Need help getting started with Juce and Tracktion_engine

Tracktion Engine
1

Greetings

Just having a look for the first time at Juce and Tracktion Engine on Windows 10

Started here GitHub - Tracktion/tracktion_engine: Tracktion Engine module

I have VS2022 installed
I have Juce installed
I have cloned Tracktion Engine
I have Cmake 3.25.2 installed
I have Git 2.39.2 installed
Following the process to run some examples

$ cd tests
$ ./generate_examples

No examples get created.

On the contrary the Juce examples run fine.

is there is step by step guide for installing in Windows?

OUTPUT
cmake version 3.25.2

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

Can you make sure you use the develop branch as there was a fix related to this recently on there.

Hi Dave96

Thank you for your reply, not sure what means “develop branch”. Been coding since the 80s but this is kind of something new for me.

Actually after some reading I discovered it. Just wondered why you don’t put this in the instructions as a recommendation so that others looking at it might not get put off from the outset.

$ git clone -b develop GitHub - Tracktion/tracktion_engine: Tracktion Engine module
