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 Macintosh you need CodeWarrior Pro 9 installed. Only the PowerPC architecture is supported. (Note, that ArchiCAD 9 is a Carbon application. Add-on developers must adapt the corresponding environment and rules.) You need to compile your add-ons with CW Pro 9 to ensure full compatibility with ArchiCAD/PlotMaker.

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.
