Error Messages/Building Plug-ins with Eclipse SDK or VCExpress 2005
Hi,
I am an newbie in building InDesign-Plugins. I have installed the Adobe InDesign Plug-in Editor on my Windows XP PC (InDesign CS3 SDK, Eclipse, JRE 1.5, Visual Studio 2005 (VCExpress Edition for C++)).
I tried to build one of the example Plug-ins with Eclipse. After startting the build process of the "transparencyeffectui"-example or the "DollyXs"-example the following message appears:
Buildfile: F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\build.xml win:
[echo] Now compiling FR file F:\adobe_indesign_cs3_products_sdk_503win\source\sdksamples\dollytest\Dolly.fr for win
[delete] Deleting: F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\ODFRC.res
[echo] FR Compilation Complete: Attempting to build C++ files...
BUILD FAILED F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\build.xml:66: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "D:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 5\Common7\IDE\devenv.com": CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
Total time: 485 milliseconds
The compiler did't start because the file "devenv.com" is missing in the "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/Common7/IDE"-directory. The free "Visual Studio Express Edition" is delivered withot this file.
Where can i get this file? Or is it possible to change the exec line in the built-xml-file to get the Compiler started?
So I started the VCExpress-Programm an opened the transparencyeffetui-Project-File to start the build process. But again i got an error message:
1>------ Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: TransparencyEffectUI, Konfiguration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Performing Custom Build Step 1>Compiling... 1>VCPlugInHeaders.cpp 1>f:\adobe_indesign_cs3_products_sdk_503win\source\precomp\common\WShukHeaders.h(70) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory 1>Build log was saved at "file://f:\adobe_indesign_cs3_products_sdk_503win\build\win\objD\TransparencyEffectUI\BuildLog.htm" 1>TransparencyEffectUI - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
==== Erstellen: 0 erfolgreich, Fehler bei 1, 0 aktuell, 0 übersprungen ====
There is no "windows.h"-file in the SDK directory. I tried to include all available SDK-"inculde"-directories to the VC++ directories in the option menue in VCExpress but i got the same error message.
Any ideas how to get the plug-in build with Eclipse or Visual Studio Express 2005 (C++)?
