HISE Compile fail- MacOs Catalina, XCode 12

[gorangrooves]

Hey guys,
I am trying to get HISE compiled on the latest version of Mac with no success.

I am on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, running XCode 12.0.1, using Projucer 6.0.3.

I've followed the advice on the issue addressed here, as I am getting the same error:

Re: Build fail - Semantics: "Reference to ‘Point’ is ambiguous"

I have 47 errors, half of which seem to be semantic issues: "Reference to 'Point' is ambiguous" error.

The other majority are "Apple Mach-O Librarian (libtool)" errors.

The final two are "Apple Mach-O Linker (id) Error" for both VST and AU, and semantic issue "Reference to 'AudioBuffer' is ambiguous".

I have tried compiling both the Scriptnode branch, as well as @d-healey 's Develop branch with identical issues.

I've ensured that all modules connect within the Projucer.

Am I missing something or do these errors ultimately need to be fixed in the source code before the software can be compiled on the latest version of Mac/ XCode?

p.s. Is there a setting to tell the XCode not to be a picky little dick and just compile the thing already?

Have you tried compiling with the version of JUCE/Projucer that comes with HISE? (version 5.4 I think).

[gorangrooves]

I have. I am only using newest Projucer, while JUCE is still the one supplied with HISE.

Are you compiling ok on Mac?

[d.healey]

@gorangrooves Yes, but I'm on Mojave and Projucer 5.4

You must use xcode 10.3. I would like to use newest xcode because i writing apps in react-native :/

"MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, running XCode 12.0.1"

• yep there's the problem right there I think:

[gorangrooves]

Thanks, guys. So, I assume that even though none of you are using the latest version of XCode, the plugins you compile work fine on Catalina?

Apple is about to drop a new OS on us, Big Sur. I believe we'll have to use the latest XCode eventually to make plugins compatible with this new OS. @Christoph-Hart Will you be updating the code to avoid those errors in the new XCode?

[Lindon]

@gorangrooves nothing from Apple I have read says we will neeed to move to XCode 12 - could be wrong - but yes all plugins compiled on XCode 10 work fine on Catalina - as long as you do the required codesigning and notarization.

[gorangrooves]

@Lindon Thanks. "Codesigning and notarization"- what exactly am I supposed to be doing there? Can you point me in the right direction, please?

@Lindon Thanks a lot! I shall be diving into this shortly and studying its details.

[Lindon]

@gorangrooves good luck - its a nightmare..

[gorangrooves]

@Lindon Oh great! Nothing less can be expected from Apple. Just wait 'till they drop the new OS on us....

[gorangrooves]

Do I need to go through the signing process just to test the plugins on my own system?

What happens when you don't sign them and someone tries to use them? I am sure they will get a warning, but can you bypass a warning and still use them?

[Lindon]

@gorangrooves -try googling to find out...

Happy to report that reverting to XCode 10.3 did the trick! Not only was I able to compile HISE, but my plugins as well, with no issues. YAY! Thank you all very much.
