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),

Microsoft Visual C++ (Win32 target), OpenWatcom (Win32 target),

and mingw32 (Win32 target).

A Photoshop SDK is required (available from Adobe Systems,

https://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk.html ).

The SDK was also distributed with Photoshop 6.0 and earlier.

The source code has been built with SDK 6.0, CS2, CS3 beta, and CC 2017 but older

versions should work, too.

(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.)

The dependency "telegraphics_common" is available here

http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/common/

Revision 84 (dated 9 October 2019) is included in this repository

to simplify the build process.

Mac notes

---------

Before attempting to build, you must edit the makefiles

("FilterFoundry.make" for MPW), or change your

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

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

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

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

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

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/MoreFiles/

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 analyzer 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.

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

as they produce much smaller executables.

MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) runs on PowerPC and

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

Windows notes

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

BUILDING WITH VISUAL STUDIO

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

	  and it can compile the 32-bit and 64-bit plugins for Windows.

	* Download: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/vs/community/

	* To build in Windows with Visual Studio (IDE or command line), see the visual_studio

	  subdirectory and notes (README.TXT).

	* Most recently tested with Visual C++ 2019 with Adobe Photoshop SDK CC 2017

BUILDING WITH OPEN WATCOM

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

	  supported by Adobe.

	* Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openwatcom/files/

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

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

	* Most recently tested with Open Watcom 1.9 with Adobe Photoshop SDK CC 2017

BUILDING WITH MINGW32

	* Mingw32 can be hosted on virtually any UNIX or Linux system, or under Windows.

	* Download: http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download

	* Before attempting to build, you must edit the file "Makefile".
