      Sorry for the delay and thanks for all your soon replies! Now I'm back from work and gonna report in detail while I rerun the whole process…

      I opened my last .hip-file which contains a sampler with some knobs. I go Export -> Export as Instrument (VSTi/AUi) Plugin. I'm then asked whether I want to validate all samples. My answer is yes. I choose Exportformat VSTi only, hit OK. Now I'm asked for whether I want to rewrite the batch file for the compile process. Though I don't know what it means, I think it sounds good, so OK. Now Terminal is opening up and does its duty. Process runs a few seconds and finishes saying …completed, but reporting one error:

      xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
      logout
      Saving session...
      ...copying shared history...
      ...saving history...truncating history files...
      ...completed.
      Deleting expired sessions...none found.
      

      Now I have this empty .vst-thingie you can see in the screenshot:
      Bildschirmfoto 2023-02-20 um 19.43.14.png

      I'm working on the HISE version i got from Download Latest Version on the HISE site. Later on, I also downloaded the .zip-file from github. IIRC, the path to this had to be set in the HISE apps preferences to even make the compile process be able to run.

      That's all I can tell o far.

      On a side note: Within HISE my Instrument runs pretty well – can't wait to use it in my DAW 😊

        @Frankbeat Firstly, build HISE from source, use the develop branch. Once you can build HISE you can "export" from HISE.

        When you "export" from HISE what really happens is HISE creates a JUCE project to build your VSTI/Au/Standalone, etc.

        It also creates a batch script (that's the one it asked you if you wanted to rewrite). All this batch script does is resave the jucer project with Projucer and compile the project in Xcode. These are the same steps you must do manually to compile HISE.

        The xcode select error has come up a few times before on the forum. A quick search returns this: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/3163/having-trouble-export-an-aui/8?_=1676919784285

          Firstly, build HISE from source, use the develop branch…What does that mean? Can you explain this for a newbie?

          I got rid of that xcode-error now by reading that thread you linked. And now I have the Projucer running that autogenerated file and disabled ipp. I ran Save and Open in IDE so it opened up Xcode. It presents a window listing some errors, as seen in the screenshot tewermwep.png

            @Frankbeat Not at my computer right now but if you go to my YouTube channel I have a video showing how to build HISE on MacOS

              @d-healey Thanks! I just watched Building HISE on MacOS Mojave 2019 and think I'm now starting to grasp what compiling is. Good you mentioned the IPP. This evening I will delete my prepackaged HISE and build new from source.

                @Frankbeat I can't remember what I said about IPP in that video. But don't use it, it isn't needed on Mac.

                  @d-healey You said something like you wouldn't know why to not include it (but probably in the context of building on Windows, I guess). So I'd just have to disable the option within the Projucer, right?

                    @Frankbeat I think in the develop branch it is disabled by default on MacOS, but if it isn't you should do that.

                    I think back when I made that video the advice was to use IPP on Windows and MacOS, but since then the advice is only use it on Windows (and Linux if you want).

                        Tried to build HISE from source but it just fails with 6 errors reported. I have no clue what to do. Googeling for these offers results of StackExchange. To be honest, I don't understand what these guys there are talking about.

                          @Frankbeat How many copies of the HISE source code do you have on your system?

                            @d-healey I (still) have the precompiled App in my Aplications Folder which says Version 3.0.0. And then I have this mentioned source folder HISE-3.0.1 in my Downloads folder.

                            What I already did on advice from Projucer: I Updated the JUCE-version which put the current one into a folder old_JUCE

                              This might have caused a problem. Everything you need is in the HISE source folder. If Projucer gives you any popups click the button to tell it not to bother you again.

                              Start over. Delete everything. Download the develop branch (use git if you know how, if not download the zip).

                                @d-healey Okay, I deleted it and unpacked the fresh HISE-3.0.1.zip again. But still all the mentioned Errors are being reported. Is it even right for me to use this latest version, as long as I'm still on Mojave (10.14.6)?

                                  @Frankbeat Yes you can use the latest version on Mojave. Can you provide a step by step list of what you're doing?

                                  BTW you're not using the right source code, it should be the develop branch not 3.0.1.zip

                                    @d-healey Wow… now I've got it built without any errors (just 4 warnings).

                                    Today I'm sitting on a fresh Mac with Mojave 10.14.6 with XCode 10.3. This time, my HISE folder is called hise-master. I guess that's the one you meant by develop branch…
                                    I installed the ASIO and VST SDKs and CPretty.

                                    Unfortunately, my VST build failed again, but only reporting 1 error this time:

                                    The following build commands failed:

                                    Fortunately, I found a forum thread concerning this.

                                      You've downloaded the master branch instead of the develop. Don't worry, it's fine, you just don't have the latest version.

                                      I installed the ASIO and VST SDKs

                                      What do you mean by "installed"? Also you don't need ASIO on MacOS.

                                        @d-healey Finally, a VST was created.

                                        Thank you very much for your patience with me! This was big progress that saved me from getting frustrated.

                                        My Instrument is not that sophisticated yet so time has come to reinvestigate the HISE UI. Somehow, I don't remember how the GUI-elements from Interface designer get to the Code Editor. In one of your videos you were clicking a green swoosh icon in the tool bar but I don't have that thing showing up.
