Hi,
does anyone know where I could find the SDK 13.061 recommended by Maxon to build plugins for C4D R14 without these symbol stripping problems ??

We can't update our plugins on MacOS for now because it crashes C4D at startup...

Any help would very appreciated.

The SDK 13.061 is the SDK that comes with R13.061. Update your installed CINEMA R13 to this version.

Thanks, but I have another question: what is the address of the update server? By default I have bugslife.maxon.de:80. Is it correct ?

- Use XCode 3.1.x only if you want to create plugins for R12 and with the R12 SDK. Check the compiler/linker log for messages indicating that stripping doesn't work anymore and use "nm" to verify that new/delete isn't exported. Don't use XCode 3.2.x or newer to create plugins with the R12 SDK.

I got a system set up now that I downgraded to use XCode 3.1.4 so I can do as you indicated above. It's for compiling a plugin which doesn't need any SDK functionality above R12 and that way we have one binary distributable for R12-R14. Doing as you advised still doesn't seem to work, though. I used the R12.48 SDK and there are still new and delete operators getting exported.

Did this work for anyone else?

Then it might have already been broken in XCode 3.1.4; can't say for sure, as I have neither the required OS nor this XCode version to check - you should check the build log for this message:

"[…] nmedit: removing global symbols from a final linked no longer supported. […]"

If it is there, the XCode version you're using was already broken.

What I can say for sure is: We used XCode 3.1 (3.1; not 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 or 3.1.4) to build R12 and checking the plugins/modules distributed with R12 shows, that symbol stripping was working there. If you can't get rid of the new/delete symbols, then DON'T use this plugin with R13 or R14 (instead build an extra version based on the 13.061 SDK that can be used with R13 & R14).

Best regards,

Wilfried

OK, I'm lost. I tried several combinations of Xcode and project files (even the projects that come with the c4dsdk project) and I consistently failed to compile a single dylib that did *not* export new and delete. Is there any Xcode Wizz here that is close to either Düsseldorf, Berlin or Munich and could have a (paid) day to spare to figure this out with me?
