Build issue under Windows

[pascalc]

Hi,

I’m trying to compile Ctrlr on Windows.

I have..
* installed Visual Studio 2015
* installed JUCE under C:\devel\JUCE
* Compiled Projucer for Release
* git cloned the Ctrlr repo to c:\devel\ctrlr
* extracted the boost.zip into c:\devel\ctrlr\Boost\boost
* Installed cygwin

When I run the post_commit script in the Scripts folder I get the following errors:

"C:\devel\ctrlr\Builds\Ctrlr_Release.sln" (Rebuild target) (1) ->
"C:\devel\ctrlr\Builds\Generated\Windows\VST_2015\Ctrlr_Plugin_VST.vcxproj" (Rebuild target) (3) ->
(ClCompile target) ->

CTRLR: Win32 build failed

Looking into the c:\devel\ctrlr\Builds\VST\JuceLibraryCode\ directory these files are obviously not there. Are they supposed to be copied there during the build phase or have I missed something?

Thanks

I’m no expert but compile on Windows? I just got the exe of the latest build and ran that, it unpacked, installed and all was well. In my case Ctrlr-Win32.exe

[goodweather]

Exactly. Just take the the .exe file for Windows in the Download section and use Ctrlr… Why recompiling?

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions but I would actually like to modify the source code of the core parts of Ctrlr. Not only a panel. So I need to rebuild Ctrlr from the sources.

I’ll get back to you this weekend with a fix for the build, i’m getting back to coding Ctrlr again, and i will find a fix. If you can contribute your code on github that would be great any help/fixes/patches/features are welcome.

[pascalc]

Thanks Atom,

If I manage to create anything valuable I will push it to my fork.

Btw, please fix the doubled message output in the plugin version. I will try to mess around in the code too but as I have no experience in C++ it probably won’t be worth publishing.

all bugs on github, that are posted there will be taken into processing, so if you have something please post it there, i’ll be going through them one by one.

[pascalc]

I’ve posted the build issue there now.

Thanks!
