I’m trying to do what the title says.

I have the msvc toolchain selected.

after ‘juceaide’, I get these messages about ‘pthreads’

There are no output files in the release or debug folders.

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

oh… actually seems there’s nothing ‘wrong’ here. I just didn’t realize I had to actually build the correct TARGET!

vst3 seems to build ok now.

Sorry for my dumbness! Is the threads thing important? Assuming it has something to do with multi-threading, so if I wanted to make use of multi-threading in my plugin then maybe I would need it?

No, Windows has its own threading implementation that’s distinct from pthreads. The output you’re seeing is expected on Windows.

Ok, so i downloaded that pre-compiled pthreads dll for nothing then! :slight_smile:
