Incomplete/invalid instructions (Windows)

[aidv]

The instructions are a little confusing and seem to be incomplete. I followed exactly what you have stated on your repo.

For example you write "Download and install JUCE". Download from website or from repo? Install where? In C:? In root of where spleeterpp and vstSpleeter resided? Anywhere?

On Building instruction point one you say "replace Xcode with ""Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ".
What Xcode? Do you mean -GXcode? Where?

Your JUCER project VS2017 export contains a reference to VST3 SDK, something you did not mention in your instructions.

Right out the box I was presented with the following errors upon building in Release mode in VS2017:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '....\external\spleeterpp\lib\spleeter_filter.lib'
and
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'spleeter_filter/filter.h': No such file or directory (compiling source file ....\Source\PluginProcessor.cpp

I'm looking at the VS2017 export settings and I can see that all paths in External Compiler Flags and External Libraries to Link point towards ../../external/spleeter/lib and ../../external/spleeter/include,
however, when I check those paths, only "lib" exists and it only has the file "tensorflow.lib".

Edit:

Yeah, this isn't working for me.

@gvne library works but doesn't have the 16kHz models, and @diracdeltas doesn't properly install all things where they should be.

I'm so confused.

"Download and install JUCE". Download from website or from repo?

website, just download it i guess. no need to install. i copied this from gvne's original instructions.

Do you mean -GXcode?

yes, that's the only occurence of 'Xcode' in the command

Your JUCER project VS2017 export contains a reference to VST3 SDK, something you did not mention in your instructions.

you can delete this part - it shouldn't be needed. i just did it to make sure it was using the expected version of the sdk.

however, when I check those paths, only "lib" exists and it only has the file "tensorflow.lib".

hmm that sounds like maybe your spleeterpp build didn't complete correctly? it should have built several files like tensorflow.lib, spleeter_filter.lib, artff.lib, etc.

Nice. Nice. And Nice.

The last part is what I get stuck with really. I'm thinking of trying to build it in a fresh VM to see if I get different results.

Hey guys, I know this is super old but I’m trying to recompile a version of this Spleeter VST as an AudioUnit plug-in so I can run it on iPad, and I saw you were also running into the same compile errors that I’m now facing. I just wondered whether any of you ever managed to figure out a solution?
