Copy plugin from examples - AEFX_SuiteHelper.c

Hi

 

I'm trying to copy the supervisor folder from the sdk examples to another location, to use that as the basis for my own plugin. I have also copied the folders "Headers", "Resources" and "Util". In Microsoft VS I have changed the paths under properties>c/c++>General>Additional Include Directories to fit the new locations for those folders.

I am still getting this error: "Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\Util\AEFX_SuiteHelper.c': No such file or directory". Where can I change this filepath?

 

Thanks,

Jakob

some AE SDK files are improted in the project so the "include directories" don't apply to thier paths. dig thorugh your project folder in vs and find the missing files. you can either re-import them, or as you have already solved the issue, copy to the same relative path from where the vs project file is located.

that is typically ture from .c and .cpp files, while .h and .hpp files are searched from on the include directories paths.

I got it to work by moving it, but still maintaining the original file structure. I guess I will live with that until I become wiser. 🙂
