plugin object folder | Getting Started with ASPiK | Forum

Well, not sure of the red error sea - a printout would help. But there are some issues to understand:

1) you use DemoCustomViews project directly; you don't need to create a new project and then copy the files into it. You just need to edit the CMakeLists.txt file as per the readme.txt file in the WithFFT or WithoutFFT subfolders (guessing you already knew that, just being complete)

2) None of the Demo projects use the fxobjects files, so none of them have a PluginObjects folder (this is actually because of GitHub's dealing with empty folders and the fact that these demos are supposed to be the simplest, most stripped down projects available for the least confusion for plugin newbies)

3) the fxobjects.h and .cpp files are not technically part of ASPiK, which is just the framework. They are actually part of the 2nd Ed FX book and part of my teaching software called RackAFX. They are free to use and there is no license. However, due to input from many engineers, I decided to keep them separated from ASPiK because they have their own design pattern and I don't want anyone thinking that pattern is part of ASPiK or must be used in ASPiK -- this is a common, but incorrect assumption among my students.

You do not get them automatically installed with ASPiKreator, but the PluginObjects folder is created for you if you want to populate it with these files, or any other 3rd party object files.

The link for you to download the fxobjects.zip package is at the top of the ASPiK documentation for the various FX objects and classes.

and is here:

There are 3 files inside, just dump them into your PluginObjects folder and then add them to your Visual Studio or Xcode project in the usual fashion.

That should get you up and running.

Hi Jim

There is nothing in ASPiK that dictates where your objects reside but I do add the PluginObjects to the include file path list in both Visual Studio and Xcode, so if you manually add this folder, VS and Xcode should automatically find it and when you #include, you won't need extra folders or a full path.

I think you are having a folder issue. If you place your C++ objects in the PluginKernel folder, then you can add it to VS (Right-click and Add -> Existing Item, then find the files). If you want to make your own  custom folder, you can do that too but will need to either add a path to the VS properties, or #include the full path.

LMK if you still have problems.

Please note that I just released a new and updated fxobjects.zip package today (5/20/2020). See the post here for more information:
