Cannot Compile HISE Project on macOS

[lijas90]

Hi, I'm trying to set up HISE on Mac, and when I try to compile I get this error:

▸ Compiling include_hi_tools_03.cpp

❌  fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]

▸ Compiling include_hi_tools_02.cpp
▸ Compiling include_hi_tools_01.cpp
▸ Compiling include_hi_snex_62.cpp
▸ Compiling include_hi_snex.mm
▸ Compiling include_hi_scripting_04.cpp
** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
	CompileC /Users/carloslijo/Documents/HISE\ Projects/Pruebas/Binaries/Builds/MacOSX/build/Pruebas.build/Release/Pruebas\ -\ App.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/include_hi_tools_03.o /Users/carloslijo/Documents/HISE\ Projects/Pruebas/Binaries/JuceLibraryCode/include_hi_tools_03.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'Pruebas - App' from project 'Pruebas')
(1 failure)

I guess it has something to do with this module include_hi_tools, but I don’t know how to fix it. My Mac is OS Sequoia 15.5, I’ve already installed Xcode and configured JUCE, and I’m not sure if it’s some missing configuration or if I might have changed something. Can someone help me?

@lijas90 Have you compiled HISE?

[lijas90]

@d-healeyI guess to compile HISE I should do it from JUCE, right? When I open it from Xcode I get a ton of errors. Sorry for my ignorance.

@lijas90 Self-promotion but you should take a look at my free HISE Bootcamp course, it covers all of this stuff:

@d-healeyThank you very much for sharing it. I have already done everything exactly as shown in the compilation video for Mac (skipping the Faust part), but when I try to compile HISE with Debug configuration, I get all these errors. I’m using Xcode 15.5, which I think is the one I need according to my OS. Thank you very much.

@lijas90Now I’m noticing that the most repeated error is: Use of undeclared identifier 'FaustTokeniser'; did you mean 'LuaTokeniser'? Maybe I should check if Faust is installed?

[d.healey]

@lijas90 Did you clean the build before compiling?

[lijas90]

@d-healey
With 'build clean', right? It cleans it, but not entirely, and when you recompile, the errors still appear.

[d.healey]

@lijas90 I think it's in the "Product" menu in xcode, probably something like clean solution, I can't remember exactly.

But I suspect that isn't the issue. Can you make a video showing the exact steps you're doing?

[lijas90]

@d-healeySorry, I'm using Xcode 26 Beta and Sequoia 15.5.

@d-healeyOk, I think I know where the problem is. I hadn’t downloaded the Apple Silicon version of Xcode. I’m still having some issues but I’m making progress. Thanks, David!
