This page is about configuring XCode (Mac) or Visual C++ (Windows) so that it will compile plugins for FileMaker.
Taking either the FileMaker Plugin example, or one of the sample templates provided by other plugin developers and getting it to compile so that it will load in FileMaker Client.
Initial Configuration
Changes to make to compile the plugin and make any other initial setup changes.
Microsoft Visual C++
When attempting to compile the plugin on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++ Studio, I found I needed to download and install VS SDK for Windows.
This can be downloaded for free from www.microsoft.com
Adding Version Info to Windows Plugin
Add the following lines into the FMPluginExample.rc file on windows. I put it just before the first 'STRINGTABLE'
Replace the 1,0,1,0 and 1.01 with your current version info.
Replace 'IDMA' with your product name.
I was unable to remove any of the 'VALUE' lines without breaking the version functionality. I suspect it's tied to the BLOCK line, but didn't investigate further.
