I want to build a VST plugin on OSX. I can compile it just fine, but the VST-host (Cubase Essential 4) always crashes when trying to load it or reports that the plugin is somehow broken.
Probably, this is because I am missing some ingredients to the VST-bundle.
Which preferences need to be set in XCode and what stuff has to be put into the bundle to make this work? Or is there even a sample project somewhere?
Thank you in advance
I have written up a guide for developing VST plugins by hand on Mac OSX here:
Making a VST plugin from scratch with Xcode
Also I have developed a set of Xcode project templates which you can use which do all of this for you and simply give you a base project for VST effects/instruments:
Teragon Audio Xcode VST Templates
Both of these are written for the VST 2.x SDK, as I have not worked with the 3.x SDK and am not using any sequencers which have migrated to it yet.
