Max SDK 8.2.0 - can't find ruby build.rb or the examples folder

Apr 27 2023 | 2:23 pm

Hello folks, I'm having a little trouble getting started with the SDK. The documentation talks about running a Ruby build script by using terminal to navigate into the examples folder.

I can find neither the examples folder, or the ruby build.rb file. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I believe the documentation within the SDK was not updated when everything switched to cmake sometime in the last few years.
More recent build instructions are available in the readme at https://github.com/Cycling74/max-sdk.

Many thanks! Bonus question: should I be looking at the min-devkit? My development skills are incredibly rusty and I've done a little C++ with Juce, so would that be a better starting point, or is SDK 8.2.0 still the 'main' way in?

I recommend starting with the good ol’ C SDK, which (amongst other things) seems to be better documented.
