You have Visual C++ 6.0? Anything different will not work. Anything newer (e.g.: VC++ 2000 .net) may require modifications to the SDK source code.
You compiled the cinemasdk examples in the Plugins folder?
Need more input.

nah they all crap out on me too. not sure what it is, maybe it is vs.net 2003 but no way i can drop back to 6 :S
if i try to compile the libs project i get this

Ah! THAT problem. Unlike VC++ 6.0, VS.Net does not allow default argument values in method definitions. For example (from the docs where I'm currently looking) :
LONG Init(const Filename & name, LONG frame= -1, Bool* ismovie = NULL);
The stuff in red is not allowed. You will have to go through the SDK _api folder and remove ALL of these. Then you will need to specify the default value in your own source (and the SDK example source) if none is given.

well it compiled if i changed 1 line
LONG (iNgonBase::*FindPolygon)(LONG id, LONG l=-1);
so then at some point in my own source what? ie. how do i set that to be =- coz its a argument in a function right?
also i have a _api_v8_deb.lib which i presume i can change to release mode and get the norm .lib
the files in the _api folder are the std include files i use when creating a project? sorry for the stupid q's but the documentation seems to be a bit thin on the ground, also why no samples come with it apart from the .lib source -

That may appear to fix the situation, but it may just be bypassing the compiler as anything useful.
If you use that method and you wanted to use the default argument, you'd do this:
iNgonBase->FindPolygon(ID, -1);
instead of this:
iNgonBase->FindPolygon(ID);
With default arguments, the second form is legal (the second argument is automatically assigned the default value -1). Without them, it will cause a compiler error - guaranteed!
Not sure about .net, but you change the active build configuration in VC++ 6.0 from debug to release. So, yes, you want to change that and use that lib when not debugging.
In your Cinema 4D installation there is a "Plugins" folder. Inside of that is a folder "cinema4dsdk". This contains examples for various plugin types, with workspace and source.

Also, all the samples compile and run within c4d so iguess while i'm at work today i can read the c++ doc's fromt his site and maybe browse a simple sample

But that´s the best way to get into plugin coding for Cinema 4D. I started like this, all others seem to have started like this. You should start like this.
