@David-Healey ..so, apparently, am I...

@David-Healey /setup

@dannytaurus said in Big problems with hise-cli /setup:

@Lindon If I were in your situation I'd ask Claude/your agent this:

"Read my forum post here and tell me how to get up and running:  (link to this forum post)."

You don't need to overthink things. Let your agent do all the digging through docs and error reports. They are infinitely better and more patient at it than we meat bags are.

so I did this and it gave me all the solutions I had already tried.. nothing new, finally it said:

Fallback: if you just need HISE running today, you can skip the wizard and set it up manually: clone the HISE repo with submodules, open the Projucer project, and build the Xcode project directly. Once clang works from the terminal, that route doesn’t depend on hise-cli at all.

which is what Ive already done.... so really pretty unimpressive response from this view point.

@dannytaurus so does your agent have access to the hise-cli repo?

@Lindon hmm, its saying "Compiler: not detected" in the Detected tab - could that be it?

@Lindon I tried installing the stand alone command line tools, and they are there in /Library/Developer and still no change to hise-cli

@Lindon ok so I removed XCode 15.4 and installed XCode 16.2, and I get the same outcomes....anyone?

Whre the f**k are the command line tools supposed to be so this hise-cli can discover them?, MacOS thinks they are installed!

lindonparker@lindons-Mini ~ % xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

@Lindon ok this if fricking nuts, there is no Command Line Tools for XCode 15.4 on the Apple site, so (on Gemini's advice) I tried to install 15.3's command line tools, it tells me it worked but theres nothing in Library/Developer. ..and hise-cli /setup is still hung up at the same point.

OK so I downloaded and installed hise-cli on my mac mini - cause I can never remember how to set up HISE on MacOS I do it so infrequently.....

I type /setup

I check the environment is ok - it is, I add Faust and [submit]

the first time thru it showed me this:

Executing HISE Setup...
Check platform support
Platform supported.
Install compiler toolkit
Checking Command Line Tools...
Launching Command Line Tools installer...

✗ Command Line Tools installer launched. A system dialog should appear now.

  1. Click 'Install' in the dialog.
  2. Wait for the download to complete (~5–10 min).
  3. Type /resume to continue the wizard.

I clicked install on the dialog, and waited for the install to complete....once it had done so I typed /resume

..and I got the same message again:

▎
▎ > /resume
▎

✗ Command Line Tools installer launched. A system dialog should appear now.

  1. Click 'Install' in the dialog.
  2. Wait for the download to complete (~5–10 min).
  3. Type /resume to continue the wizard.

only this time theres no dialog starting, nothing.....seems its not recognising the command-line tools are now installed...

I rebooted the machine, no change..

any clues what to do?

@Chazrox so is there ever going to be a windows version?

@dannytaurus yeshthat looks interesting, I guess I am going to have to wait until I have Claude up and running for myself, rather than the free public version, and that may well be waiting until I've moved house, now if only I could find an AI agent to do that for me.....

@dannytaurus

Thanks Danny for a really useful post - this is exactly the sort of thing I was asking for. Looks like Im off to get a Claude Pro license....

@dannytaurus said in Where's Christoph?:

@Lindon said in Where's Christoph?:

I recall there was some stuff mentioned a few months back but Im pretty sure its out of date now...

That's why I'm hesitant to post anything along the lines of guide or instructions.

Things are moving so fast that anyone reading after a few weeks will be out of date.

But yes, a high-level config/setup would be good. Things like CLAUDE.md files, memory, etc. have always been around and will likely remain in place until the next big shift.

yeah thats what everyone says..so we all end up with nothing. Which is WORSE than out of date

@dannytaurus @Christoph-Hart @David-Healey

So this is an interesting discussion. I've realised I cant continue with my free Gemini, Chat-GPT and and Claude usage if I want to step away form getting basic Faust script generated. That sorta works with a fair bit of tweaking from me, but I'ts become clear I should start using these things (and get a pro account).

So..... I think it would be a good idea to get some documentation: "How to set up a starting config. in Claude if you want to use it for HISE-based development" sort of thing. I recall there was some stuff mentioned a few months back but Im pretty sure its out of date now...

Im also sure some of our more Claude-for-Hise savvy developers : looking at you Danny.... could just ask Claude to list a useful config. based on their current set up...

Yes I know everyone's aims are different, and every ones coding style is (slightly) different etc. etc. and it will all be out of date by next week.... but offering newbies to the approach (such as myself) a starting point would be good.

OK thats it - lets get back to asking where Christoph is....

@jimbo This is really something you need to talk about to Christoph directly.

Is anyone using one of the AI tools to make intro/marketing videos for products, the sort that just show the UI and list the feature set whilst playing audio from the plugin? If so which one?

@David-Healey - well that seems to work so thanks again.

@David-Healey said in Problems with SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_INSTALL etc.:

HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1

thanks I will try that.

Get this behaviour!

So I load the VST3, and it shows me the dialog boxes.... I hide the plugin- interface and then reshow it and it comes up correctly....

..mystified.

So for no reason I can see the settings for SAMPLE DIALOG are now no longer working:

I set them like this:

HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_INSTALL_BUTTON=0
HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_LOCATE_BUTTON=0

in my projects settings, I have tried every combination of zero and one....

..but in all cases Im still getting some dialog showing up when I first open my plugin, which I DEF. dont want.

I've tried earlier versions of HISE to no avail...

Any one have any clues?
