@kbar said in Decoupling source from SDK project:

Since Maxon also updates the ProjectTool when a new version of C4D comes out and it may have new flags or optimazations and changes to the project structure for XCode and Visual Studio.

From what I can tell it's pretty stable, also I don't mind what someone else thinks my compiler optimisation flags should be.

Maintaining your own CMake version going forward for R20, R21, S22, RXX etc... would be a massive pain and just slow you down.

Not as painful as you think it might be, also not as slow.
Whatever floats your boat. :)

If you don't mind maintaining your own CMake (or similar) script, the sourceprocessor in the SDK allows to specify a target directory for the generated files from R21 onwards.

I would not exactly recommend going that way, but for me it beats using the project tool.

I guess this is a request.
Couldn't find anything in the SDK docs about it, would be useful to have.
