Building SpReticle for Maya 2014 successfully in Windows

[Vivek C Reddy]

Follow these to get the plugin to build successfully . 

This is inside Visual studio 2012

Install the below files in appropriate locations:

http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/GL/glext.h

In openGLrenderer.h add this gl\glext.h 

#if defined (OSMac_MachO_)

#      include <OpenGL/gl.h>

#else

#      include <GL/GL.h>

#include <gl\glext.h>

#endif

And then I need to define NOMINMAX . Add this to pre-processor directives , doing this tell visual studio not to use its  min and max ,but that it should use the ones in std . 

#define SOURCE_MEL_SCRIPT       true   in defines.h  making it to 1

also in defines.h make it       #define USE_MUIDRAWMANAGER       0

  

In OpenGLrender.cpp 

change this 

    FROM THIS      TextureGlyph *glyphs[numChars] ;

       TO      vector< TextureGlyph*> glyphs(numChars);

        //TextureGlyph *glyphs[] = new TextureGlyph[numChars] ;

    FROM THIS   double kerning[numChars];

     TO  std:: vector< double> kerning(numChars);

        //double *kerning = new double[numChars];

        //double kerning= new double[numChars];

You should be able to get the plugin to build properly, let me know if you have any issues . In case if you want to download the plugin for Maya 2014 , use this link to download a 

working .mll file

Thanks Vivek you're tips were appreciated!

We were experiencing some crazy slowdowns working in VS that were caused by intellisense parsing the very large font.h file. To work around it our developer made a stripped down version of font.h (attached) that intellisense could parse as we were working. Then once it was building successfully, replacing back in the original one.

Also in the PreProcessor definitions add REQUIRE_IOSTREAM 

Add opengl32.lib to library list.

add

#pragma warning( disable : 4309 4305 )

to prevent reporting of millions of warnings that were slowing build and creating 200MB build log

attached compiles for 2013.5 and 2014

hi vivek could you compile it for maya 2013 x32 bit ?

[Matt Tucker]

This was not working for me.  When I try and load the .mll from the Plug-in Manager:

// Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : U:/matt/dev/ate_toolset/thirdparty/plugins/maya2014/sonyRectile.mll

The specified module could not be found.

Here is the plugin for Maya 2014

[Vivek C Reddy]

Sure, I will build it over the weekend and post the link for it. 

[Vivek C Reddy]

And Matt the Below build is for Maya 2014,  Windows-64 bit 

[Matt Tucker]

Yes, I saw the link in your original post.  I tried that.  Did you see my reply?
When I added to the plugin path and tried to load the plugin it gave me this error:

// Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : U:/matt/dev/ate_toolset/thirdparty/plugins/maya2014/sonyRectile.mll

The specified module could not be found.

Hi Ravi, 

I'm not compiling anything.  Vivek has supplied an .mll that's already been compiled for Maya 2014 on Windows x64, as stated.
