Building the Filter Foundry plugin for Photoshop

------------------------------------------------

Notes on source code

--------------------

Source code, makefiles and IDE projects under GPL license are provided

for MPW (Classic & Carbon PowerPC targets), CodeWarrior 7

(Classic & Carbon PowerPC, Win32, 68K targets) and mingw32 (Win32 target).

A Photoshop SDK is required (available from Adobe Systems, http://www.adobe.com/).

The SDK was also distributed with Photoshop 6.0 and earlier.

The source has been built with SDK 6.0, CS2 and CS3 beta, but older

versions can be used.

(If building with SDK v4, edit 68k.r, carbon.r, classic.r, and PiMI_68k.r

to remove references to "PIResDefines.h", "PiPL.r" and "PiMI.r" and replace

with a single #include "PIGeneral.r"; also remove "fmtCanWriteTransparency"

from PiPL_common.r.)

Before attempting to build, you must edit the makefiles

("FilterFoundry.make" for MPW, "Makefile" for mingw32 or OS X), or change your

CodeWarrior project's access paths, to reflect the SDK's installed location.

In order to build the Carbon plugin with an SDK prior to version 7.0,

it is necessary to edit the SDK file :PhotoshopAPI:Resources:PIPL.r

as follows:

1. find the line "case CodePowerPC:"

2. duplicate the next 15 lines

3. in the copy only, change "case CodePowerPC:" to "case CodeCarbonPowerPC:"

   and change the 5 occurrences of "pwpc" to "ppcb"

Photoshop 7.0, CS and CS2 will load Carbon/PEF plugins built in this manner.

Only CodeWarrior and MPW can build these.

Photoshop CS2 also supports Mach-O format plugins. For details on how

these are built, see the Makefile (target "osx"). 

Photoshop CS3 supports "universal" (or "fat") plugins having native code

for both PowerPC and Intel architectures. The provided Makefile can build

a "universal" plugin if you have the CS3 "Beta" SDK (use target "fat").

Note that building Mach-O plugins requires Apple's Developer Tools

be installed (from the DVD that came with your Mac, or download from

http://developer.apple.com/ if you have an ADC login).

Mac notes

---------

The Mac build requires Apple's MoreFiles library, which can be obtained via

http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Files/MoreFiles.htm

Depending on how the source files were extracted, it may be necessary to set

the correct Mac file types before attempting to build. In MPW, this can

be done as follows. First set the current directory to the Filter Foundry

source directory, then:

	setfile -t TEXT Å.[chrly] Å.make Å.rc ::common:tt:Å ::common:adobeplugin:Å

This can also be necessary after regenerating y.tab.c and lex.yy.c.

These files are generated from the parser and lexical analyser definitions,

parser.y and lexer.l, by a UNIX Terminal (not MPW!) command such as:

	make y.tab.c lex.yy.c

If building with MPW, finished binaries are left in the "debug" directory;

these are good for testing and debugging, as they can be updated

and re-run without having to re-launch Photoshop.

The finished binary, which contains executables for Classic and Carbon,

is left in the "dist" directory.

Windows notes

-------------

BUILDING WITH VISUAL STUDIO:

To build with Visual Studio, you have to use nmake.

Currently, there is no Visual Studio project file.

To compile:

1. First download Flex and Bison from https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/

   and unpack them on your disk.

2. Download the Adobe Photoshop SDK from https://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk.html

   and unpack it on your disk.

3. Download the telegraphics common library from http://telegraphics.com.au/svn/common/trunk/

   and unpack it on your disk.

4. Adjust paths in the nmake.mak and nmake64.mak files.

5. For building the 32 bit plugin:

	5.1 Run "x86 Native Tools Command Promt" from the start menu

	5.2 Navigate to the Filter Foundry dir and run

		nmake /f nmake.mak clean

		nmake /f nmake.mak

   For building the 64 bit plugin:

	5.1 Run "x64 Native Tools Command Promt" from the start menu

	5.2 Navigate to the Filter Foundry dir and run

		nmake /f nmake64.mak clean

		nmake /f nmake64.mak

   You can use the script vc_make_3264.bat to build both 32- and 64-bit with one click.

   Please first edit this batch file and adjust the Visual Studio path.

Troubleshooting:

- If "rc" can't be found, install the Windows 10 SDK, and then copy

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\...\x64 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86

  see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43847542/rc-exe-no-longer-found-in-vs-2015-command-prompt

- If lex.yy.c can't be found, check the flex command (it generates lex.yy.c)

- If nmake gives the error message "makefile(28) : fatal error U1000: Syntax error: ")" missing in macro invocation"

  then run nmake with the parameter "/f nmake.mak" or "/f nmake64.mak"

  (nmake calls Makefile by default, which is not optimized for nmake)

- If you run into any problems, try "nmake /f nmake.mak clean" followed by "nmake /f nmake.mak",

  or for 64 bit: "nmake /f nmake64.mak clean" followed by "nmake /f nmake64.mak"

  It is necessary to run the "clean" command when switching between 32bit and 64 bit building.

Most recently tested with Visual C++ 2017 with Adobe Photoshop SDK CC 2017.

BUILDING WITH OPEN WATCOM:

To build in Windows with the OpenWatcom IDE, see the wpj

subdirectory and notes (README.TXT) kindly provided by Peter Heckert and Daniel Marschall.

Development systems

-------------------

While a CodeWarrior 7 project is provided, MPW and mingw32 are recommended 

as they produce much smaller executables.

Mingw32 (http://www.mingw.org/) can be hosted on virtually any UNIX or

Linux system, or under Windows.

MPW (http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/) runs on PowerPC and

68K Macs under Mac OS 9 or earlier, or Classic under OS X.

For Windows, Visual Studio works best (the community edition is even free),

and it can compile the 32-Bit and 64-Bit plugin for Windows.

OpenWatcom can also be used, but only for 32 Bit, and it is officially not

supported by Adobe.
