3.load SOP_Flatten.c and SOP_Flatten.h respectivly

4.compling

....

the output said

D:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 8.1.655\toolkit\include\SYS\SYS_Math.h(116): fatal error C1083: cannot open include file :

You don't need steps 2-4

Just open a command line and navigate to flatten.c and type

hcustom flatten.c

Also, make sure you have the right environment variables set up

You need

MSVCDir pointing to the Vc7 directory of the .NET installation

And these added to your path - change the path to your install directory obviously

C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\Vc7\bin;

C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.NET\common7\IDE;

Hey sibarrick:

.. .very very appreciated... I really hope begin coding for houdini as soon as possible.....

when I use "hcustom", new questions appeared:

I type "hcustom -I . SOP_Flatten.C" (this file is in the dir "..\Houdni\toolkit\samples\sop")

and output is:

Making 'SOP_Flatten.o' from 'SOP_Flatten.C'

Yes debugging in HDK is fun!

lots of cout statements is about all I can suggest, others may know better.

The paths need adding as environment variables, right click on my computer and go to properties -> advanced -> environment variables and add them in there.
