Hello,
I have simple question.
Error message is
"D:\git_repo\Adobe_InDesign_CS6_Plugin_SDK_413_Win\Adobe InDesign CS6 Plugin SDK\build\win\objr\BasicDialog\*.idrc not found.
merge_res.cmd - calling ConcatRes
1 file is copy.
ConcatRes skipped since ".\..\objr\BasicDialog"\BscDlg.fres is an empty file".
I use visual studio 2010 Ultimate SP1 version and windows 7 64bit.
How to sdk6 compile??

Hi,
This normally means something is wrong with some paths. What I tend to do to help diagnose is temporarily modify merge_res.cmd so it displays the paths it is getting. It's been a while since I needed to do this, so I can only describe the broad strokes in what to do. If you open merge_res.cmd in a text editor, you edit it and add some additional info:
I had a quick look, and I noticed these lines:
rem echo %RESFILE%
rem echo %FRESFILE%
rem echo %TEMPRESFILE%
I'd uncomment them, and then try again. With a little luck, your Output window in Visual Studio will show what each of these are. If nothing appears (I am not 100% sure the echo-s from the .cmd will make it to the Output Window), make it something like
echo %RESFILE% > C:\tmp\merge_res_log.txt
echo %FRESFILE% >> C:\tmp\merge_res_log.txt
echo %TEMPRESFILE% >> C:\tmp\merge_res_log.txt
You can also throw in some additional things:
echo %1%
echo %2%
echo %3%
to help figure out what is happening.
Then you need to check your project file and properties in Visual Studio. I often forego Visual Studio, and instead open the .vxproj project file and the various .props files in a text editor, which makes it much easier to get an overview. Somewhere in there is an incorrect path setting.
Hope that helps. It's not possible to give you a simple 'do this and that fixes it' response: too many variables involved. If you would like to have a more in-depth discussion, a number of InDesign SDK developers will be at PePcon 2015; I'll be there!
