The SDK - URL not found

[spyfrog]

Hi

I am trying to download the MMF2 SDK to learn a bit about extensions.
But the URL doesn't work:
https://github.com/clickteam-sdk/windows/zipball/master

Isn't that the SDK that I should look into?
Or is there any better to use? I want to look into the possibility to make an ordinary windows mmf2 extension, nothing fancy....
Mostly to learn more c++

The "clickteam-sdk" organization was renamed to "ClickteamLLC", making old links go dead.

The official EDIF SDK is available here: https://github.com/ClickteamLLC/windows-edif
The old and deprecated "vanilla" SDK is also still available: https://github.com/ClickteamLLC/windows
The old and even more deprecated rSDK is available here: https://github.com/clickteam-plugin/rSDK

If you plan on using the information in the EDIF SDK Wiki, keep note that it refers to an unofficial modified version of EDIF that I made, not the current official version. I recommend using it if you're new to extension development as it has documentation comments in the code and the wiki tutorials correspond to it more closely.

Thanks for your reply, LB.
I will look into the modified EDIF sdk then. :-)

A question: the json.h and json.c file is missing in the modified EDIF version if I download as a ZIP file from GIT hug.
If I download them manually from the git hub i get this error in the code:
"IntelliSense: PCH warning: header stop cannot be in a macro or #if block. An intellisense PCH file was not generated. z:\0development\visualstudio\windows-edif-master\windows-edif-master\json-parser\json.h 42 4 Template"

This seams to be related to the code " extern "C" "
Have I got the wrong json.h file?

The json-parser folder is empty on download because of the way github generates the zip file with submodules, I've contacted them and they said I'd have to find a reasonable soluton for them if I want anything done about it. I'm considering not using the submodule method because of how annoying and unintuitive the download process is.

As for the error you're getting, can you tell me which version of VC++ you're using? Everything works fine for me in VC++2008, and I wrote about how to upgrade the project to VC++2012 in another thread.

I am using VS 2010

Ah. Have you tried downloading the json stuff before opening the project? I don't think anyone else has had this issue in the past to my knowledge, also it looks like an intellisense warning which should not affect compilation.

Well, I created two text files and filled them with the text from the JSON files. I didn't figured out how to download individual files from Github...
But I will not compile either, but I thought that the template perhaps wasn't supposed to compile without added code.
I get these errors now:
Error 3 error : The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. Z:\0Development\VisualStudio\windows-edif-master\windows-edif-master\Extensions\Template\EXEC Template
Error 4 error MSB3073: The command "..\AutoInstall.bat "Z:\0Development\VisualStudio\windows-edif-master\windows-edif-master\Extensions\Template\.\Debug\Template.dll" \Extensions
:VCEnd" exited with code -1. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppComm on.targets 113 6 Template


The funny thing is that the JSON error have mended itself during the night! I haven't changed anything from yesterday and now it works.

Just download the whole repo and copy the files you want (it's fine if all the files are in the json-parser folder too).

Those errors are not errors, in fact the only time you would not see those is if you installed MMF2 and MMF2 Dev at the same time. Those errors are from a script that copies the built MFX files into your MMF2 installaion for you so you don't have to do it yourself. You get an error because it can't find one of the two versions of MMF2, which is normal for most people. It doesn't affect compilation - if it gets to this stage it means that it worked correctly.

Thank you for your help, LB.
I think the problem then is related to MMF2Dev being installed at a strange place - not in the programs folder. I don't have both MMF2 and MMF2 Dev installed so it have to be some path issue.
