I have some problem to create a structure project to work with Mac.
In windows I usually put my plugin directory inside the plugins folder of cinema.
In Mac (snow Leopard version) seems impossible to copy inside this folder!
For my test with V11 I used the demo of cinema unzipped inside my user folder, and in this case I was able to copy inside PLUGINS folder and compile properly.
But with 11.5, cinema is installed inside Application folder and the PLUGINS directory is inaccessible.
To solve I copied my plugin folder inside the Preferences folder of cinema (Library\Preferences\....\plugins\) but now I'm not able to link the _libs of cinema (cinema4d resource api).
To solve I changed the C4d_Root user-defined to point to the 11.5 folder, but this doesn't solve!
Can someone explain me what i have to do?

Thank's in advanced
Lorenzo

Can't you just copy/move the whole Cinema 4D folder from Applications to your own (develop) directory? From there you can compile from inside the usual plugins folder.
At least, that's what I do..

I was afraid to do this! :-)
But if is it possible and I didn't find any better solution, I will follow this path!

Thank's Scrooge McDuck!

This is definitely the way to go. You can copy the entire C4D folder, or just create a new folder in your users directory (name it what you like), then copy the plugins and resource folders from the C4D folder in Applications into that new folder.

In agreement here as well. I always create a folder in my users folder for the Cinema 4D version and copy over the resource and plugins folders. To make access to other resources easy I also copy the modules folder into the resource folder modules contents - on a Mac you might need to do this carefully so as not to replace the resource folder. Then my plugin project is created in the plugins folder there.

I just wish Xcode had a Post-build option like Visual Studio which is used to copy to production - that is, copy the res and plugin files to the live Cinema 4D installs and run C4D for immediate testing after a build.

Robert -
Regarding post-build, you actually can do this in Xcode too:
----------------------
1. right-click the target in question
2. choose Add > New Build Phase > New Run Script Build Phase
3. double-click the new Run Script target
4. enter the shell you want to use ( I use /bin/tcsh )
5. write your script
----------------------
There is also a 'Copy Files' build phase too, but I have never tried that - I prefer to script it like in VS.
Cheers,
