Unable to Compile AU for Mac

[Tania Ghosh]

@nesta99 OK. Thanks

[d.healey]

You don't need to code sign anything to compile a plugin

[Sawer]

@d-healey Omd!! true. It was just a warning, sorry. my bad...

[Tania Ghosh]

@d-healey Then sir , what step do I need to follow to compile AU plugins?

[A Former User]

According to google that error code is because Xcode is trying to copy a file that doesn't exist.

Reinstalling Xcode fixed it for some people, I'm not on mac though so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@iamlamprey Windows is way easier than Mac. First I had spent 2 days to build HISE. When HISE is ready I am unable to compile AU plugins. Not even from JUCE (with out HISE only writing simple code in JUCE). @nesta99 What the * u** developer plan? VST3 /VST is free to compile where as AU for MAC is $99? Then what is the meaning of making and spending hours to develop Audio plugins for Mac AU?
At the end Team R2R or AudioUtopia will pirate it.

It doesn't cost anything to compile AU or VST, there is some problem with your build setup. Try reinstalling Xcode.

@Tania-Ghosh Make sure you have xcode installed and its command line is important. if you are using ipp check that everything is correctly installed. to export directly from hise you don't need to sign. remember to save your ID certificates and applications and especially their keys in the keychain glass. I made the mistake of creating 5 certificates of each I am blocked, I lost my keys I can no longer sign or notarize my work. and the apple support service is a real shit ^^

@d-healey Reinstalled Xcode 10. Tried 11 No luck. VST3 is being compiled but Logic Pro doesn't show it. Ableton Live Lite or Bitwig 8track shows it......... But AU......? Every time it ends up with error. Which I can't figure out. Tried google/youtube but it's Out of Sundar Pichai's knowledge ...

@yall now coming back to your guide line... As you all know I am new in MAC. I am telling briefly what have I done for AU...
My steps are------

1. Installed Xcode
   2)Xcode preference >Accounts I have put Apple ID and created Team (Personal)
   3)Installed IPP that helped by @orange and @Rudra-Ghosh
   4)Creating a project in HISE exporting AU-VST
   5)Opening JUCE and the Autogenerated.jucer
   6)Save and Open in IDE
2. Build for profile or Debug/Run (Tried everything)
3. **Boom......**error listed on top of the Images

Now guide me what am I doing wrong? For keychain stuff i don't know how to do it... Apple support is really shit.. i agree.

@Tania-Ghosh

Has to be Xcode 10.x.

Logic Pro doesn't show it.

This is a different issue. We'll tackle that later once we fix AU compiling.

2)Xcode preference >Accounts I have put Apple ID and created Team (Personal)

This has nothing to do with compiling plugins.

Can you send me the project and I'll try to compile it and see if I get the error?

[Tania Ghosh]

@d-healey Sure.. here it is .Zantophil2.zip

[d.healey]

Thanks. I just want to confirm, when you export, you are exporting as an FX plugin, not an instrument plugin, correct?

Also, why do you open the project in xcode? HISE should automatically start the export via the commandline, you shouldn't need to open Projucer or xcode. Does the command line terminal window not open for you when you export from HISE?

Yes

Exactly...commandline window opens but stops with some errors. I will post you the snapshot tomorrow. So I had to open .jucer file and generating xcode project from there.

Ok, I'll wait for your image.

[yall]

it made me the same. c is that the command tools was not the correct one for xcode

[d.healey]

@yall Yeah sounds like this could be the issue.

[yall]

@d-healey but if that's the problem I had to recompile hise. xcode10.1 + command tools 10.1

[Tania Ghosh]

@d-healey

here is the snapshot......
It's gifted by my brother @Rudra-Ghosh Macbook Air but only problem is AU not being compiled.

@Tania-Ghosh Have you installed xcpretty? You must install it too before compiling plugins.

• Download xcpretty from here https://github.com/xcpretty/xcpretty and unzip
• Open Gem file in the xcpretty download package.
• Then enter sudo gem install xcpretty command in Terminal

This should finish installing xcpretty gem files. Then retry the Hise export process, it should work.
If it doesn't work, try to compile Hise again and then export plugin.

[Tania Ghosh]

@orange Great.. I'll try any let you know. :)
