    AVX2 sample projects do not compile on modern-ish macOS

    Hi, the AVX 2.0 sdk contains a bunch of sample code and Xcode projects, but I'm admittedly not sufficiently-adept to coerce them into compiling on a remotely-modern Mac. The XCode projects date to 2016 and reference macOS 10.4, the documentation refers to a Metrowerks Codewarrior 8.3 requirement! 2002 is calling.

    The best-case scenario would be that I goofed and there's an updated SDK available for download and it's just difficult to find.

    If not, it'd be great if Avid could have one of their developers devote a half-day to updating the Xcode projects and/or precompiler directives and code to compile on modern macOS. Bonus points if someone can also touch up the documentation, but if resources are slim I'd still be happy to have a functional starting point with fewer barriers to entry.

    If continued official support for the SDK isn't feasible –if someone out there knows how to get the samples to compile and can post some tips on the process, that would be amazing.

    Re: AVX2 sample projects do not compile on modern-ish macOS

    Avx sdk which is available at the site, doesn't support native silicon architectures for mac os. So it can't be compiled in native mode. But it stilll works for intel archs

    Re: AVX2 sample projects do not compile on modern-ish macOS

    Hi DJFio, much appreciation over here for your effects.

    The AVX2 SDK samples did not compile on a modern macOS on Intel for me because the projects are from 2016 and seem to target macOS 10.4. It might be relatively easy for people with more knowledge to make them work on more recent versions, but I didn't have any luck making it work.
