@David-Healey yes of course.

@Avián said in HISE image directory not found (macOS):

@David-Healey yes of course.

I meant the hi_images folder

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey Have you set the HISE path in Settings?

Yours will be different, of course, but it does need to be set here for compiling to work.

[Avián]

@dannytaurus yes! Exactly like you set it: /Users/username/Documents/Hise

This post is deleted!

[Avián]

@David-Healey yes, the folder exists in the right path.

@Avián Delete the contents of the binaries folder and recompile.

[dannytaurus]

@Avián And just to confirm, you're using Export as Instrument, and not Compile Project?

If you're still seeing an error, please post a screenshot of what you see. Don't refer us back to your first image because that's from Compile Project, which does not work.

[Avián]

@dannytaurus the reason why I refered back to my first image: cause it's the same issue. Sorry that I didn't told you before.

[David Healey]

@Avián Do you have more than one copy of HISE or the HISE source code on your system? Is your project on an external drive?

[Avián]

@David-Healey no! little update! It was possible to compile as a standalone now! Some folders in the binaries didn't have the permission to read & write. I checked and changed them all now. It works! But now, if I want to compile/export the vst3 & au, this issue shows up:

@Avián
Please recompile HISE from the latest commit. Christoph fixed this problem!
