MacOS cannot find Clion Exporters

I use the latest JUCE and Clion, but in the projucer Exporters navigation bar, I cannot find the Clion Exporter, which is supposed to be there. I can find Xcode, Visual Studio 19,22, and Linux Makefile, but no Clion.

You’re looking for the CMake exporter, not “CLion”, because CLion - the IDE can easily import any CMake-based project, so get the CMake exporter working, then open CLion and open the folder where your CMakeLists.txt file is saved.

EDIT: In case you’re wondering, the $JUCE_HOME/examples/CMake/ directory contains working sample/template CMakeLists.txt - copy that, edit it for your project, an open it in CLIon 


I got it. Is there any elegant way to do this? I saw some tutorials, and their projucer all have a ‘target platform choice button’ for Clion. :thinking:

Copy one of the templates, modify it for your project, fire and forget. Once you get the project loaded in CLion things become a lot easier.

I think the “export to CLion” option was removed from Projucer but don’t quote me, I could be wrong, I don’t use Projucer since moving to CMake
 its really the best way to do things properly, imho, since CMake-based projects are very easily integrated into a CI/signing/notarization system, which you may find you need sooner rather than later, anyway 


Yes, I have tried using Cmake and Clion as my developing tools, which is amazing. This really helps me understand the basic conception of how a C++ project works.
