Mac OS build problems

@d-healey Ok, good to know. You are the expert at this so I will follow your lead. :)

@d-healey Ok, so I watched your latest video on Patreon/YouTube and followed all your instructions for Mac OS: I installed xcpretty and GIT. Xcode 15 Beta 6 with command line tools I had already installed. It took a while but it finally finished and it said it completed successfully...

It created a HISE folder with everything inside but when I launch the HISE app from ...

I'm having the same issue as before: The app never launches ... it bounces up and down for a bit and then not responding...

So... hmmmm .... what could be going on here? I did see quite a bit of yellow warnings as I was running your script in the Terminal but I didn't see any error messages. Maybe I need to restart my iMac again?

@ElectroBlue Open HISE in the terminal (drag the app onto the terminal window and hit enter) and see if you get any errors.

@d-healey It says "permission denied"

[d.healey]

@ElectroBlue Try the chmod +x command.

@d-healey said in Mac OS build problems:

chmod +x

I tried that. It doesn't fix the problem. My computer hates me! lol

I don't remember what command to use after SUDO if I was going to try that.

@ElectroBlue Why is your user called test?

You might need to open gatekeeper, or whatever security settings your version of MacOS has and whitelist the HISE application

Open a Mac app from an unidentified developer

If you try to open an app by an unidentified developer and you see a warning dialogue, you can override your security settings to open it.

I don't know? It's been that way for years. I think a long time ago I was having some issues so I created a new user account called "test" to see if the problem still existed in a fresh user account ... and it didn't so then I just used that account.

I looked everywhere and cannot find anything called gatekeeper. I also went through every single item listed in my Mac OS Ventura security settings ... I even gave Terminal Full Dis Access. Nothing I try seems to be working to solve this issue. but someone the other day listed a SUDO command that worked to get rid of that Permission Denied message but I can't remember it now and I've been scouring the internet with no luck. Every website says to use SUDO but they don't list the command to use after it. Ugh

[d.healey]

@ElectroBlue
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine path_to_app

Perhaps?

[ElectroBlue]

@d-healey no such luck :sad_but_relieved_face: :loudly_crying_face:

@d-healey could the issue have something to do with the fact that I'm using an Intel-based Mac and not Apple Silicon? I had a similar issue with Romplur a while back... it wouldn't export on an Intel-based Mac ...their support said that it currently only works on M1 Macs.

[ElectroBlue]

@d-healey So I decided to create a fresh new user account on my iMac and test it out there and see if it works and it worked!!! Thank you Jesus!! I compiled HISE from your script! Now I just need to figure out how to export my instrument… that part still doesn’t work yet. Not quite smooth sailing, But it’s progress not perfection

@ElectroBlue @d-healey, at least in my case, it was because I changed the name of the folder which the HISE source and my projects were in. Changed it back—finally launches.
