Hi Paul,

Are you also linking to the standard libraries?

Are you also linking to the standard libraries?

No, I am linking as per the AC17 settings for my project which. Libs included are:

octane.lib
kernel32.lib
user32.lib
gdi32.lib
winspool.lib
comdlg32.lib
advapi32.lib
shell32.lib
ole32.lib
oleaut32.lib
uuid.lib
odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib

I checked the AC18 samples (Geometry_Test) and they were not linking to the default libs. My settings are attached.

I managed to get it to link using INCLUDE default libraries, and then excluding stlport_vc7.lib and msvcrt.lib.

Whilst the plugin shows in the Add-On Manager, when selected, the AddOn Info box is blank, and CheckEnvironment, RegisterInterface and Initialize are not being called. So the plugin does not work until AC18.

Again, the plugin is working fine in AC14, 15, 16 an 17.

Hi Paul,

Could you please check both the AC17 and the AC18 add-on with the dependency checker? The important part is the list of exported functions, and the modules it depends on.

A trick here is to copy the add-on beside ArchiCAD, then run the dependency checker -- this way ArchiCAD's modules won't show up red in the module list.

Hi Akos

API-MS-WIN-CORE-PRIVATEPROFILE-L1-1-1.DLL *
API-MS-WIN-CORE-KERNEL32-PRIVATE-L1-1-1.DLL *
API-MS-WIN-SHUTDOWN-L1-1-1.DLL *
API-MS-WIN-SERVICE-PRIVATE-L1-1-1.DLL *
EXT-MS-WIN-NTUSER-UICONTEXT-EXT-L1-1-0.DLL *

are show as missing, however they also show as missing in AC17.

IESHIMS.DLL also shows as missing, and it appears in the AC17 folder, but copying that DLL into the AC18 folder did not resolve the problem.

Hi Paul,

Best, Akos

Is there any up to date page on the DevKit with e.g. system requirements (compiler versions?)

E.g. which version of Visual Studio is required on Windows?


I've tried the Xcode template today and the generated project seems to be intended to be placed in the Devkit installation folder, as the paths to the required frameworks and the header search paths use "../../Support/Frameworks"

It worked when I move the projectfolder into a subfolder of the Devkit installation folder.

Just seeing if there had been any progress on this issue pls. I sent these files 3 weeks ago, but no response to date.
