ARM/Intel Universal Binary... how?

[orange]

@dustbro Have you checked M1 universal binary inside the Intel mac?

Is develop branch successful for M1?

I haven't yet. I'll probably be ready to do more testing in about a week.

I hope we will soon be able to use XCode 12.2 to 12.4 from non OS11 compatible machines, so we can export Universal Binaries from Intel.
Otherwise, the only solution would be to buy an OS11 computer (with or without M1, but you know how it is...)

@dustbro hey, which new_layout commit you use because I can't force my setup to even compile app

[dustbro]

@arminh the one from about 10 days ago

[arminh]

@dustbro I'm out of ideas ...

I tried compile this commit

https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/tree/27a94f3e11615fcfa793a9ec58ac531a75de5c7f

But I'm getting a lot of issues

[orange]

@arminh

Is it M1 or Intel mac?
Which XCode version are you using?
IPP enabled?

[arminh]

@orange

M1, Xcode 13, IPP enabled

[dustbro]

@arminh said in ARM/Intel Universal Binary... how?:

IPP enabled

Build with IPP disabled

[arminh]

@dustbro ok I amble to build Hise, even with IPP flag, but I have error building plugin with IPP. I assume that there's no option to build intel x64 with app?

I'm unable to build a plugin from the latest commit as well.

@Christoph-Hart Can you please clearify this situation?

• A couple of months ago you've declared that Hise can export M1 plugins but is Hise compatible?
• If yes, which macOS version do you suggest?
• Which XCode version do you suggest?
• How can we build universal binaries with IPP?

A lot of people is struggling with this but we haven't seen any directions from you about this.

Please help, or fix it. I think this is much more an emergency "to do" thing rather than "new layout".

[Christoph Hart]

A couple of months ago you've declared that Hise can export M1 plugins but is Hise compatible?

Exported plugins are native M1 compatible, but HISE isn't. The SNEX JIT compiler requires to be run under Rossetta and I will only start working on an native ARM JIT compiler when Apple announces the end of Rossetta and not a single day earlier.

If yes, which macOS version do you suggest?

I'm compiling on my MacBook Air M1 with Big Sur and Xcode 12.4.

How can we build universal binaries with IPP?

I think I will remove IPP from macOS builds altogether in the foreseeable future. The performance difference to Apples VDSP framework is negligible, so just disable IPP when you build universal binaries.

Thank you for clearifying.

True for M1 systems but IPP is very important for intel systems. I think universal binary support would be needed at least 4-5 years more.

So for now we can't make universal binaries right? Must be individual for intel and M1? Can you add this feature please?

@Christoph-Hart said in ARM/Intel Universal Binary... how?:

the apple stuff is fast enough

Maybe not? Checking out the ARM compiled plugin with a convolution plugin is giving me warnings in debug mode.

### PerformanceWarning
-Time: **0.70**   /CallbackIndex: **60**
-Location: 'Convolution::ConvolutionRendering'
-Voice Amount: **0**
-Limit: '10.0%'  Avg: '2.07%', Peak: '11.0%'

Guys how can we see these debug reports?
I enabled debug mode before plugin compilation, but after building I can't see anything.

There is a button available in the Custom Settings Floating Tile to turn Debug Mode on and off.
Add that to your project.

[Steve Mohican]

@dustbro Ok, now understood. Thank you!

I've got my M1 mac mini up and running with:
HISE - New layout
Xcode 13
IPP 2021.4.0

I am trying to comple Hise on M1 Mac Mini, but:

• I am getting JUCE path is incorrect warning in Projucer. When I manually locate it still fails to compile. Do we need something for this?
• Did you enable IPP while compiling Hise in Projucer?
• Selected Mac (Rosetta) while compiling in XCode?
• or any hint for this please?

What I use is:

HISE - New layout (from 25 October)
XCode 12.4 (@Christoph-Hart config)
IPP 2020.3

What version of JUCE are you using?

Did you enable IPP while compiling Hise in Projucer?

IPP must be disabled

Selected Mac (Rosetta) while compiling in XCode?

Yes. HISE requires Rosetta to run on M1

@dustbro said in ARM/Intel Universal Binary... how?:

What version of JUCE are you using?

@dustbro I am using the projucer in the Hise package. Version 6.

Thanks for the info, I will try to compile Hise without IPP again.
