Re: install directories
Oh ! I see, makes sense :) You can still look in the winreg, you have the install paths per version and per machine. You launch a shell or a pyscript from your cmake at compile time to retrieve those informations. 2012/4/27 Steven Caron car...@gmail.com thanks jo Something in mind or happened to you ? nope, just improving my cmake search directories On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 10:24 AM, jo benayoun jobenay...@gmail.comwrote: Hey Steve, I install on vm, my softimage versions in the same legacy folder than before adsk acquisition meaning D:\\Softimage\\whatever_name_I_use.

Re: install directories
well its cmake, i wouldn't want to put too many windows specific functions for finding software through the registry. You can always use sys.platorm/sys.platform.startswith in pyscript to make it work with darwin, win and linux. It makes more sense to have something that's all procedural and still works on all platforms.
Re: install directories
alan jones' find_softimage module already works on linux and windows, his module is simple and is easy to maintain. i have no intentions to rewrite this module. i also have no experience programming for the OS on linux and very little with windows, i dont have access to a linux machine to test it. lastly, its boring work that i have not interest in doing or supporting. thanks for the suggestions. now... where do you install softimage? :) s On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 11:01 AM, Alok Gandhi alok.gandhi2...@gmail.comwrote: well its cmake, i wouldn't want to put too many windows specific functions for finding software through the registry.

Re: install directories
On Linux it's /usr/Softimage/[Soft Version] But for other reasons we go outside of the system directories in our place. 2012/4/27 Alok Gandhi alok.gan...@modusfx.com In the defualt folders on windows C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP and I am guessing on linux would be \usr\local\ On 4/27/2012 2:10 PM, Steven Caron wrote: alan jones' find_softimage module already works on linux and windows, his module is simple and is easy to maintain. i have no intentions to rewrite this module. i also have no experience programming for the OS on linux and very little with windows, i dont have access to a linux machine to test it. lastly, its boring work that i have not interest in doing or supporting. thanks for the suggestions. now... where do you install softimage? :) s On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 11:01 AM, Alok Gandhi alok.gandhi2...@gmail.comwrote: well its cmake, i wouldn't want to put too many windows specific functions for finding software through the registry.
