[d.healey]

@Morphoice Looks good.

[Morphoice]

@d-healey damn that would have been an easy fix lol

[Christoph Hart]

Hmm, maybe it fails because of this:

if(macOSVersion == SystemStats::MacOS_14)
{
        PresetHandler::showMessageWindow("Copystep diabled", "macOS Sonoma will cause a compile error if the copy step is enabled, so you have to copy the plugin files into the plugin folders manually after compilation");
        copyPlugin = false;
}

So Sequoia is macOS 15, and it appears that I've written the most future proof lines of code of the entire HISE codebase here...

I've committed a fix that will hold until macOS 20 (remindme in 10 years...), but I don't have Sequoia on my system so you need to check if that actually helped. It should now print a warning message with this content:

macOS Sonoma (or later) will cause a compile error if the copy step is enabled, so you have to copy the plugin files into the plugin folders manually after compilation

but then the compilation should go through.

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart LOL :) I'll check it out and get back to you in a bit

[Morphoice]

@Morphoice got the warning now, the cycle error is gone now and it does indeed compile, however fails a few minutes later

@Morphoice Use VST3, not VST2 - enable the checkbox in project preferences.

@Christoph-Hart is it not enabled by default?

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart if I compile the project with Xcode this is the details I get

[d.healey]

@d-healey said in ERROR: Cycle inside a single target:

@Morphoice Use VST3, not VST2 - enable the checkbox in project preferences.

And if you already have that checkbox enabled, have you extracted the SDK folders?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey what even is VST2 ?? ,))) let me check how to disable it

[Morphoice]

@d-healey or enable VST3, that is. I thought it was on by default too, never bothered to check

[Morphoice]

@d-healey yeah well, now it fails on another message

damn. I wanted to be out for a beer an hour ago LOL

[d.healey]

@Morphoice did you extract the SDK in the tools folder?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey aye it's all there

[d.healey]

@Morphoice you 100% definitely got the right folder structure?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey got all green ticks on the setup export wizard

[d.healey]

@Morphoice did you clean the build folder after enabling vst3?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey yes that too... it seems to be a problem with the SDK, i might have vst3 sdk stuff I downloaded from steinberg still in there... deleted everything and extracted the zip file in the tools folder again now it goes to the linking phase... taking a long time but I reckon it will work this time.

Yeah linking takes ages on MacOS

[Morphoice]

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart YESSS! Build successful, we finally got it.

Men, I owe you! That was a long birth, but a milestone for me. Made huge steps today, tThank you so much for your help and patience, I shall drink to you both now!!!
