Hi, Unless you add yourself in the build system and configure the proper cmake variables in your CMakeLists.txt scripts (take a look at other channels for samples) it won't get built statically.
Since it is not built statically, your plugin will need to export the proper entry point, and be installed in the plugin install path. Plugins have a naming structure which allows them to be identified more easily. If your plugin is called "myping" then you should have it built as "myping-client.so" and have it installed in <install_prefix>/lib/freerdp (on my 64-bit system it is <install_prefix>/lib/x84_64-linux-gnu/freerdp). This is where the plugin loader will look for plugins. I intend to add other ways to provide your own plugins later on, such that you could for instance configure additional plugin paths in the registry.
