Hello,

I want to start developing max externals in C++ using the min-devkit C++ Wrapper.

For that reason I was trying to create a new Package (like it's done in this Video Tutorial) with the name 'test' using the 'C++ Object Development Kit' and got following Error Message: 'min.project: A problem occurred trying to create the new package'

I am using Windows 10, Max 8.2.2, Visual Studio 2019 and I have installed CMake 3.23.0

Console Output after trying to create new package called 'test'

Hopefully someone is able to help me resolve this Issue.

Best Regards,
C.

You could try the CMake route, download from Github, initialize submodules (important!), and then `mkdir build` and run cmake commands for your chosen project generator (VSCode?)

I'm able to copy an existing source/project and get it to build a test, and also build an external. Then maybe posting here you could work out what to do about packages and so on? The reason I suggest this is there's some hints that direct from Github is better than via the Package manager method.

However, perhaps someone from Cycling74 can correct me or help a bit more...?

Thank you for your reply!

It took me a while to get through the instructions on Github to create my Own Package and create new Objects inside that package.

To be able to follow the instructions Step by Step i have had to install:

For creating a new Package I have had to call a ruby script:

ruby script/create_package.rb ../packageName

instead of:

script/create_package.rb ../packageName

like in https://github.com/Cycling74/min-devkit/blob/main/HowTo-NewPackage.md
