@d-healey wow I have literally no idea where to start with that stuff - they all seem to be IN xcode....and I'm not Im IN Hise - so I cant "reveal in log".

I tried another run at it now I get this:

▸ Compiling PresetData.cpp
▸ Building library libRetroVolt.a
▸ Building RetroVolt/RetroVolt - VST3 [Release]
▸ Check Dependencies
▸ Linking RetroVolt
▸ Touching RetroVolt.vst3
▸ Building RetroVolt/RetroVolt - AAX [Release]
▸ Check Dependencies
▸ Linking RetroVolt
▸ Touching RetroVolt.aaxplugin
** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	SetOwnerAndGroup lindon:staff /Library/Application\ Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/RetroVolt.aaxplugin
(1 failure)
Compiling finished. Cleaning up...
logout
Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

[Process completed]

so now its refusing to set the owner and group for the thing its making....but it made a plugin at:

/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/RetroVot.aaxplugin

so this is all very very flakey...

Has anyone any idea where the log file might be for an AAX build on a Mac?

@Lindon Another thing, have you tried to throw out to the trash the Binaries folder in your project folder?

[Lindon]

@ustk nope I'll try that then.

[ustk]

@Lindon And are you sure Hise is pointing to the good path in your preferences?

[Lindon]

@ustk yep Im pretty sure about pointing at the correct path....

But in any case good call well done and thank you - I trashed the build folder and it now compiles... so lets hope it also runs... thanks for your support.

Now on to the AAX Windows build - and the first thing I'm going to do is trash the build folder on that machine too...

Hey @Lindon, how did you get past the

error: Unable to create directory: /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/Lekko.aaxplugin/Contents (Permission denied)

problem? Are you able to build AAX in HISE on a Mac now? If so, what helped you? I tried trashing the Build folder but it doesn’t seem to help.

make sure you are using AAX SDK 2p3p2

Ok, even with the 2.3.2 SDK it doesn't build in Hise. I managed to go around it by running Xcode with sudo. Thank you!

Discovery of the year: you can actually run HISE as sudo! It builds fine then.
