DLL to OSX?

[BigBlackMuzik]

Is there a simple way to convert DLL to OSX?

Only AAX and VST is showing up if i want to export my FX plugin.
And if i convert it to a OSX file, do i also need to create a DMG installer?

Please help me out,

Kind regards,
Joe

DLL is Windows only. A VST plugin is a .dll file.
.so is what you get on GNU/Linux
I can't remember what file extension the Mac one has but it might be .pkg.

If you want to export a plugin for MacOS you need to export it using a Mac.

@BigBlackMuzik You don't need to create an installer
As David said, you do need to use a Mac if you want macOS plugins/standalone compatibility
You cannot convert from an OS to the other...

vst extension is... .vst

Au extension is .component

@Lindon What about standalone?

@d-healey

no extension shows up...

A standalone app is in fact a folder with a hidden file indicating that it's executable. The actual binary resides in a subfolder called Content/macOS (or something like that).

Not that it makes any difference to anything...

@d-healey apps are .app on Mac
