Build script not working both Windows and macOS

[guitarflow]

Hey there!
Thanks for this great project!

I wanted to try it out but the build scripts as mentioned in the README fail on all machines I've tried.
MacBook M1 Max (macOS Sonoma 14.5) and Intel iMac (macOS Monterey 12.7.4):

Aside from that, I found a small typo in the macOS and Linux build instructions: "git clone" is mentioned twice.

Would be great to know what I can do to fix the build issues. I'd love to try this!
Thanks a lot!

[rehans]

Thanks for the feedback!

I removed the duplicate “git clone” from the instructions and fixed the Windows build.

I don't know what I need to do on macOS though to make it work because when you open Wordify.xcodeproj and build it from Xcode the build is successful. When trying to build from command line it somehow cannot determine the "active architecture"...no idea why. I need to investigate ;)

[rehans]

macOS is fixed as well. Those architecture warnings can be ignored.

@guitarflow please try again if you find the time :)

[guitarflow]

Alright, thanks for that! The build scripts are running through now on both the M1 and the Intel machine.
I will play around with the plugin more in the next days.

Cubase 13 crashed immediately when loading the Debug version of the plugin by the way.
It loaded fine with the Release build.

[rehans]

Great!

...well, not so great that it crashes in Debug ;) Maybe you can provide a stack trace next time.

Furthermore I have updated the Readme in regards to the whisper model: https://github.com/max-and-me/wordify-plugin?tab=readme-ov-file#setup-whispers-ai-model-environment

So please keep in mind that if you build & run the Release version locally, run the installer beforehand.

WordifyCrashLog.txt

Crash log attached.
Apparently ARA related. Disclaimer: I have never used ARA in Cubase before, so may be user error.
I right-clicked an audio clip and selected Wordify from the plugin menu to trigger the crash.

Thanks for the additional info about the Whisper model.

[rehans]

Ah ok, I see!

The problem is that you select Wordify from the Plug-ins submenu. But you need to select it from the Extensions submenu. I marked Wordify now as an "OnlyARA" extension (ec7ef2f) to remove it from the Plug-ins submenu of Cubase.

Thank you very much, that's a good find!
