Idiot's guide to compile on MAC

[d.healey]

@dustbro I think you can use xCode 10 now, Christoph added a checkbox in the project preferences window to disable/enable 32bit compilation on Mac and believe it solves this problem.

Yellow stuff is me being lazy. Red stuff is you not having IPP installed ;)

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey I'm trying to compile HISE, not a project. Is there a setting in projucer that would do the same thing?

[Dan Korneff]

@christoph-hart I'm pretty sure I disabled that in the Projucer settings. Lemme check again

[Dan Korneff]

@christoph-hart It's disabled

[Christoph Hart]

Ah, you need to do this:

HISE/README.md at master · christophhart/HISE

The open source framework for sample based instruments - HISE/README.md at master · christophhart/HISE

GitHub (github.com)

Scroll down to compile on osx without IPP.

[Dan Korneff]

it's easier to install ;)

thanks!!

@christoph-hart I've ignored yelow stuff since my first attempt on Hise ;)

For XCode 8 you need xcpretty. I'm not sure it's required for XCode 10 but you might need it too.

NOt HISE specific, but I need some help compiling vstPluginHost on Mac.
I'm getting an error, but not sure where to start looking:

Updating to the latest JUCE + Projucer fixed the issue

I'm having an issue Compiling AAX on mac.... and I think it's just a permissions problem. Anyone have some tips to fix this?

I'm running latest HISE-develop plugin within Reaper.

You need admin rights to write to this directory. Make sure your user has the privilege.

Try to create a folder within this directory from the Finder.

[Dan Korneff]

@christoph-hart It appears that my account does have admin rights, and I'm able to create a folder within the Application Support folder.

[Dan Korneff]

@Christoph-Hart I've gotten a little closer, but not working yet. I've created a root account which gets me closer but I'm still encountering errors.
Build command Ld fails.

@dustbro maybe you can use chmod to change permissions on that folder? Via terminal

[Christoph Hart]

Have you tried compiling the project from within XCode? Maybe the command line call messes up the permissions.

[Dan Korneff]

@hisefilo Gonna try that now.
@Christoph-Hart Compiling directly in Xcode:

[Dan Korneff]

Finally figured out the problem. My Project Name had spaces in it. Apparently Macs don't like that? I removed the spaces and all worked as expected.
