Building CTRLR in VS2015

[Hawkishleader]

Hi folks, blimey this is a brilliant project – I hate searching through menus and trying to read LCDs….

I’m trying to build the latest source on Windows 10×64 using Visual Studio Community (I’d like to float some of the menus onto a 2nd screen and supe up some the long dropdowns).

VS is whinging because CtrlrRevision.h is missing – which it is, there is a .template file but my C++ isn’t up to fathoming out what to do. Has anyone any insight into how to set her up to build fully ?

I have Projucer 4.2.4 x64 installed and the boost that comes with Ctrlr.

Many thanks

This file is generated when building from scripts.

You can copy the CtrlrRevision.template file to CtrlrRevision.h and just fill some stupid data there (3 lines) it’s static data displayed in the About box nothing else.

Oh cheers Atom, you’re a life saver…

Excellent, I’ll hack around with that now.

I wanted to put the revision file in the repo but it’s always one point after the real version. But it might be a better idea to have the wrong version number then a build error.

Ah I think you have it right, confusing version numbers are a headache too.

I can’t believe how much work you’ve done since I was last on – I gave programming a break for a bit in favour of muzak – I can’t wait to get panelling again 🙂

Many thanks for your help and effort..

Great, I have Ctrlr_Plugin_VST building now.

The compiler couldn’t find CTRLR_NIGHTLY but I stuffed a dummy string in to get it working.

Also, /Zm2000 was giving me ‘out of heap space’ so I tried removing it which didn’t work, dropping off a zero did though – /Zm200. Strange, I’m running on 12Gigs of ram, ah x64 development 🙂
