OSX Help! Xcode on Ventura (Download)

[bandit_FD1]

Hi All,

Recently I've built a hackintosh via a really cool method on Linux. Works great. I've got HISE installed as well as the git repo cloned with MOST of the bits and bobs I need. I only plan on using this box to compile VSTs for OSX. I can't install Xcode as it's looking for OSX v14 (Sonoma) That said, does anyone know where I can get an older version of Xcode from that's proper and that will work? I'm sure I may have follow up questions but for now this would be a great help. Thank you in advance!

@d-healey - Thank you David!

I've managed to get that installed. I followed the OSX instructions (although i'm not building HISE as I've already got the binary installed) -- from here, I loaded the standalone project into JUCE, also updated JUCE and pointed JUCE at all of the proper paths for VST/modules/etc.

I know I likely don't need to do this since I've already got the precompiled OSX bin of HISE installed. Do I just need to point HISE at all of that stuff now? (Xcode, SDK?) - As mentioned I'm just using this machine to build for OSX, so I'll be working stuff out and designing on Linux (which works 100% if I wanted to make Linux VSTs) -- I just plan on copying the project over to the hackintosh and running the HISE produced code in the IDE (I imagine) and hope for the best :)

Is there any chance we could revamp the steps for OSX building so I can just double check I did everything correctly and don't have to back track? (Not build HISE but setup a proper devel env on OSX to compile VSTs) Again as always, Thank you for your assistance in advance!

@bandit_FD1 Start with compiling the HISE source on the Hackintosh - if that doesn't work, you don't need to try the plugin export, and if it works, chances are great that you're setup correctly for exporting plugins.

@Christoph-Hart Hi Christoph, OK I'll give that try. I'm just wondering if there's something I can help contribute to (shell script maybe?) that will allow for proper setup and sanity checking. There's a lot of moving parts, I know you have precompiled binary, but it still relies on what's in the git repo. That said having a seamless solution that configures all this in one shot would be helpful even if it used the precompiled OSX bin + the underlying bits and had a boilerplate VST to compile. I'll give it a whirl either way. Thanks!

@bandit_FD1 said in OSX Help! Xcode on Ventura (Download):

shell script maybe

I use a shell script to download and build HISE and then build my projects. All it's doing is the same steps you need to do manually.

So, do it manually so that you fully understand the workflow, then write a script to do it for you and then you'll be set.

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart

Let me help clarify what I mean by all of this script/setup stuff.

I've build HISE from source, on Linux. Works great but my end goal is compiling for OSX. (don't really care about windows)

I guess maybe i'm overthinking the process. If I have the HISE binary for OSX already on the hackintosh, and i've followed the steps to configure Projucer and installed Xcode on the hackintosh, its just a matter of me copying the project over? Loading the .xcodeproj file into Xcode and pressing compile?

[d.healey]

@bandit_FD1 Essentially yes, but you should build HISE on osx first rather than using the precompiled binary

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart

Success! I managed to get this compiled on OSX, I will be testing things out with a project once I copy it over. Thanks again gents!
