Building error with MacOS with Maya2022

[lobenichou]

Hey there,

Running into this build error. Looks like this might have to do with devkit but I thought the install wasn't needed anymore. I ran ./osx_create_project.sh MAYA_VERSION with MAYA_VERSION being 2022. Any idea what's going on?

Running MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

I don't have a Mac nearby now, so it's hard for me to help right away.

You might still have to install the devkit?

Ok so I did that and just an FYI, it looks like the instructions for installation have changed and that may influence the build on Mac.

From the DevKit 2022 README:

Once you've installed cmake, download and install the Maya dev kit to a directory of your choice. Make sure **not** to install the Dev Kit to your Maya installation directory (e.g.,  `C:\"Program Files"\Autodesk\Maya<version>`).

Lastly, create the environment variable `DEVKIT_LOCATION` and set it to the `devkitBase` subdirectory. To build devkit application examples in Linux, create the environment variable `MAYA_LOCATION` and set it to where Maya is installed (default location:  `/usr/autodesk/maya<version>`)

The FindMaya.cmake file currently looks for devkit within the Maya installation directory, unless I am not reading this correctly:

# Maya include directory
find_path(MAYA_INCLUDE_DIR maya/MFn.h
  PATHS
    ${MAYA_LOCATION}
    $ENV{MAYA_LOCATION}
  PATH_SUFFIXES
    "include/"
    "devkit/include/"
  DOC "Maya include path"
)

I made it work by following the readme instructions in the devkit folder and changing the lines above to:

# Maya include directory
find_path(MAYA_INCLUDE_DIR maya/MFn.h
  PATHS
    ${DEVKIT_LOCATION}
    $ENV{DEVKIT_LOCATION}
  PATH_SUFFIXES
    "include/"
    "devkit/include/"
  DOC "Maya include path"
)

I tried this on a Mac recently and I didn't have to install any devkit at all, it just all worked out of the box?
