Call to member function 'read' is ambiguous.

[RastaChess]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to build HISE on macosx (12.3.1) on a new macbook pro with the M1 pro chip.

The build keeps failing and I keep getting a recurring error that reads "Call to member function 'read' is ambiguous."
Has anyone else run into this?

Can you please help me figure this out?

Thank you in advance.

Are you building the develop branch?

Hi David,
Thank you for your help.

I was not building the develop branch, silly me.

Downloaded it and trying to build it now.

Xcode seemed to get much further along the build process but ultimately failed again. This time producing another uncategorized error.

Thanx again, I appreciate all your help.

error. (Code pic attached)

@RastaChess I was getting this same error a couple of weeks ago, I was using xcode 13.something. The solution for me was to roll back to an earlier xcode version, but you're already on an earlier one so I don't think that will work, perhaps try a newer version.

@RastaChess I was also getting the same error when using Xcode 13..., it was fixed when I downgraded to Xcode 13.0

How to downgrade the Xcode on macOS?
Only deleting the app from the Applications folder and placing the older version?

[ulrik]

@Steve-Mohican just download Xcode 13.0 unzip it and drop it in the application folder, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the one you already have.
Also download the Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.0 and install it

@ulrik Ok, I'll try that as soon as possible thank you.

@ulrik Thanks everyone.

I downloaded xcode 13.0 and used to build HISE.

The build worked, but the app does not fully work. The interface builder is crashing when I try to build a new interface. Also I can't create any sliders or buttons. Is this due to the develop branch? Should just go back to building the 2.1.0 version?

thanks for any tips you might have.

@RastaChess

The interface builder is crashing when I try to build a new interface

This is a known bug, but you don't need to add an interface in the latest version of HISE, it's already added by default. You should see it in the module in the left hand side bar.

Also I can't create any sliders or buttons. Is this due to the develop branch?

How are you trying to create them?

[RastaChess]

@d-healey
just control clicking on the interface designer background (I was able to do it like this on the full download master version 2.0) it should bring up the menu where I can select between slider, button etc. but It does nothing. maybe I'm missing something.

[d.healey]

@RastaChess Try right-clicking. Also make sure the interface designer is unlocked (click the pencil icon).

[RastaChess]

@d-healey ok, so normally on a mac you right-click by pressing control + click, but the new macbooks/osx come with the right-click set up to be as a two-finger-tap on the track pad. I was totally unaware of this. So I was control-clicking like a mad man, effectively doing nothing. How embarrassing.

Anyways, HISE-Develop seems to be working just fine, so problem solved, for now. I'm sure I will be back with more questions.

Thank you.
