Local builds
setting up a dev environment (to be able to compile) can be a bit of a challenge, though VCV do document it well (as does 4ms for the MM)
if you look at my RNBO project, I also document this and point you in the right direction…
and once it works there, you have a dev environment that should work for others projects (like this one) too.
(note: Ive not setup on that repo a desktop github workflows , so it wont help with below…)
Mac/Windows workflow
that said…
@Starscream the trick is github workflows, you can adapt your github workflow to also build/release on mac, many / most other VCV projects do this.
Claude (or your LLM of choice) should be able to do / help you with this.
really, its just a small update to .githhub/workflos/build.yml
essentially just copy from a project that already has macOS support in it
(also, good news is, do it for one project, and you can reuse on any new projects
)
this will NOT affect your MM build and you use a different yml for that.
just a thought, unfortunately, I don’t have time to do it, and push you a PR.
but thought, id mention there are workflows out there that can do it, and Id assume AI knows about them…
just make sure AI doesnt try to ‘reinvent the wheel’ .. as github servers have certain restrictions on macOS versions etc.
side note: github changes its policies on using git actions / workflows on certain accounts (e.g. free), I dont now what they are currently allowing (or not) on free accounts.
