| BUILDING FILTER FOUNDRY ON VISUAL STUDIO |
| by Daniel Marschall |
| |
| Most recently tested with Visual Studio 2019 with Adobe Photoshop SDK CC 2017 |
| |
| |
| Prerequisites: |
| ================ |
| |
| 1) Visual Studio / C++ |
| There is a free "Community Edition" available here: |
| https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/vs/community/ |
| |
| 2) Flex and Bison |
| Download the tools here: |
| https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/ |
| Put the 2 EXE files somewhere on your disk, e.g. |
| D:\FilterFoundry\win_flex_bison\win_bison.exe |
| D:\FilterFoundry\win_flex_bison\win_flex.exe |
| |
| 3) Adobe Photoshop SDK |
| Available on some Photoshop CDs, or can be downloaded at |
| https://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk.html |
| Put it somewhere on your disk, e.g. |
| D:\FilterFoundry\adobe_photoshop_sdk_cc_2017_win\ |
| |
| 4) SVN client |
| Get the command line svn client: |
| https://tortoisesvn.net/index.de.html |
| Make sure you include the command line tools during the install. |
| |
| 5) Windows SDK |
| Download the Windows SDK here: |
| https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk |
| and install the following components: |
| - Windows SDK for Desktop C++ x86 Apps |
| - Windows SDK for Desktop C++ amd64 Apps |
| |
| |
| How to get FilterFoundry: |
| =========================== |
| |
| Make a directory anywhere (e.g. D:\FilterFoundry\) for telegraphics plugins, |
| remember, no spaces in pathname, then open the command line and type: |
| cd /d "D:\FilterFoundry\" |
| svn checkout https://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/common/trunk common |
| svn checkout https://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/filterfoundry/trunk filterfoundry |
| |
| In our example, you should now have the directories |
| D:\FilterFoundry\common\ |
| D:\FilterFoundry\filterfoundry\ |
| |
| |
| Build setup using the IDE: |
| ============================ |
| |
| 1. Open the visual_studio\FilterFoundry.sln |
| |
| 2. Adjust the paths in the project settings: |
| a) Path to Adobe plugin SDK (in C/C++ category, and Resource category) |
| b) Path to win_flex and win_bison (pre-build-events) |
| c) Your specific version of the Windows SDK |
| |
| 3. You can now compile the x86 and x64 plugin inside the IDE. |
| The output files are: |
| D:\FilterFoundry\Source\visual_studio\Win32\(Release|Debug)\FilterFoundry.8bf |
| D:\FilterFoundry\Source\visual_studio\Win64\(Release|Debug)\FilterFoundry64.8bf |
| |
| |
| Build setup using command line/nmake: |
| ======================================= |
| |
| 1. Adjust the paths in the visual_studio\nmake.mak and visual_studio\nmake64.mak files: |
| a) Path to Adobe plugin SDK (in C/C++ category, and Resource category) |
| b) Path to win_flex and win_bison (pre-build-events) |
| |
| 2. Edit visual_studio\vc_make_3264.bat: Change the Visual Studio path to the one you have on your system. |
| |
| 3. You can now use the script visual_studio\vc_make_3264.bat to build both x86 and x64 with one click. |
| The output files are: |
| D:\FilterFoundry\Source\visual_studio\FilterFoundry.8bf |
| D:\FilterFoundry\Source\visual_studio\FilterFoundry64.8bf |
| |
| |
| 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) in the project properties |
| or the mak-file, respectively. |
| |
| - 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 written for the 'normal' "make" and not "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. |
| |
| - Since the RC files have a complex structure, you cannot edit the resources inside the IDE. |
| You need to edit the *.rc files manually. |
