**Disclaimer - total newbie, so dumb it down and don't assume**

I need to compile some javascript into a photoshop plugin for CS2 on
OSX.

I have never compiled anything and I don't even know what tools to use.
I'm not looking for someone to tell me step by step what to do, I just
need a list of software and or commands for the process.

I am running OSX 10.4.8 (Intel)... I don't have XCode and not even sure
if it will work based on this snippet in Adobe's faq:

"2.7 How do I make a plug-in using XCode?

XCode does not support PEF binaries. Photoshop CS and earlier will only
load
PEF binary plug-ins. Photoshop CS2 is a MachO application. Photoshop
CS2
will load both PEF and MachO binaries. Even though Photoshop CS2 is a
Mach0
application XCode is not a supported build system."

Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!

Later,

SA

You can use Xcode to build Mach-O plugins for PS CS2 or later. It can
also build Universal PPC+Intel plugins for CS3, of course. (Xcode is
not even strictly necessary, you can also do it with gcc and a
Makefile.)

If you want to support versions of Photoshop older than CS2 (i.e.
versions 3.0 through 7.0 and CS), you'll need to build PEF format
executables, which can be done with practically any version of
CodeWarrior, or MPW (free download from Apple, runs under Classic
only).

A number of plugins with GPL source code are available from my site,

Sorry for being such a novice... a few more questions.

I have some Javascript that I normally launch using "File -> Scripts ->
Browse..." within photoshop. I want to compile that Javascript into a
plugin. Can Xcode build that? I don't see any options for creating a
Mach-O project. When I add my Javascript file, the "Build" option is
grayed out...

I know I originally said I didn't need step by step, but it looks like
I am in way over my head. Can you just bullet the high level steps
(easiest route). This is all for CS2 or above.

Thanks!

SA

Thanks! I feel like I am getting closer...

I want to package and sell the script as a plugin. If I just leave it
as a script, anyone can view/edit the code. If I create a plugin that
requires a serial number, it at least acts as a road block.

Obviously, it can be hacked, but it is not a script for the masses.
