juce_VST_Wrapper.cpp: 'pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h' file not found

Hi,

I have been trying to build the XCode project found in the plugin/builds/osx folder but it fails with the error above.

The vst2.x folder mentioned is in the Steinberg VST SDK which I have pasted into the third_party/VST_SDK/VST3_SDK/pluginterfaces folder of the project but, it is still not compiling.

Any clues you could share on how to get this done?

Also, there is a similar message on compiling in OSX for VST3 only. I however managed to compile a VST3 by setting JUCE_VST3_CAN_REPLACE_VST2=0 as preprocessor definition. However, I have not been able to successfully run any of the compiled target (Standalone, AU, or VST3) in OSX.

The fix is to find an old version of the Steinberg SDK namely a zip archive called vstsdk3610_11_06_2018_build_37. The VST2_SDK folder it contains needs to be added to the "Header Search Paths" of the JUCE project. The build with JUCE 6 is successful afterwards, however the generated App crashes and the plugins cant be loaded...
