I can build app, VST2, and VST3 but the AAX version fails. I downloaded the AAX\_SDK (AAX\_SDK\_2p2p2) and put the contents of the AAX\_SDK\_2p2p2 folder in iPlug2\Dependencies\IPlug\AAX\_SDK. Can someone who has successfully built an AAX version help me out here? Obviously something wrong with how AAX\_SDK is installed. When I build the IPlugEffect solution (with VC++ Community 2019) I get the following errors 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(147,44): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(155,123): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(156,49): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(157,111): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(158,40): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.cpp(19,10): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘AAX\_Exception.h’: No such file or directory 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(147,44): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(155,123): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(156,49): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(157,111): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Parameters.h(158,40): error C3646: ‘AAX\_OVERRIDE’: unknown override specifier (compiling source file …\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp) 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp(55,20): error C2065: ‘AAX\_eStemFormat\_Ambi\_1\_ACN’: undeclared identifier 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp(60,20): error C2065: ‘AAX\_eStemFormat\_Ambi\_2\_ACN’: undeclared identifier 4\>C:\Users\Quentin\Desktop\SW Development\VST Projects\iPlug2\IPlug\AAX\IPlugAAX\_Describe.cpp(62,20): error C2065: ‘AAX\_eStemFormat\_Ambi\_3\_ACN’: undeclared identifier ---

you need **AAX\_SDK\_2p3p2** ---

Thanks, Oli and thanks for an amazing piece of work this iPlug2. ---

OK, so using the correct AAX\_SDK helped but I did have to make an additional change for the aax project. In IPLugEffect Properties-\>General-\>Configfuration Type (both x32 and x64) I had to change to Static Lib from Dynamic. I didn’t check but I imagine same needs to be done in the other Example projects. ---

Well, what i mentioned is an additional step for Windows not in the Readme. The runtime lib setting was already correct after i cloned. But the Configuration Type was set to Dynamic lib and needed to be changed to static for aax. ---

The AAX library project was set to dynamic lib? ---

Yes. I’ll look at some other examples. To see how they are setup.
