I can’t generate any Juce project with CMake because juceaide keeps failing to build

General JUCE discussion
1

I left this project fully funtional in December, in March I cannot build.
This is a re-occuring problem with JUCE, not the first time, rather n-th.
Every couple of months a big search why is does not work again.
Plus, AudioPluginHost is crushing.

JUCE 7.0.10, Win 10, how to make it work again?
(I had to trim the log)

at first galnce the issue is that mingw define stuff that juce redefine (and as const variable)
like
C:[path]/scoop/apps/gcc/13.2.0/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/uiautomationclient.h:1138
You could eventually add
#ifndef UIA_FullDescriptionPropertyId
around juce declaration in
modules/juce_gui_basics/native/accessibility/juce_win32_AccessibilityElement.h

I would just avoid building with GNU on Windows. Try installing MSVC (Visual Studio) or Clang.

@otristan Thank you for your quick answer, both are indeed definded in that file:

#define UIA_FullDescriptionPropertyId 30159
#define UIA_IsDialogPropertyId        30174

Changing it to:

#ifndef UIA_FullDescriptionPropertyId 30159
#ifndef UIA_IsDialogPropertyId        30174

Results in:

C:/[path]/vendor/juce/modules/juce_gui_basics/native/accessibility/juce_win32_AccessibilityElement.cpp:149:86:

... etc.

And changing it to:

#ifndef UIA_IsDialogPropertyId

similar.

@eyalamir Thanks! I have been there. In the past I went through VS, Code Blocks and as far as I remember clang as well, had all sort of issues there too. Now, for some months mingw gave me ekhm… stability. This time I do not want to switch around again, this cannot be the approach to working with juce…

5

Code blocks is an IDE. I’m only talking about the compiler. You can use any IDE you like.

The only compilers that work properly with JUCE/Windows (and most other Windows software) are MSVC and Clang.

6

This is not how #ifndef works :slight_smile:

Check a tutorial how to use it.
Given your c/c++ knowledge, it might be safer to use VS though

7

@otristan Right, hope that I am using it correct now:

	
#ifndef UIA_FullDescriptionPropertyId
#define UIA_FullDescriptionPropertyId 30159
#endif

However, errors are still the same:

 C:/[path]/vendor/juce/modules/juce_gui_basics/native/accessibility/juce_win32_ComInterfaces.h:139:12:
  error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

I hope you can see now that the second part of your comment was sort of unnecessary…

If you’re developing on Windows, the best-supported compiler is MSVC, which you can get by installing Visual Studio 2017 or later. Note that Visual Studio Code isn’t officially supported.

Microsoft also provides a version of Clang through the Visual Studio Installer. This version of Clang should be able to build JUCE without any problems. To use it, install it by selecting the optional component in the Visual Studio Installer. Then, pass -T ClangCL when configuring with CMake using one of the Visual Studio generators.

JUCE has limited support for MinGW. This is mainly provided for compatibility with the compiler bundled with CodeBlocks, but support for CodeBlocks is deprecated and will be removed in the near future. The development experience with MinGW is poor: linking takes much longer than with other toolchains, and some features simply do not work (WinRT MIDI, DirectWrite). For these reasons, I’d strongly advise against using MinGW for any new project.

Even if you run into problems with MSVC, this compiler is used much more commonly by JUCE developers, so other users will be better-equipped to help you and answer your questions.

you just need to do all the other conflicting ones

Instructing a newer user to modify JUCE sources is setting them up for pain. They may accidentally make a change that breaks their JUCE install completely, or they may run into problems next time they update JUCE and have to reapply/modify their changes. Switching to a better-supported toolchain and using unmodified JUCE sources will be more sustainable in the long-term.

OK, so I switched to VS, and does it work → no, for your default audio plugin hello world project. It builds standalone but somehow not without errors VST3 (those two are ticked). I linked Steinberg sdk vst2 in global paths vst legacy sdk, which is probably not needed, but used to be with vst3 in the past. Now, the error I am getting goes:

\Builds.…\Release\VST3\JucePlugIn.dll cannot be started.

There is a thread on it (not one):

“Install it (there’s an option in the Projucer to automatically install the plugin after building it)” - I get it, but: How? Where is it? Did I miss it?
Error code I am getting: MSB3073

However,I can see/use my vst3 plugin in the juce plugin host though and have it in \Debug\VST3\JucePlugIn.vst3\Contents\x86_64-win folder.
Why does this error come up then? Running VS as admin does not help.

This I have: (in my case it’s VS22)

@reuk I can only imagine where you would have been as a company if you had made this product accessible for new people. To me, it took 30% of time to develop what I needed and another 70% I lost setting it up (and counting). You made something great what is really hard to access. In my opinion, if not for videos like this, or matkat’s content - it would be very hard to even start using juce in the limtied time I have for the given task. Coding the vst was the easiest part, no issues here, but if I have to google around for hours to make it build again (forced move from mingw to VS), it’s eating it’s own tail. You limit your own customer base big league. Starting with JUCE or re-visiting an old project should be the easiest thing there is.

The VST2 SDK is only needed when building VST2 plugins, or VST3 plugins that are compatible with existing VST2 plugins. If you’re just building a new VST3, you probably don’t need this.

This normally happens when users attempt to run/debug the VST3 itself, which won’t work because a VST3 isn’t an executable program - it needs to run inside a host application.

To debug a VST3, you first need to make sure it’s installed correctly after building. You can either do this manually, or you can enable the “plugin copy step” as part of your build. There’s an option to enable this in the Projucer: go to Exporters → Visual Studio 2022 and click on each configuration (Debug, Release), then change the “Enable Plugin Copy Step” combo box in the settings pane for each configuration. For CMake builds you can set the option JUCE_COPY_PLUGIN_AFTER_BUILD=ON during configuration. To use the plugin copy step, you must first ensure that you have sufficient permissions to write to the install directory (C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3). It’s probably easiest to just relax the permissions of this directory.

Now, you can either build the plugin from Visual Studio (right-click the VST3 target in the sidebar and select “Build”); or you can set up the debugger to launch a host application by right-clicking the VST3 target, selecting “Properties”, “Debugging”, then specifying a host application. Now, clicking the green “play” button will build the plugin, install it, then launch the host app that you specified.
