Where to define external libraries?

[jav3d]

Hello, I have 2 questions regarding plugins:

1. If my plugin uses an external API which requires 4 external library files (.so files) where am I supposed to define/add these files so they will be found later at time of plugin compilation?

2. I assume that compiling the plugin for iOS has to be done on Mac. We bought an advanced Shiva3D license and installed shiva3D on a windows machine. How can we now compile our plugin on the Mac machine? I understand that Shiva3D advanced license is per-machine, right? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks for a quick response!

/regards

2. But UAT is free. You have to export stk file from shiva editor, and then use this file in UAT installed on mac machine. btw you can migrate shiva editor licenses.

Thanks for your response peter, however, I've been compiling the windows and android plugins from within the Shiva Editor. In Data Explorer/Plugins double cklicking on the plugin opens up a windows where you can compile for Android and Windows, but the iOS tab is reddend-out. So I assume one has to be running the Shiva Editor on a Mac to be able to compile for iOS.

Migrating licenses could be an option, but I assume after compiling I have to again migrate the license back tothe main windows-based development machine, right? This would become a headache if I have to often compile plugins for iOS.

Is there no better/simpler solution?


Also, can anyone please help about where to define external libraries when compiling plugin for windows/android?

Many thanks in advance!

There is no shiva editor for osx, only UAT for OSX
And yes that one actually has to be installed on OSX to build for Mac and iOS, you can not do that outside osx

Thanks dreamora, Yes, I do have UAT installed on the Mac machine and I do regularly build for iOS on it, copying over the .stk exported from Shiva Editor.

So if I understand correctly, are you saying there is no need to "compile" my plugin and just export the game STK, then copy over to Mac machine and build with UAT? And this will build the game as well as the plugin for iOS?
