   Starting Visual Studio .NET from an Softimage command prompt ensures that environment variables such as XSISDK_ROOT are set (otherwise you'll get build and link errors).

   Tip To load the SampleDisplayCallback project from the command line, type:

   devenv SampleDisplayCallback.vcproj
   

2. In Visual Studio .NET, open the project file .vcproj.
3. Select a configuration (Win32 Release or Win32 Debug) and build the DLL.

To build the example on Linux

1. In a shell (tcsh) window, type:

   source $XSI_HOME/.xsi_<xsi_version>
   

2. Change directories to

   cppsrc
   

3. To remove all intermediate files before building the example, run this command:

   gmake clean
   

4. To compile the example, run this command:

   gmake
