I'm running xcode 5.0.2 on a mac osx10.9 with C4Dr14.  When I try to compile the sdk I get the following error.

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: can't create output file: /./lib_api_release.a (Permission denied)
Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool failed with exit code 1

Anyone offer any help?

You shouldn't be doing any builds within the Applications folder - it is write protected!
Copy the plugins and resources folders from Cinema 4D to your Users folder somewhere and build from there.

When I move the build out of the plugins directory, the linker can't find the c4d.h files.  In previous versions of c4d I always built in the applications folder.

Tried to do the same thing but with R13 and OSX 10.8 this week. Noticed the / in front of the filename? It wants to copy it into the root directory of your hard drive. The solution is very simple. Just change the install directory to . and it should work.

P.S. on my system i also had to correct the directory for intermediate build results. Was very easy as well. It is all right in the build options. I set mine to /Users/mwelter/Libraries/Dev/Blablabla/whatever/the/XCode/default/is

Howdy,

Or just change your permissions. The way I see it is, "How dare my computer tell me , the administrator, that I don't have permission!" 

Adios,
