Hello. I am new to RealBasic and am trying to get plugins to work. I
downloaded the SDK and then was able to open and build the TestPlugin codewarrior project. I then took the Test Plugin PPC icon and put it in my realbasic plugins folder. So this example has the add5(x) function in it as you know. Shouldn't I be able to just refer to this function if the plugin is available or do I have to do something additional?

Did you restart REALbasic? And are you using the Classic version? The
Carbon version of the IDE won't load PPC-only plugins. On Tuesday, September 24, 2002, at 11:20 PM, Scott Griebel wrote: > Hello. I am new to RealBasic and am trying to get plugins to work.

I am indeed using the Carbon version so that must be it. However, when I go
to try to create a new target for carbon, I was hoping it would be obvious, but it wasn¹t. I see that the source list is: PluginMain.cpp TestPlugin.cpp InterfaceLib MSL_Rntime_PPC.lib TestPlugin Resources Do I need to add some Carbon Lib? How can I find out what it is called? If that is not right, how can I create the Carbon plugin? I apologize in advance if what I am asking is very difficult.

That's why there's a "Targeting Carbon" section of the documentation. But it's also why I suggested starting with one of the newer samples, which are already fully cross-platform. Best, - Joe |

Is this true? If so, it sound like a major bug to me - wouldn't that mean that you have to build multiplatform plugins to use them under OS X?

But it'd be much nicer of you to make it multi-platform, so that it can be used by users of the IDE on other platforms. Cheers, - Joe |

You should now have an add5() function, just as if it were a built-in function. If it doesn't work, then my guess is that it's one of the following: 1. You've built a PPC-only plugin but you're running the Carbon IDE. 2. You're running the Classic IDE, but you've put the plugin in the wrong place (i.e. it's not really installed). Incidentally, the Test plugin isn't the easiest one to start with. I recommend you try one of the newer samples, Dial Control or Long Processor. Cheers, - Joe |
