Projucer on Mac fails in XCode on Project porting

Audio Plugins
1

I wrote a Projucer Project on Windows with Visual Studio and wanted to continue on Mac with XCode. So I created a new Project on Mac in Projucer as Audio Plugin and copied all File Contents and Folders inside of Projucer. When compiling, XCode shows many Errors inside the Juce Modules. Some Examples:

Is it possible to port a Windows Visual Studio Projucer Project to Mac XCode ?

These errors seem to come from undesired modifications to /Users/deek/JUCE/modules/juce_graphics/fonts/juce_Font.h.

For instance, on line 64, it shouldn’t be

Font juce::Fontat fontHeight, int styleFlags = plain);

but

Font (float fontHeight, int styleFlags = plain);

Be careful about Xcode attempting to auto-fix your code.

I hope this helps!

Thanks Alain! I wasn’t aware that XCode auto fixed something. I will recopy the original Code. That should fix it. Thanks a lot!!
