Hi Najib, The files you need to compile plugins are not installed by default. To get them, re-run the MWorks installer. When you get to the screen titled “Standard Install on…”, click the “Customize” button, which takes you to a screen titled “Custon Install on…”. Check the box next to “Development files”, then click the “Install” button (_not_ “Standard Install”). Once that’s done, the problems you reported should disappear. Cheers, Chris ---

> The files you need to compile plugins are not installed by default. FYI, I decided that this was a bad idea, as it’s only led to confusion and annoyance. In the next release of MWorks (and future nightlies, probably starting tonight), these files _will_ be installed by default. You can still opt not to install them by doing a custom install. ---

Hi Najib, Have you been able to build and use the EyeLink plugin? I’ve successfully built it on my workstation (but haven’t tested it, since I don’t have access to the hardware), so I can give you a precompiled version if needed. Cheers, Chris ---

> if you can send me a whole package that I can test I would really appreciate it. No problem. I’ve attached a zip file containing the plugin, compiled against MWorks 0.4.5. Unzip it and move the .bundle to `/Library/Application Support/MWorks/Plugins/Core`. You’ll still have to install the EyeLink frameworks yourself. See the section “Installing the EyeLink Developers Kit” in the [README](https://raw.github.com/pschwed/MWorks-Eyelink-1000-Plugin/master/README). Chris ---

Hi Najib, FYI, Philipp’s Eyelink 1000 plugin is now in the nightly build and will be included in the next MWorks release. Cheers, Chris ---
