SDK for CS3

Report · Jan 31, 2008

Is there a new SDK for DreamWeaver CS3? Now that it is running native on the IntelMac, there should be a matching SDK so those extension writers who used part of the C API can recompile their extensions.

I've been checking periodically, but the latest I can find is the SDK for MX 2004 and DW 8.

Thanks,

c'mon, Adobe. How many years has it been now that Macs have been on the Intel platform? At least have the decency to reply to these questions.

FYI: These are user to user forums and not monitored by Adobe.

The c-level extensibility was never part of the SDK that I recall, it was always separate. I've not attempted to make something like this from scratch in so long that I don't recall where the source files were stored. Perhaps they are mentioned in Live Docs.

Danilo,

The SDKs definitely include the C-API.

I guess we may be the only extension developer to have actually used it (needed to generate graphic files). And, unfortunately, the old CodeWarrior based MX2004 one doesn't fly for the Universal Binary CS3.

If this is not the place to ask after the CS3 SDK, where is the right place?

FWIW: I didn't say that I don't use the c-level api, just that I've not built anything from the basic source files provided by Macromedia in quite a long time.

As for the SDK and the source files, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place for them as part of the SDK. I've just installed the last available SDK, DWSDK1.mxp that is listed on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1009962

I checked through all the files and I don't see anything related to the c-level api except within the PDF files that are installed as part of that MXP, and they explain what the various functions do. The Extending DW PDF mentions looking in the DW install folder for Samples/Extending/ and look at the files there, and there is a zip file containing files that I assume are usable on a Windows system, and a dmg file for Macs (this folder is installed when Dreamweaver is installed, not installed by the SDK). I don't have a Mac so I can't see what is inside of the extending_dw.dmg that is present. But given your question, I'll assume that it doesn't have the necessary files for you to make something for a universal binary easily.

If you're not getting the sample files you need, maybe check a Mac programming newsgroup, there may be folks out there that can get you started on that route using the current files as a starting point.

Yes, the C API works on IntelMac. Take a look at the samples in the
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 install folder:
Sample_files/Extending/extending_dw.dmg

Let us know if you have any more questions.
