Newbie alert : problem with NialM's Scripted GUI

General JUCE discussion
1

hey all,

I have just recently gotten into juce and really like what ive found. I came across Nial’s xml themed GUI project and thought that it sounded like just what i was after. Problem is I cant get it to build :frowning:

My setup is VC++ Express with the latest platform sdk and juce 1.23, everything works ok - i have successfully compiled a couple of smaller JUCE based apps. My guess is that either Im doing something wrong or the errors are occuring due to internal changes to juce. Below is the buildlog…

thanks in advance!

james

Ouch! That’s pretty nasty… I’d guess it’s probably down to changes in JUCE - it can be a pretty fast moving target in some respects. There’s a chance the different version of MSVC to mine would cause problems, but I don’t think there’d be that many :?:.

To be honest though, I’m not sure the code’s particularly great. I used it (modified slightly, I think) for my pedal board VST host, and came to the conclusion that the approach I took was just a bit too clunky, and that there has to be a better way (I’m thinking something like a framework where you could put your app into debug mode or something, and just drag the widgets about to place them, and bring up menus to set other properties). Having said that, I’m kind of moving away from widget-based guis now, and I don’t have much motivation to build a framework I’ll never use…
