Problems getting started

Hi All,

I can not get a simple Hello World example working such as the one described in the getting started guide.

My current setup:

OSX 10.8.4

Xcode 4.6.3

AI CS6 SDK

I already tried copying MacOSX10.6.sdk into /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs and then changing the Base SDK of the project and the target to OSX 10.6.

In the HelloWorld example I get: Incompatible SDK for ARC in target HelloWorld: macosx10.6

In the EmptyPanel example I get: Adobe Illustrator CS6 SDK/samplecode/common/includes/IllustratorSDK.h:34: Carbon.h: No such file or directory

I also already tried just installing Xcode 3.2 (the supported version) but that is not possible on a modern mac.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Tom

Hi Tom,

InDesign CS6 SDK does not support development with Xcode 3. I recommend you have a look at InDesign CC SDK, where all the sample plugins have been migrated to Xcode 4.5

You can find it here -> http://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks, indeed with the Illustrator CC SDK I am able to successfully compile a plugin.

However, is it possible to make these plugins backward compatible with Illustrator CS6? In my test that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks again,

Tom

No, you can't make a single binary that runs in both CC & CS6 any more. That ended with CS6 unfortunately. You'd need to recompile the plugin with the CS6 SDK.
