Compiling for R20
-
Hello,
I'm trying to recompile my C4D plugin for R20 (Windows), and I'm having some issues.
Previously, I would first compile a static library for cinema.framework, and then add it
to my plugin project solution. But now, I can't even compile cinema.framework.I understand things have changed, and I've read this:
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DCPPSDK/html/page_maxonapi_getting_started_introduction.htmlAnd downloaded the Project Tool:
https://developers.maxon.net/?page_id=1118I ran it on this directory:
\frameworks\cinema.framework\projectI was assuming the project tool would create a solution file (.sln) for me, which I could
loade into VS 2015, and then compile a static library, but it only creates a .vcxproj file.Trying to load this .vcxproj into VS 2015 only gives me errors, and nothing gets loaded. So, I'm a bit confused and don't know where to go from here. Thanks.
Using:
Windows 7, 64-bit
Visual Studio 2015 Community
C++

I solved my problem here:
https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/10967/compiling-the-cinema-4d-r20-c-sdk-examplesI didn't realize I had to run the Project Tool on the entire SDK directory.
Maybe that thread should be a sticky at the top of the forums, because it makes more sense than the docs.

Hi,
glad you were able to solve your problem. We'll take this as a hint and see if we can improve our documentation in this regard.
Cheers,
