Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Rudi Hammad]

jesus yep, that was itI definitely need new glasses.  Thanks.
The plugin compiled alright.

So now I guess I will have to install a virtual machine on windows to 
emulate mac and run this same code to compile for that platform.

 Hello,

 I am trying to track the error, so I added this the code below

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Justin Israel]

I just noticed something from your first email. Your screenshot shows that
your directory is named "cgmake" but you are setting your module path as if
it were called "cgcmake" (like Chad's original repo). Is that the cause of
this whole problem? If so, then you should fix the dir name (or the module
path you are setting) and go back to using
find_package(Maya REQUIRED)
It should discover FindMaya.cmake if your module path matches what really
exists on disk.

 I thought you were previously trying to test the behavior of
 find_package. Did that not seem like the right thing to discover
 FindMaya.cmake? What was the outcome of the debug output?

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Rudi Hammad]

I switched because apparently I can't read properly...my bad. Now I am 
using this:
set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE TRUE)
find_package("Maya")
set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE FALSE)

 The output is https://pastebin.com/5gc1q8Jr

( I was checking again Chad videos again and if I understood properly, when 
CMake runs find_package("Maya")  what it does is looking for the word 
"Find" + the input in between () , so Maya + .cmake.
That a bit weird, why not just ind_package("FindMaya")? )


I also tried this find_path() (I  think I am using it right):
set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE TRUE)
find_path(cache "FindMaya.cmake" ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})
set(CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE FALSE)

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Rudi Hammad]

hey Chad,
Just tried what you suggesteed. In CmakeLists.txt (the one in the root) I 
changed
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cgcmake/modules)
to
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "C:/Users/rudi 
hammad/Desktop/testCMake/testingCMake/cgcmake/modules") 

Same result.
The thing that confuses me is that the path out put to the folder 
containing FindMaya is correct, but the message says otherwise. I am sure I 
must be doing something stupid, but I can't see it.

I thought you were previously trying to test the behavior of find_package.
Did that not seem like the right thing to discover FindMaya.cmake? What was
the outcome of the debug output?

The signature says find_program ( name1 [path1 path2 ...]) . This what

 Hey Rudi, Since I don't have a WIndows Maya development environment, I
 can only try and guess at the solutions. But it might help you in the
 meantime, until another Windows user chimes in.

 This error looks like it is failing to find the FineMaya.cmake
 extension module that was provided by Chad's repo. The idea here with cmake
 is that it is a build system generator, which supports extension modules to
 do reusable custom tasks, and in this case, to find Maya's development env.
 The README in Chad's project is suggesting a way to structure your own
 project and the contents of the CMakeLists files, and to ensure that you
 have the FindMaya.cmake file in the right spot.

 https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L34
 These lines in the root CMakeLists are setting the tools dir to be
 relative to the current source directory processed by cmake
 (./cgcmake/modules),
 so it assumes you have this existing path:
 ./cgcmake/modules/FindMaya.cmake
 Can you confirm that you have this module file in the correct location
 in your own project?

 It will load the FindMaya.cmake because of this:
 https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L48

 Once you get past that part of cmake finding the module, then it will
 try to determine the location of your Maya installation:

Maybe it has something to do with the space in your user name? Might need
to put quotes around your path when you set the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH

Your only option is to build on MacOS, either on a real Mac, a "Hackintosh"
or a virtual machine. There is no way to compile a Maya plug-in for Mac
using anything but MacOS. The same goes for all platforms. They must be
built on the OS they are meant to be used on.

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Rudi Hammad]

 hey,
yes I followed the same folders structure. I also added the devkit/include. 
But when I run the cmd commands, it creates the folders inside the created 
folder build.2018, but stops with the error mentioned before, and 
build.2018\src\CMakeFiles is empty.

It seems that maya devkit isn't included anymore in maya. I downloaded it, 
and you get a the main "devkitBase" folder, and in it you have "cmake"(with 
qt-5.6.1_vc14-cmake.tar inside), "devkit", "include", "lib", "mkspecs". And 
then inside each, you have other folders, etc.. so there isn't a 
"devkit/include". They are separate folders: "devkit" and "include".

hmmm...I guess there is no alternative way to complile plugins for mac from 
windows?
I have to ship some plugins for animators that use windows and mac, so I 
need to figure out that. I'll keep trying.

 Also while you can often use a different Visual Studio version than

Hey Rudi, Since I don't have a WIndows Maya development environment, I can
only try and guess at the solutions. But it might help you in the meantime,
until another Windows user chimes in.

This error looks like it is failing to find the FineMaya.cmake extension
module that was provided by Chad's repo. The idea here with cmake is that
it is a build system generator, which supports extension modules to do
reusable custom tasks, and in this case, to find Maya's development env.
The README in Chad's project is suggesting a way to structure your own
project and the contents of the CMakeLists files, and to ensure that you
have the FindMaya.cmake file in the right spot.

https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L34
These lines in the root CMakeLists are setting the tools dir to be relative
to the current source directory processed by cmake (./cgcmake/modules),
so it assumes you have this existing path:
./cgcmake/modules/FindMaya.cmake
Can you confirm that you have this module file in the correct location in
your own project?

It will load the FindMaya.cmake because of this:
https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L48

Once you get past that part of cmake finding the module, then it will try
to determine the location of your Maya installation:
https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/modules/FindMaya.cmake#L54

And you can see what aspects of the Maya installation it expects to find
(includes and devkit):
https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/modules/FindMaya.cmake#L86

Hope that unblocks you.

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Rudi Hammad]

 So I followed Chad Vernom's cmake tutorials on youtube. First I wrote a 
everything as he did, and when it came do the build from the command promp 
I got an error related to maya path or something, so I thought
F###k that, I'll just copy his repo from github, since I barely understand 
CMake syntax and I might have done plenty of errors.
Anyway, after copying his repo and rebuilding I get the error

-
 

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Maya" with any of
  the following names:

MayaConfig.cmake
maya-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Maya" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Maya_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Maya"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.
-

Since I am not familiar at all with CMake I have no idea what to do with 
this. According to the error it says " If "Maya"  provides a separate 
development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. "
So should I install maya's devkit separetly or somehing? I so, how to 
"install it"? Should I copy paste all folder of "dekitBase" in maya? Do I 
even need the SDK? 

Anyway, I am completly lost here. 

Thanks,
R

 Yes, that's not an issue. The version of Maya you build for is
 determined by the SDK you use, e.g. the Maya 2020 SDK for Maya 2020
 plug-ins. The only thing to bear in mind is that the compiler version needs
 to match the Maya compiler version, so VS 2015 or 2019 for Maya 2018-2022.
 You can't build for Mac with VS.

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Chad Vernon]

I've used Jenkins CI in the past to build plugins for multiple versions of 
Maya on all 3 platforms. You have to have access to all three platforms on 
the same network. I used CMake to set up the build environment for each 
platform/maya version.

Also while you can often use a different Visual Studio version than what 
Maya was compiled with, you may sometimes see irregularities, like 
difficulties running through a debugger.

hello,

Not sure if I am understanding correctly. I only know how to setup VS for 
one maya version. What I do is a set the directories in the properties the 
the corresponding maya verstion path.
So what I would do to compile for each is manually change every time the

I would like to get this right first and then I'll check the replies about

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Reza Aarabi]

Marcus I tested it
no need to use same compiler version as maya built against it

for example I've compiled plugin for maya 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022
with Visual Studio 2019
and it worked well

(same for gcc)

the only point is that you have to have C++ redist 2019 installed on your
machine if you used visual studio 2019 for compilation
or related C++ redist  for your VS that used for building

 hello,

 the title of the thread sums it up really.
 I wonder if there is an easy way to compile the plugins for multiple
 maya's and platforms(windows and mac mainly) at once with visual studio.
 I couldn't find much info googling, or maybe a missed it.

 thanks,

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Reza Aarabi]

btw, in windows you don't have to use Visual Studio, you can use Visual
Studio build file that is `cl.exe`
in linux you should use `gcc`
and in mac you can use `clang`

cl, gcc and clang are C++ Compilers

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Reza Aarabi]

as Marcus said
You can not compile the plugin for mac from windows
but you can create a build system with CMake that be compatible with all
Operating Systems
then you should go to the target OS and run the cmake file, and build the
related plugin
windows: mll
linux: so
mac: bundle (not sure)

but you have to have Maya(version> SDK  to build and compile your plugin
against it in your target OS

Re: [Maya-Python] Compiling plugins in Visual Studio for multiple maya versions and platforms

[Marcus Ottosson]

Yes, that's not an issue. The version of Maya you build for is determined
by the SDK you use, e.g. the Maya 2020 SDK for Maya 2020 plug-ins. The only
thing to bear in mind is that the compiler version needs to match the Maya
compiler version, so VS 2015 or 2019 for Maya 2018-2022. You can't build
for Mac with VS.
