Can't build Sparta plugin on Xcode

Audio Plugins
1

I’ve been trying to build sparta_6DoFconv from aalto using Xcode 16.2 The rest of the plugins are built correctly on vst, au and vst3, but not this. I added HDF5 and netcdf libraries that are requested. Build is succeeded but au is damaged (red) in reaper and can’t be loaded in Logic. VST simply doesn’t appear on reaper and VST3 can’t be built.

I’d be very grateful if someone can help me to know how to build this plugin.

this is xcode console while building debug AU in logic, but it pauses and stays loading plugin

Tried changing C++ dialect to 20, didn’t work. Also I tried to make a cmake build, but had some issues as I’m not a programmer.

I only have time to look at this briefly, but I noticed that there are already pre-compiled VST, VST3 and LV2 versions of these plugins (available here: Release v1.7.1 · leomccormack/SPARTA · GitHub)

I wonder then if there’s a specific technical reason they don’t support AU out of the box that they aren’t mentioning.

Looking at the github readme there’s a few pre-requisites in addition to the ones you mentioned, so perhaps something here was missed?

Is there a specific reason why you as a non-programmer are trying to build them yourself from the source code?
