macOS Catalina AUi not compiling properly... but VST3 + AAX working

[Dan Korneff]

I would like to preface this with the following:
I'm running a Mid 2010 Mac mini with an "unsupported" install of Catalina.
Xcode 11.3.1 and IPP installed.

I'm trying to compile an instrument on MacOS. AAX and VST3 export properly, but the compiled AUi exports with about 12kb of data. I'm not getting any errors in Terminal.

Since the SDK for AU is built in to the OS, is it possible that it's not installed? How can I check this?

EDIT: I AM getting a error in Terminal

The following build commands failed:
	Rez build/test.build/Release/test\ -\ AU.build/ResourceManagerResources/Objects/include_juce_audio_plugin_client_AU.rsrc /Users/User/Documents/test/Binaries/JuceLibraryCode/include_juce_audio_plugin_client_AU.r
(1 failure)
Compiling finished. Cleaning up...

@dustbro not on the mac right now but I think HISE requires xcode 10... could be wrong...

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon I don't think that's the case. I've compiled FX plugins from this ring without issues.

updated original post. I AM getting an error...

include_juce_audio_plugin_client_AU.rsrc

looks like we've seen this before

[Dan Korneff]

it looks like people are successfully compiling by doing the following:

in juce_audio_plugin_client_AU.r
chage

#include <AudioUnit/AudioUnit.r>

to

#include <AudioUnit.r>

Giving that a try now.

@dustbro

yeah if you read the link you posted you get to this:

@mwplugs AFAIK Hise compiles with macOS Mojave & XCode 10. You can install XCode10 instead of 11.

No one says you cant compile with xcode 11 - just it wont reliably work so you SHOULD use xcode 10.

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon the above fix was the cure. It compiled properly after the change.

@dustbro Im not seeing that line you mention changin in the HISE-2.0.0 folder / subfolders version of juce_audio_plugin_client_AU.r

EDIT NM, I found line 28 in the juce module and changed it to #include <AudioUnit.r>

I am finding that line in audiounit.r in the VST3 SDK folder too, do I need to edit that?

@MacroMachines said in macOS Catalina AUi not compiling properly... but VST3 + AAX working:

if your are making VST3s?

-- but read the comments above - if you are on Catalina and XCode 11 then you're not on a "supported" platform.

if you are on Catalina and XCode 11

Also note, this happens on xcode 10
