Issues Building with CMake | CMake & AAX/AU/VST Exporting | Forum

Hi!

 

I'm running Windows 10, RackAFX 3.9.2.0 and installed the VST3 SDK today (so I assume I'm on the latest version).

I've run into some issues trying to build my project with CMake. When I run "cmake -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ../", I get the following dump:

See also "C:/Users/tm659/Desktop/vstsdk3612_03_12_2018_build_67/VST_SDK/VST3_SDK/myprojects/patience/win_build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

 

It would appear that SMTG_VST3_TARGET_PATH is not set somehow, so STREQUAL receives nothing as a left argument.

Note: The CMakeOutput.log file only shows successful builds of temporary files for me.

 

I tried removing that error check in the CMake file, but without proper configuration the build fails due to missing files:

Could anyone please help me out with this?
