@JamesC @d-healey as predicted I missed a step, thanks so much for the videos that you have put out there, should have started with them!

Morning all

Once again looking for help with a vst plugin that failed to compile this is the error that I can see:

The following build commands failed:
CompileC /Users/jamescox/Documents/HISE\ Projects/GAESTEN/Binaries/Builds/MacOSX/build/GAESTEN.build/Release/GAESTEN\ -\ Shared\ Code.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/PresetData.o /Users/jamescox/Documents/HISE\ Projects/GAESTEN/Binaries/Source/PresetData.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'GAESTEN - Shared Code' from project 'GAESTEN')

This time I've got no clue how to potentially tackle this one or what the issue is so any advice is greatly appreciated!

For reference I compiled another VST on this machine successfully over the weekend I'm on Sonoma xcode 15.0

@d-healey thanks for the advice as always will give that temp solution a try once the kids are asleep!

Then do some research how to codesign the software on the pc which is where I tend to work then

@d-healey said in Universal Binary Issues:

codesigned

I don't believe I have dev stuff not my strong point as yet

@d-healey in any daw on mac silicon system it wont even scan and add it to the plugins list. PC and mac intel as expected appears on the list and can be used in DAW.

Same issue I was having when I was compiling on the M2 Sequoia 15.6 using xcode 16 exactly the same behaviour and error

@JamesC Develop if I understand what you mean

Hi all back again with another issue but as always could be me!

So complied HISE on Sonoma 14.7.7 (Intel Core i3) with xcode 15 and compiled vst3 and au that runs great on this intel machine. However it fails to run on any silicon systems. Now looking back over the output of the compile of the plugin I can see this warning:

FRESH TEST - Shared Code] Create Universal Binary libFRESH\ TEST.a
️ /Users/jamescox/Documents/HISE Projects/FRESH TEST/Binaries/Builds/MacOSX/FRESH TEST.xcodeproj: The macOS deployment target 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.9, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 10.13 to 14.0.99. (in target 'FRESH TEST - VST3' from project 'FRESH TEST')
MkDir /Users/jamescox/Documents/HISE\ Projects/FRESH\ TEST/Binaries/Builds/MacOSX/build/Release/FRESH\ TEST.vst3/Contents/MacOS (in target 'FRESH TEST - VST3' from project 'FRESH TEST')

Now when I went to look at the deployment target (as in a previous post about another system) its set to 10.3 (I assume this is the default I've not changed it) so falls between the range that it suggests.

Unsure if its relevant or not but worth mentioning incase this plugin was built on the PC version of HISE and I ported the files over to run the Mac compile, hopefully thats not the issue!

If anyone can help would be great I'm getting so close to having a plugin that works on all systems (PC, Intel Mac runs real nice) just need to get over this final hurdle but I just can't seem to work out what I'm doing wrong!

Hey Guys just to give some updates to this, for sure an xcode issue, I pulled my old mac mini out (Sonoma 14.7.7) and compiled on that and had the same issues come up until I went back to xcode 15.0 and was able to get completed functional vst and au builds out!

Cheers for all the help

@Chazrox @Christoph-Hart guys thank you, as you've suggested this would be a much better solution.

@d-healey ok thanks
