macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 & Xcode 16.2 compiling errors

[kovaacs]

Hello,

I was very excited to see that someone revived this project, but the build on macOS fails the same as with the original repo 🤔

I followed the linked guide in both cases.

Hi, what's the setup you're using? macOS version? intel or apple silicon? Xcode version?
Unless you're using Sonoma, it should work fine.

thanks

EDIT : Also what version of CtrlrX you're trying to compile?

[damiensellier]

The compilation Guide for Xcode is a bit out dated. If you're on mac silicon you should set the projucer project as following :

RomanKubiak#560 (comment)

However, I got the build working without changing any source files by switching back to C++14 standard in the project build settings under "Apple Clang - Language" -> "C Language dialect"

Also, you need to build CtrlrX as "release" not debug in the Xcode schemes.

@kovaacs Did you succeed in building your app this way?

Same issue with Sonoma 14.7.1 and Xcode 16.2. Trying to build CtrlrX-5.6.30-GUI-Maintenance

Setting c++14 does not really help and fails when building shared code

[damiensellier]

It seems that there is a Sonoma problem. Compiled Ctrlr apps on older macOS run but seem to crash on closing.
I can't help with that unfortunately since I don't have Sonoma yet but Ventura.

I can try to build it on an Intel Mac that is running Ventura. Can I cross compile for Apple Silicon and Sonoma? What does that entail?

[damiensellier]

You can compile for ARM64 on intel. I think you need to install the arm64 library for xcode and when your run your project from projucer of define the settings of CtrlrX in Xcode you would need to specify :
target arm64
minimum system macos11
and C++ language standard is C++ 14

I don't remember but another user succeeded doing that at the early release stage of the mac M1.

Let me know if you get it right, I never tried on my own.
