<DIV><FONT size=2>I think that's a problem with dependency handling in the make
file. Try building your plugin via invoking:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> build MyPlugin.dll</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that will trigger the recompilation and also avoid rebuilding
the whole VM. Note that in order for this to work all of your c files need to
reside in the direction "plugins\MyPlugin\" e.g., the name of the dll must be
the name of the directory.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to build a very simple external
plugin to the vm on windows 2000. I created a small .c file after looking at
some samples, included it inside of its own directory with the same
name inside the plugins directory, and added the plugin name to the
plugins.ext file. I Then tried to build it by running the build
batch file which executes the makefile and nothing happens, no new
plugin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to create everything in C, I do not
want to use the VMMaker.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using
version 3.6.2 of the vm that i got from sourceforge. Any pointers on how to
build an external plugin hand written in c would be greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
