Cross Compatibility - Moving HISE project between mac and windows

[griffinboy]

Here's a possibly interesting scenario.:
I am trying to co-develop a HISE project, and one developer is Windows, but the other is Mac.

Is it possible to copy project files across our machines?

I have tried it once so far and it has crashed my Windows version of Hise, opening a Mac folder.

We may be running slightly different builds of HISE, but I wouldn't think that would be the cause of a project failing to open.

Yes, but if you have compiled nodes you will need to recompile them on the other OS. You should probably also be using the same version of HISE on both.

A better option than copy/pasting for managing projects across multiple machines is git.

Thanks for the quick response,
I shall get us both updated to the latest build/

There are no compiled nodes, and so it is strange that I am having the crashing problem.
Additionally there seemed to be an extra folder included called MacOS something or other, which contained some binaries and a couple other folders that I imagined should have been kept in the main project folder. Odd Mac stuff.

I shall look into using Git.
