System Requirements

 
This Developer Kit contains all the necessary support to develop your add-on either on Windows or Macintosh. This development kit also fully supports cross platform development.

On a PowerPC Macintosh you need at least CodeWarrior Pro 9 installed. (We have successful experiments with CW Pro 10.) On a MacTel Macintosh the necessary build environment is Xcode 2.3 and GCC 4.0. (Note, that ArchiCAD 10 is a Mach-O Carbon application, and the add-ons are Mach-O bundles. Add-on developers must adapt the corresponding environment and rules.) You need to compile your add-ons with CW Pro 9 on a PowerPC Macintosh to ensure full compatibility with ArchiCAD.

On Windows you need Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 installed. Only the x86, 32 bit architecture is supported.

Libraries and header files mainly assume that you are working with the above systems, however there are some possibilities to move your development to other environments on Windows. Refer to the Non Visual C++ Development document for more details.
