Would this work?

Or any better alternatives?

Buy a non-Apple computer and put Proxmox on it. Then you can run any OS you like in a VM, compile, test, etc. You'll need a VM when you want to compile for Windows (unless you have a Windows machine).

I'm using an Intel NUC for my proxmox server, but almost any (non-Apple) computer can be used, the more CPU cores and RAM the better.

I am running HISE 3.6.2 on Sonoma. The solution in this thread works for me and I am able to successfully export plugins:

[Mors]

@Steve-Lydford I'll try it! Will i have to rebuild hise first with that version of xcode 14.3.1 before trying to export using it?

[d.healey]

@Mors No but it's probably a good idea because if HISE builds then your project should too.

[Mors]

@d-healey okay so i followed steves solution in that thread and my projects are now exporting as plugin successfully! However, I can't find the AU file? I've checked project folder - binaries - builds etc but nothing, and it's also exporting as debug?

[d.healey]

@Mors The AU has a .component file extension if that helps.

look in:

~Users/<yourname>/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components

[Mors]

@Lindon I have a .component thats showing as folder is that it? However when i move that into my plug ins folder its not showing up in ableton?

[oskarsh]

@Mors you need to move the component to the Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components folder and check that this folder is checked in Ableton and that Ableton can load .au plugins

[Mors]

@oskarsh Yep, nothing

[Steve Lydford]

It should put a shortcut to your_project_name.component in Binaries/Builds/MacOSX/build/Release

If you right-click that file in Finder and click "Show Original", it should take you to users/your_username/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

[Mors]

@Steve-Lydford not seeing an option for 'Show Origina' when i right click, and in the library folder there's nothing (unless i copy and paste it over which still doesnt work)

[d.healey]

@Steve-Lydford I think that was removed in a recent version of HISE because it was causing issues.

[Steve Lydford]

@Mors Sorry, I wasn't very clear. You should navigate to users/your_username/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components in the MacOS Finder and you should have the component shortcut there which you can right-click. "Show Original" is a Mac Finder function.

Did you choose "Export as Instrument (VSTi/AUi) plugin" from the Export menu in Hise?

[d.healey]

@Steve-Lydford This is no longer the case - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/8944/hise-build-fails-on-macos-proper-protocols-and-recommended-xcode-versions/6?_=1709244009970

[Steve Lydford]

@d-healey Ah, ok. Totally missed that. Thanks!
