– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Did you use the latest generator from the SDK? It’s included in the download at 3rd-Party Developers Support & SDKs | Steinberg.

yes I did use this newest generator:21G217
I had to update to mac Sonoma and the latest XCode 15.0
And I am now on Apple Silicone M2-processor.

The SMTG_GENERATOR_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is pointing to a directory inside the VST SDK. This is not supported and you should use for example /Users/marclingk/Documents/MyVSTPlugins/

And make sure that the samples in the SDK only contains the default ones and not one that you’ve generated.

Thank you, but this doesn’t do the trick . There must be more that I do not understand:

BTW: I repeated exactly the same procedure on my old MacBook Air, and there it worked.

Hi,
we are able to reproduce this issue if the generated project is inside the SDK, but not when generating the project outside the SDK. Can you try this again with a fresh download of the SDK? Thanks.

worked! Where are changes made in the SDK?

No, we did not make any changes. You had made changes to the SDK folder then.

î’m aware of that. But does the generator makes relevant changes?
