||
| 21 | After installing all these reboot, or set the environment manually |
||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | How to get filterfoundry: |
||
| 24 | =========================== |
||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Make a directory anywhere for telegraphics plugins, remember, no spaces in pathname |
||
| 27 | cd into the directory. |
||
| 28 | type |
||
| 29 | svn checkout http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/common/trunk common |
||
| 30 | svn checkout http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/filterfoundry/trunk filterfoundry |
||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | How to build: |
||
| 33 | =============== |
||
| 34 | Hint: |
||
| 35 | If you never used Watcom to build Photoshop plugins best start with the |
||
| 36 | countcolours plugin and ensure it compiles. Read the HowTo. |
||
| 37 | Look for it at http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/ or get it with |
||
| 38 | svn checkout http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/countcolours/trunk countcolours |
||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | Open filterfoundry.wpj in Watcom's IDE. |
||
| 41 | In menu File->Before set the path to your Photoshop SDK. |
||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Thats all, you can build the project then. |
||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | Remarks |
||
| 46 | ========= |
||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | flex and bison are currently invoked as batch process. |
||
| 49 | This is defined in the menu File->Before. |
||
| 50 | The ide fails to build the project when filenames contain more than one dot. |
||
| 51 | Therefore the output files of bison and lex are copied. |
||
| 52 | There is no error checking done. |
||
| 53 | Probably it would be better to write a small wmake file for this purpose. |
||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | If there are problems building or using the watcom generated plugin please |
||
| 56 | inform me. |
||
| 57 | I dont regulary use filterfoundry but I checked all examples if they work. |
||
| 58 | I used Photoline 32, available at www.pl32.com to check it, because it has very |
||
| 59 | flexible configuration (multiple paths) for plugins, very good plugin compatibility, |
||
| 60 | (16 and 8 bit) and fast startup time. |
