Updating to the latest HISE 3.0.3 build failure

TNTHM

I am updating HISE to the latest version (3.0.3). I would like to build it for Mac with Intel i7 chip.

I am getting this error

Showing Recent Issues
Ignoring file ../../../../tools/faust/fakelib/libfaust.a, building for macOS-x86_64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-arm64

I am on a Mac Intel i7, 2020.
Mac OS 12.1, Monterey.
I am compiling the latest HISE git source code, 3.0.3.
I am using JUCE v6.1.4 (which comes with 3.0.3 source code).
I am using Xcode 13.4.1.

Under Architectures in Xcode it shows
Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel) - $(ARCHS_STANDARD)

Under Excluded Architectures it shows
i386 arm64 arm64e

How can I fix this issue?

@TNTHM - its in the error message, you are attempting to build an Arm64 build whilst using a faust library for x86 ( or re-looking at your error - maybe the other way round)

-- so you should install the correct Faust for your operating system/CPU
-- then set your HISE build target to also be for your OS/CPU

TNTHM

@Lindon That makes sense. I believe it is the other way around, yes. I am trying to build for x86 and the faust/fakelib/libfaust.a file that I downloaded in the 3.0.3 clone is arm64 architecture. Though, I don't know enough to say for sure that this is the case.

I don't want to use Faust, but the placeholder libfaust.a file is giving me an error when compiling.

Lindon

@TNTHM - then compile for HISE alone not HISE with Faust

TNTHM

@Lindon When I compile for HISE alone is when I get the fatal error:

Showing Recent Issues
Ignoring file ../../../../tools/faust/fakelib/libfaust.a, building for macOS-x86_64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-arm64

I tried removing the line

../../../../tools/faust/fakelib

in the Extra Library Search Paths in the JUCE project under Exporters >Xcode (OS) > Release, but it causes a different fatal error.

@TNTHM Did you clean the build folder in between?

TNTHM

@d-healey I did. In Xcode I went to

Product > Clean Build Folder

This is the correct way to clean the build folder, right?

When error persisted I dowloaded a fresh copy of the HISE source code and tried to compile again. The results are the same as before.

Yes

When error persisted I dowloaded a fresh copy of the HISE source code and tried to compile again. The results are the same as before.

Walk us through every step you're doing.

TNTHM

@d-healey Sure thing.

Download source code

Navigate to the folder
/Users/[My name]/Desktop/HISE-master/tools/SDK

Open zip

Place VST3 SDK and ASIOSDK2.3 files in the SDK folder

Navigate to
/Users/[My name]/Desktop/HISE-master/projects/standalone

Open the file HISE Standalone.jucer

Enable GPLv3 in JUCE

JUCE gives a warning
"The path to your JUCE folder is incorrect"
Set path to JUCE folder as
/Users/[My Name]/Documents/HISE/HISE-3.0.3/JUCE/modules
The warning is still there but the path should be correct, I think.

JUCE prompts that a new version is available to download.

Building proceeds fine and then gets stick at 155/160
There are 70 yellow warnings through the build process and 1 red error that causes the build process to fail.

I also tried replacing the libfaust.a file with a blank file which did not work.

First, let's ensure that you have followed the correct update procedure. Double-check the documentation or release notes provided by the HISE developers to ensure that you're following the recommended update process. It's possible that there are specific instructions or prerequisites that need to be addressed before the update can be successfully installed. For more information Click Here

@parker01 wow these bots are getting really good.....

Download source code

Navigate to the folder
/Users/[My name]/Desktop/HISE-master/tools/SDK

This tells me that you have downloaded the master branch and not the develop branch.

TNTHM

@d-healey I noticed that there were two but didn't understand the difference. I take it I need the developer. What is the master for and what is the developer for?

d.healey

@TNTHM If you click the branches link on the github page you'll see all of the current branches and when they were last updated. Generally you should probably always use the develop branch unless you want to use another branch for a specific reason.

The master branch is always out of date but it represents a stable snapshot of the source code.

I recommend you learn how to use git to manage different HISE versions.

TNTHM

@d-healey I see. I will, thank you for linking the video!

TNTHM

@d-healey I watched your video and I understand git and version control now and how to make sure you get the right version. That was really helpful, thank you.

I am still getting an error on compiling, here is the full error message:

I deleted all other copies of the source code from my system.
Is there anything I can try to fix the error?

d.healey

@TNTHM Are you sure you are building the correct thing?

You should be building just the Release option, not the Release with Faust.

TNTHM

@d-healey Good to double check. I am building release, yes.

TNTHM

@d-healey In the release notes for How to use Faust on macOS:

"Integrating Faust on macOS is a bit special because (for now) we're running HISE under Rosetta so we need to use the x86 Faust libraries"

I looked up Rosetta and it says that it is an interpreter program for Intel x64 architecture to communicate with arm64 architecture. If I am compiling for x64 architecture do I possibly need to run the compiler without Rosetta?

d.healey

@TNTHM

Run this script. It will download the latest develop branch to your desktop and build HISE.
