Error building the plugin with S24 and VS2019

[IRONIC3D]

Hi Valkaari

I am trying to build the plugin on S24 using VS2019 like the following:

msbuild "C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R24\plugins\HOT4D\project\hot4d.vcxproj" /p:configuration=release /p:platform=x64

but getting the following error repeatadly:

Trying to build by opening the project in VS2019 fails as well with the following error code:

This project doesn't contain the Configuration and Platform combination of Debug|Win32

Any advise on how to resolve this error is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,
You need to have a project directory. Unzip the sdk.zip that is in your cinema4D's directory. inside plugin you have a project directory. Change the projectdefinition.txt accordingly to include hot4D directory. Run the projecttool on the directory that contain your framework and your plugins directory.

Use the release mode for better performance.

Cheers,
Manuel
