version (it should have a Debug postfix).

Adam_G

@Christoph-Hart hmm i compiled the vst with the debug version of hise standalone. i must be missing a step, ill try again

Christoph Hart

@Adam_G no you must compile the plugin as debug build from within VS. Open the solution you‘ve creates after exporting from HISE, then switch the configuration to Debug and build.
