ARM/Intel Universal Binary... how?

[Christoph Hart]

Yeah you don‘t need IPP on M1s anyway, the apple stuff is fast enough.

agreed... but I'm trying to create a Universal Binary on my M1 that can utilize IPP on x64 intel processors

[d.healey]

@dustbro You'll have to create a separate binary for Intel (presumably on an Intel machine) or live without IPP.

Maybe not? Checking out the ARM compiled plugin with a convolution plugin is giving me warnings in debug mode.

[Christoph Hart]

How big is the IR?

[Dan Korneff]

@Christoph-Hart 1.7mb

[Christoph Hart]

Hmm, that's reasonable. Are you actually hitting dropouts? because the debug log warnings are very verbose and a occasional peak of 10% CPU usage isn't too critical.

[Dan Korneff]

@Christoph-Hart good question. Gonna do more testing today

So it is impossible to make an IPP enabled universal binary (both for M1 & Intel) with a M1 mac, right?

But we can do that with an intel mac?

[Dan Korneff]

@orange I'm not sure. I gotta fire up my Intel Mac and see what's up. Also ran into some weirdness with Packages on my M1 so it looks like I gotta make my installers with the intel mac as well.

[orange]

@dustbro It's interesting that VST3 files (turns into folders) can be a problem with Packages in M1 macs.

[orange]

@dustbro Have you checked M1 universal binary inside the Intel mac?

Is develop branch successful for M1?

I haven't yet. I'll probably be ready to do more testing in about a week.

I hope we will soon be able to use XCode 12.2 to 12.4 from non OS11 compatible machines, so we can export Universal Binaries from Intel.
Otherwise, the only solution would be to buy an OS11 computer (with or without M1, but you know how it is...)

[arminh]

@dustbro hey, which new_layout commit you use because I can't force my setup to even compile app

[Dan Korneff]

@arminh the one from about 10 days ago

[arminh]

@dustbro I'm out of ideas ...

I tried compile this commit

https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/tree/27a94f3e11615fcfa793a9ec58ac531a75de5c7f

But I'm getting a lot of issues

[orange]

@arminh

Is it M1 or Intel mac?
Which XCode version are you using?
IPP enabled?

[arminh]

@orange

M1, Xcode 13, IPP enabled

[Dan Korneff]

@arminh said in ARM/Intel Universal Binary... how?:

IPP enabled

Build with IPP disabled
