H E L P ! Hackintosh, HISE and Xcode

[bandit_FD1]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if someone can assist me with this, or remotely point me in the right direction.

First let me say that I love HISE, it's awesome. I use it on Linux, although I'd prefer to be building stuff on OSX. I decided to build out a hackintosh VM (ventura) and get Xcode on it and also compile HISE on that Hackintosh (as per @Christoph-Hart and @d-healey's recommendations)

I have Xcode, I built HISE with it. What gives?

I managed to try and export the VST anyway, and it actually looked like it was going to work until :

I noticed that the xcodebuild error looked like maybe it wasn't picking up the path, although it's in /usr/bin so I updated that piece of it and tried to run it.

Then I decided to just run Xcode via the GUI and see what the situation is with trying to build the project file:

I personally would love to either assist with or help build a turn-key solution that stands HISE up with all the bits and bobs you need, configured and ready for a build environment. Or Maybe just a script that sanity checks and tells you how to correct the problem?

I was super excited when I first learned of HISE, it's genius, what it provides allowing non-developers like myself the ease of generating something awesome that would typically take years to master is just priceless. So I think everyone here agrees there's extreme merit in this project and it's REALLY cool; i'm just frustrated trying to get it stood up on OSX.

As mentioned I did go through the motions on Linux, and I was able to compile stuff there. Which it works flawlessly. Granted that's using gcc/make.

Anyway, Please help :) I just want to stand this thing up on OSX and compile these VST projects properly. Thank you in advance.

@bandit_FD1 If you search the forum for that error message about "xcodebuild requires xcode" you should find the answer as it's come up a few times before - I can't remember the solution otherwise I'd just post it here.

@d-healey I really need to get into the habit of searching the forum. I found a few possible options:

https://forum.hise.audio/topic/6292/can-t-export-plugin-on-macos/14?_=1723774887946

This basically states (quoting you) - Open the .juce file in Projucer, then the project in Xcode and compile. I'll keep banging on it and if i get stuck, i'll repost to this thread. Thanks again !

Well done for hackintosh. Personally I was wondering to make a Hacintosh Setup in one of my Gigabyte h61, 16 GB RAM DDR3, i5 3rd Gen Windows 11 PC. Basically it is very old setup. I used to use during my Engnr. college days. I want to give it a try.
My question is which way did you do the virtualization for HISE? Did you use VMWare or VirtualBox or you did it with Regular Pendrive Boot Mac setup like this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASx-vAmyZJo

I am very interested to build Hackintosh on my old Windows 11 PC.

This method made it CRAZY simple. here's the thing; the reason i'm eager to compile or get HISE to compile vst3 for OSX is, I want to test it on M1, i'm not sure since it's emulated that it'll work correctly there without rosetta. I'm not sure yet, i'm going to try to see what I can get going with the help that's already in the forum first.

Also you'll need Linux for KVM (might be a Windows variant out there but i'm not sure) -- I'd recommend Ubuntu 24.04 for ease of install and running KVM, just follow the instructions and it's pretty easy and works flawlessly.

@bandit_FD1 Excellent. I will give it a try. Thank you :)

Yes it will run natively on Apple silicon

That's not the solution I was thinking of.

This is the solution - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/3163/having-trouble-export-an-aui/8

@d-healey - We are getting closer :)

The wizard now works 100%, the xcode steps were a great success. Problem now is something similar to what I saw earlier - ipp.h is missing. I made a very simple test plugin, then tried to export it. It was cooking, then this:

Ideas?

Thanks again in advance.

@bandit_FD1 Disable IPP, you don't need it on Mac
