Hey there,
So I am looking at the error messages produced by the build scripts for VST plugins and really can’t understand the lack of interest in reporting exactly what the error and cause are.
One example is the famous "MSB3073 The command “set local”, giving absolutely no clue as to the reason for error (which is that build scripts are set up by default to try and create a plugin link, which in turn is by default impossible on windows as the user doesn’t have permissions to do this).
It seems this error doesn’t only happen when there is a problem with creating plugin link. I am now getting "MSB3073 The command “set local”, along with another cryptic message
“Error =>Parameter 005 (id=5): defaultValue is not normalized!!!”
There is no file name or line number associated with this error. There is no “defaultValue” anywhere in my project. In the plugin, parameter 5 is normalised and exactly in the same way as are all other parameters.
I am not sure where to begin to work out why is it not building.
May I suggest prioritising SDK usability for a tick or two? It would save a lot of time for a lot of people.
