Correct way to open a project from VS Community 2015

[MiguelLara]

Hi, I starting with OF.

I tried to open some example from VS in this way: FILE > OPEN > PROJECT/SOLUTION, then I go to the example folder.

Since there are several files inside the example folder, nothing can open with VS!

What I’m doing wrong?
Thanks.

Some help? I just see this files on each example:

It looks like you are not using a release version of OF but working directly from the github repo.
The releases for OF which contain the project files can be found here:
http://openframeworks.cc/download/

If you want to work with the Github repo check out the instructions in this post:

How do I build from source?

@spacefolder - actually don’t feel embarrassed its not actually super clear how to generate the projects for the git repo. Once you have the branch you want to work with, add the project generator folder from the latest OF release to the root of the OF repo. Then run the project generator. Hit the cog wheel on the right of the PG and select advanced options. Then select the update multiple tab, put in the path to the examples folder in the current OF repo folder. Make sure Xcode is selected in…

Hope that helps!
