Faust macOS Note
-
A reminder to macOS folks to manually approve the security for the Faust binaries.
-
@clevername27 What do you mean by manually approve security?
Faust binaries have to be signed? -
@ustk Yes. As of yesterday, the binaries hadn't been signed. What happens depends on the macOS version.
To check, double-click on one of the Faust binaries — if the OS says it can't be launched, then you need to approve all of them. Here's how to do that (recursively):
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Users/drwevans/Documents/HISE/tools/faust
-
@clevername27 Oh yes I see, I had the issue a few days ago at Faust first start, I didn't not understand and ended up dealing with that quarantine thingy
Didn't know the script though, I am a noob when times come to use the terminal... What a programmer huh? -
@ustk it removes the quarantine attribute from the file which triggers the gatekeeper.
there's a similar thing for Windows which triggers the defender smartscreen.
good thing about these OS terminal commands (on both OS') is that they're very well documented; just ask ChatGPT.
