The InDesign SDK is shipped with number of sample plugins which you can build and have a look at the source code. Have a look at the sample plugin projects placed in the folder

"(Path of the InDesign SDK)\build\win\prj". In this folder there are projects for a lot of sample plugins which demonstrate programming different aspects of InDesign, pick up any of these plugins and study the code. You can find more details on these plugins in the chm file shipped with sdk.

For the start i would recommend you start with the writefishprice plugin.

whether i starts to work with dolly.sh and i have get the below error in the terminal window.

The projects for all SDK examples are located in SDK/builld/mac/prj

Be warned that moving the project file to a different location, i.e. your source tree, is not trivial.

To compile the project, you'd also need a matching Xcode version, the CS6 SDK release note specifies version 3.2.5 and OSX 10.6 . Xcode 3 will also run on OSX 10.7 (preferable as it can install in virtual machines), that 10.6 is more about the base SDK (versions of header files and frameworks).

Dolly is not required for building plugins, it is just a source generator.
