Proper way to generate 64-bit Windows plugin?

[Steve Lane]

Hi All:

 

I've generated my custom plugins many times successfully, but am running into trouble generating a 64-bit version.

 

In order to do so, I downloaded the latest SM file and imported all of my custom function data (meaning the modules, inout and output variables and jar file entries).

 

I go through the plugin creation process, specify the output file, and am then told I'll be prompted to find the location of the 64-bit Windows plugin. But that prompt never happens, and the script returns instantly. No plugin is created.

 

Stepping through in the debugger, I can see that the ultimate call to SMCreatePlugin looks correct -- but the call returns instantly with a ?.

 

Did I miss something in the docs about platform? Can I only generate a 64-bit Windows plugin from Windows itself? I'm trying this on OS X Mavericks.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Do you have a toolchain for Windows present?

 

Usually it's simpler to compile Windows stuff on Windows, and Mac stuff on Mac.
