- Which version of JUCE are you using? - Are you using CMake or Projucer to generate your build files? - Are you setting a custom path to the AAX SDK when configuring the project? Recent versions of JUCE include a copy of the AAX SDK, so the easiest way to get this working is probably to update to the most recent version of JUCE, and to make sure that you’re not setting a custom AAX SDK path anywhere. ---

> [@jim1](#): > > I am also using Projucer to build the file Check that in Projucer’s “Global Paths” window, the “AAX SDK” option is empty. Then, for each Exporter you’ve configured in the Projucer’s side-bar, check that the “AAX SDK Folder” option is empty. Finally, re-save the project. ![Screenshot 2024-11-04 at 11.55.27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/3X/f/4/f4b258b2593cb51096f0b67edaab1bb54b622007.jpeg) ---

In the AAX SDK folder it comes up /Users/m/Desktop/AAX-SDK-2-5-0, When i try to empty it, It still comes up again in the box. ---

Did you check the global paths window? It’s in the Projucer or File menu, depending on which platform you’re using. ---

> [@jim1](#): > > I seem to have another error compilling using vst2 #include “pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h” file not found If you look where the error originates, there’s a comment explaining the problem: > > [@jim1](#): > > AUv3 needs deployment 10.11 or higher to compile There’s a setting for deployment target in the Xcode exporter options in the Projucer. Note that JUCE 8 as a whole only supports from macOS 10.11 onwards, so your deployment target should be 10.11 or newer anyway. ---

You must use Visual Studio on Windows in order to build plugins for Windows. ---

Sorry, I’m not able to provide debugging assistance for issues in user code. I need to focus on the JUCE code itself. If you post your program here, then other forum users may be able to help you. ---
