@DabDab Xcode version?

[DabDab]

@d-healey Xcode version is 12.5.1
Running it on Big Sur

[d.healey]

@DabDab Have you been able to build on this system previously without issue?

[DabDab]

@d-healey This is a new system I am trying. I have been able to Build HISE Successfully.
But unable to export AU plugins from here. I have installed xcpretty, Command Line tools.

I was trying to build / compile from projucer via Auto-generated.projucer >XCODE.
BUT it also didn't work
Ipp.h not found error.

[d.healey]

@DabDab Disable ipp, it's not needed on MacOS

@Christoph-Hart Why not hard disable this by default on MacOS in the export template?

@DabDab Is this a virtual machine you're using?

[DabDab]

@d-healey I have seen for Mac OSX ipp=0

Hise built successfuly without Ipp. Why does it need during plugins export?
How can I bypasss it?

It doesn't. Did you disable it in the project preferences?

Are you using a virtual machine?

Wow! How do you know? Yes.

I didnt disable ipp on Preference.
Virtual Machine cant export plugins from HISE?. SO SAD.

Yes of course it can, that's what I do.

I'm guessing (based on the error message) that you only assigned a 1 or 2 CPUs to the machine, you'll probably need 4 because that -jobs thing tells the compiler to use all CPUs except 1 (or 2 I can't remember), but if you have less than that then it will be 0 which triggers the error.

[DabDab]

@d-healey ok. Then what is the solution?
On the VM settings I already have set 2cores from my 4core intel i5 cpu.

[d.healey]

@DabDab If you can add virtual cores add 2 more. Otherwise you'll need to open the project in xcode and compile it manually, you will be able to set the number of CPUs used in xcode - it will be very slow with only 2 cores and the VM might freeze during compilation.

[DabDab]

@d-healey you are right. When I was compiling HISE with 2 cores cpu it took almost 40 minutes.
Anyway I will give it a try what you have suggested.
Thank you. Cheers

Hi, @d-healey you are right. As soon as I increased the cores of my VM From 2 to 3 it stops showing the error. But compilation time was way too long. Now I have increased it to 4. It compiles much better.
I have few questions, since I am using VM Under windows and I am new to it.
First Question:
Can I update it to Sonoma or Sequa with VM for HISE?
Since my My CPU IS intel i5 3470 with 16GB RAM.

2ND Question:
Can I update it to newer HISE 4.X or above with my existing hardware config or do I need intel 8th Gen CPU ( at least).??

3rd Question :
Recommended XCODE AND OSX for HISE 4.X
and please suggest intel CPU Generation.

4th Question :
CAN I compile HISE 4.X ON a Macbook Air Mini?
I have Macbook Air Mini with Dual Core i5 processor. With 8GB of RAM.
I used to compile Hise 3.0 on it. This is the main reason behind going to Virtual Machine under windows since I have 6 Windows PCs. And I want to give it a try on VM Mac OSX with HISE 4.X.

@DabDab

1. You can use Sonoma on a VM to build HISE. Whether it will run with only 3 cores I don't know.

2. Because HISE's version number is changed so infrequently it really has no meaning. But there is no reason you can't use the latest develop branch on your VM.

3. No idea, I'm not a Mac guy, I use Ventura and whatever the latest version of xcode is. I haven't heard of any issues with Sonoma recently so it's probably fine. Use the most recent CPU you have with as many cores as possible. I use a Proxmox system for my VMs with a 12gen CPU.

4. Yes, if it compiled "HISE 3" it will compile "HISE 4" because they are essentially the same :)

[DabDab]

@d-healey excellent. Got it.
