ArchiCAD 27.3001 download the new2/24/2024 Download and install Windows 7 SDK (I had to download the ISO file (~450MB) as the web installer would not install)Ĥ. Download and install Visual C++ Express 2008 and any available service packsģ. Download and install the correct API DevKit for your ArichCAD versionĢ. One thing to note, the process for using 64-bit in Express involves editing the registry so if you aren't confident with this I wouldn't suggest trying it.ġ. I'll post the steps I took to get it to work for future reference. I am using Windows 7 64-bit which made the process even more difficult as express versions don't support 64-bit out of the box. This was a very convoluted process though with no real explanations anywhere. Since starting this thread, and after many hours of tinkering, I have infact managed to build and load the examples using Visual C++ Express 2008. If GS want to encourage developers to create add-ons for their software, they need to at least update the developer environment to support software that is actually available. Hi Ralph, yes I agree it is always best to follow the requirements as closely as possible, but when the requirements call for a software package that is no longer available that gets a bit difficult. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could please get me started with an example of how to correctly open and build one of the example projects (as in which buttons to click to make it work), and any settings that I need to get up and running? If I compile the rc2 file separately I get a "cannot find windows.h" error. If I compile just the grc files separately, they succeed but don't seem to be of any use. If I try to build the whole solution, it comes up with an error like this.ġ>BSCMAKE: error BK1506 : cannot open file '.\debug\Attribute_Test.sbr': No such file or directory The documentation says that all the examples should build in Visual Studio 2005 Express, but I can't find anywhere exactly how to build them (coming from a beginners point of view) Once I can get something running I can learn from there. I have installed the Dev Kit 14.2550 and Visual C++ 2005 Express and read everything I can find on building the example projects but cannot get any examples to build (I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right). I am new to developing add-ons and also new to C++ (I have done programming in other languages before).
