Windows 11 - Virtual Machine on Intel Mac

[DanH]

@aaronventure Just getting this up and running.

Parallels with Windows 11 running fine. Built Hise with Faust Enabled, all fine. Trying to now export the .dll file for my faust / snex nodes etc and running into trouble,

All paths are set ok. Have you tried this with Faust?

I'm running the Hise build from the same folder as the Mac build. Not sure if that might make a difference...

[aaronventure]

@DanH can you make a mock project folder and upload it, then give me steps to try and reproduce?

[DanH]

@aaronventure yes, do you have faust enabled?

[aaronventure]

@DanH yes

[DanH]

@aaronventure ok so one thing that is really slowing me down is that all my drives keep changing location / letter, so nothing is linking properly after a restart. So my Mac drive begins as, say, z:, but then becomes T/S/D whatever next time I turn it on! Have I set up parallels wrong do you think?

[DanH]

@DanH ok so moving Hise and my project to the C: drive has solved this. I can build the faust dll now.

Not ideal though as I would much prefer your system! Plus I've no idea how large the c: drive actually is....

[aaronventure]

@DanH Just make a symbolic link on the C drive, you don't have to move it.

The context extension won't install because it screams about it not being x64, so just use the command prompt to create a symlink

Although I have separate HISE sources on mac and on the windows VM.

For projects I just use the projects dir on the mac, that works fine.

[DanH]

@aaronventure ok so you have different HISE folders for OSX and Windows? If so where do you store the Windows one?

This is an intel machine so I may get away without the screaming

[aaronventure]

@DanH it's in the documents folder on the vm, on mac it's in the user directory.

I think what you're running into might be a permissions thing.

[DanH]

@aaronventure ok I'll have a deeper look at it all. Cheers for the help!

@Dan-Korneff Running UTM for over a month now. I have issues getting the audio interface to work and still have not tried MIDI inputs
I would have preferred to use Proxmox by seeing all the great things people are saying about, but it's not avail for ARM and probably won't be in a foreseeable future unfortunately...

I don't think ARM processors have enough cores to make a good Proxmox server.

The audio device issue is also present on Proxmox. My solution for the rare occasions I need to get audio out is a bluetooth headset, forwarding a bluetooth USB dongle directly to the MacOS VM.
