Hi,
I ran into a problem archiving a Workspace with multiple VST3 plug-in targets in Xcode 15. I’ve found a workaround by modifying Projucer, so I’m submitting a patch here.
Here’s my problem:
We are building a suite of plug-ins, apps and a static library using an Xcode Workspace file. Our plug-ins include VST3 targets, so each one is trying to build juce_vst3_helper. When archiving with Xcode or xcodebuild, the INSTALL_PATH is used as a destination for this executable in the Intermediates directory. To Xcode it appears that each VST3 is trying to put a file in the intermediates directory under usr/local/bin/juce_vst3_helper. Xcode 15, at least, calls this an error, one per project that has a VST3 target.
The best workaround I found is to use the project name for the VST3 Manifest Helper target’s INSTALL_PATH. For our release builds we export the Xcode projects from the Projucer files, and so the only way to modify the INSTALL_PATH was to modify the Projucer exporter.
I also tried s.set ("SKIP_INSTALL", "YES"); but that didn’t work for me.
In juce_ProjectExport_Xcode.h, starting at line 1818 insert:
if (type == Target::VST3Helper)
{
s.set ("INSTALL_PATH", singleQuoted ("$(PROJECT_NAME)"));
}
else if (installPath.isNotEmpty())
{
I hope this helps to find a solution or anyone who is dealing with this. Given that it probably started back in 7.0.6 when the helper was introduced, I have to assume we are doing something unique here. But just in case, here it is.
