Hi everyone,

I am trying to build the authoring part of a Wwise plugin using the Python development tools. I'm following the instructions in the docs and at the ADC talk.

What I’ve done so far

1. Premake

When I premake Authoring (wp premake Authoring) I get Test2_Authoring_Windows_vc140.sln (vc140 instead of vc150).

 

2. Build

Then when I try to build Authoring (wp build Authoring Release) I get:

Building Test2 for Authoring in Release...

Building Authoring in Release using vc140. Build Command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsMSBuildCmd.bat" && msbuild.exe Test2_Authoring_Windows_vc140.sln /t:Build /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="x64" /m /verbosity:minimal

Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2018.1.4.6807\Scripts\Build\Plugins\wp.py", line 36, in <module>

    subcommand.run(sys.argv[2:])

 File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2018.1.4.6807\Scripts\Build\Plugins\build.py", line 43, in run

    res = platform_info.build.command(args.platform, args.configuration)

 File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2018.1.4.6807\Scripts\Build\Plugins\common\command\vs.py", line 106, in build

    res = subprocess.Popen(build_command).wait()

 File "C:\Users\subs\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 775, in __init__

    restore_signals, start_new_session)

 File "C:\Users\subs\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 1178, in _execute_child

    startupinfo)

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

 

As I have VS2017 installed I don't have:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsMSBuildCmd.bat

(Or its dependencies)

 

I have rather:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\Tools\VsMSBuildCmd.bat

And its dependencies

 

Am I missing a step or something in my approach? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi James,

Unfortunately, we currently do not support building for the Authoring with VS2017 (it only works with VS2015).

We will however add support for it in the near future, stay tuned!
