I think we are talking past each other. You can of course build any project any way you like. An then make sure that your plugins link to the build result using the link options defined in projectdefinition.txt. But I think you want to include an already existing (non-plugin) project in the solution created by the Project Tool, right? And I think that is not possible. I guess you could add the project manually to the solution created by the Project Tool.

Hello, you find information how to run a plugin from within Visual Studio in the documentation: Development for Microsoft Windows - Running Plugins. best wishes, Sebastian

Thank you so much, all The Cinema 4D on the other computer was not updated to R19.068, I updated the c4d app and I made new test, it seem to work normally. To be sure, I will retest it again on a third computer. I have an error when I try to debugging plugins, I will create new topic concerning this error. Thanks again, and have a great day.

Hi c4dmac, thanks for following up here. With regard to the issue you've reported you can get fixed by reestablishing the executable bit on the kernel_app file found in the zip archive. To sum it up, upon downloading the project tool archive you have to: remove quarantine xattr -d "com.apple.quarantine" ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903.zip extract the archive (either via terminal or via finder) unzip -d ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903 ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903.zip re-establish the kernel_app executable bit chmod 555 ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903/kernel_app.app/Contents/MacOS/kernel_app Best, Riccardo

hello, We need to ask if you are compiling the SDK, your own project, etc. Different question, you should open a different thread :) It will help other people to find the thread. Cheers, Manuel

Hi Root Star, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to the IDE version, we highly suggest sticking the compatibility table reported in our documentation. Visual Studio 2019 is not supported by R20 and it's likely not to be officially supported also on R21. With regard to .hxx files, these are generated by our source processor when the building process is initiated and it's highly discouraged to change or get rid of them during the building process. The issues you're facing are highly related to the fact that the solution/project file(s) built by the projecttool (when kernel_app_64bit.exe g_updateProject=<your path to Cinema SDK> is executed) are not 100% compatible with VS2019 resulting in building tool-chain flaws. Best, Riccardo

hello, if you can give us feedback that would be awesome. Cheers Manuel

@r_gigante said in Specify additional directories for DLL dependencies: If I end up with some workaround I'll come back here but for the time being I consider it solved. OK, thanks for the info! /Filip

Thanks Sebastian, I will try that! /Filip

Thanks Sebastian! Looking forward for a fix. ;) Meanwhile I'll take care of your recommendation. Best, Robert

HI Andreas, no worries, this question was not exclusively targeted at Maxon, the opposite is the case. I was hoping for some information by other users here, like @kbar or even @m_adam (back in the days Maxime was not associated with Maxon. ;)) Meanwhile, I'm going to build a toolchain and see what works for me. I'll report back here if I have something to show. That may help someone else.

Here's an older blog post about VS property sheets. Still for VS2010, but the principle is still the same. Sharing project properties in Visual C++

I found the culprit. My cmyk.cpp file was inside of a folder. When I got it out and placed it alongside the main.cpp file, the project file created by the Project Tool finally opened in XCode. Now I'm getting other errors, but at least the problem reported in this post is solved.

Thanks Riccardo, I will look into that.

That's great, Andreas. Thanks! I'll kludge on until then.

Thank you for your answer！@m_adam Although object go back normal after i clicked 'Redraw' (I guess that's the reason）,it isn't make sure problem is 'refresh the viewport'. 'refresh the viewport' can also fix Priority error result . 'Shift Priority Tag' just effective Expression.It can't help. After asking questions，i try to use Python Tag to replace 'Spline Deformer Object' ,because Python Tag have Priority.Fortunately，even though it looks very complicated, but everything become ok!

Hi, actually this is not a bug, but a design decision. Here at MAXON we have a pretty large code base and especially disabled code branches tend to age a lot faster. So we try to force developers to also maintain such code pieces or to at least think about, if they are still valuable and otherwise remove and thus cleanup the code base. Cheers, Andreas

Hi Riccardo! Thank you very very much for your detailed explanation. That helped me a lot and YEAHHHH....got it working Thanx in advance for your time! Best regards Andi

damn. totally didn't look there. sorry. Alfie
