Title: Creating plugin with Mala SDK C++
Post by: grasspuddle on April 21, 2011, 11:17:49 am

I'm thinking of writing a plugin to try out a few ideas, but I'm having trouble getting the default eventlogger to work. The DLL download doesn't work in MalaStub, but the Delphi version works great.

I noticed the C++ DLL was 32KB and the Delphi DLL was 425KB. Makes me think C++ wasn't setup right?

Anyone ever setup the C++ version correctly or should I just learn Delphi?

I'm using VC2010 express which converted the VC2008 project successfully, but even the C++ DLL in the included Mala download doesn't work (Delphi works).

After playing around for a few mins I discovered I needed to include the *.pdb file with the DLL. It works that way.

Hi,

Have fun !!!

Hope you make something cool that you can share with others  :applaud:


I have very little experience with the C++, but if you think I can fix something in the SDK please send me the details (or even better the files)  ;D

If there are any good tips for other c++ developers (possibly such as your previous post) please edit the wiki (use the username/password from this forum)
