Alan Boughey Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am just looking to get into plug-in development. I note that the Nemetschek website says that "The Vectorworks SDK requires Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows development and/or Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Macintosh development" The Metrowerks Codewarrior for Mac is no longer available or supported and has not been for some time. Are alternate C++ products supported. If so, can anyone advise which packages are suitable? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I have zero experience here, but, Xcode surely? Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think that reference DEFINITELY needs to be updated. Use Xcode. We do. Quote Link to comment
Alan Boughey Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Xcode would be the obvious choice. I agree that the website reference needs to be updated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The programming language also needs to be updated from C++ to C#. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The programming language also needs to be updated from C++ to C#. When this happens, I am certain that many programmers will begin creating things for VW! C++ is really holding people back! Quote Link to comment
Ryan McCuaig Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Yes, Xcode is what you're after. Pay special attention to the setting up of targets, and locating header files. A lot of the build errors you'll get are related to Xcode not being able to locate hard-coded paths to headers and static libraries. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vlado Posted November 8, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 8, 2010 Also, pay attention to the Xcode version ... for VW2011 development you have to use 3.2 Quote Link to comment
