Rhino Script Compiler issue - RhinoCommon.dll SDK not found

Hi,

I’m updating an older plugin of mine and trying to use the same tools I used when I made it at back then to spare time. But when I’m trying to use the Rhino Script Compiler to create a plugin from a bunch of python scripts I get the following error:
“The RhinoCommon.dll SDK cannot be found on the system. Without RhinoCommon.dll this plugin cannot be compiled.”

How do I resolve this?

Anybody?

Hi @siemen, do still have an older compiler or the one which you used initially to compile your PlugIn the first time ?

In the new RhinoScriptCompiler (which is included in Rhino 7) the option to define the SDK has been removed:

You can only define the minimum Rhino version and then hope that it picks up the correct RhinoCommon.dll which obviously fails. As far as i remember it is supposed to pick up the oldest dll of the version you specify.

The old Compiler allowed to specify the dll manually in the SDK section under PlugIn settings:

I’ve asked @stevebaer about this when it was removed but cannot find the original thread. Maybe he or @will knows how to fix it.

EDIT: here is the original thread / question

Hi @clement, thanks a lot for your reply! Where do I find this new compiler?

I don’t know which version I have or where I can find which version this is?

Ok, I just figured it out. I had to change Plugin settings to change the SDK.
