Thank you Alex: I did build earlier using the instructions given on the web that you referred to. I was also able to run the QGIS (the built version) executable (after manually copying several libraries that were needed).
I now wanted to add my own plugin.That is when the real challenge started. I could compile the dll's that came from the trunk. I tried to add my own project following the plugin development directions and I could not get very far. That is where I am today. I do have experience with C++ and visual studio. I have written a few standalone applications that I want to run from within QGIS. Right now I am trying to make a simple dll as per the instructions given on the web and it has not gotten me anywhere. I tried rerunning CMake and I get a new error that I did not get before, and if anyone of you have any idea why let me know. I do have SIP installed and I even went to the extent of compiling it myself and CMake still could not find it. Quantum GIS version: 1.7.0 Trunk (10700) Found GRASS: C:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0 (6.4.0) Found Iconv: C:/OSGeo4W/lib/iconv.lib Found Proj: C:/OSGeo4W/lib/proj.lib Found Expat: C:/OSGeo4W/lib/libexpat.lib Found GSL: C:/OSGeo4W/lib/gsl.lib;C:/OSGeo4W/lib/cblas.lib Found GEOS: C:/OSGeo4W/lib/geos_c_i.lib Found GDAL: C:/OSGeo4W/apps/gdal-17/lib/gdal_i.lib Found QWT: C:/OSGeo4W/lib/qwt5.lib CMake Error at cmake/FindSIP.cmake:54 (MESSAGE): Could not find SIP Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:399 (FIND_PACKAGE) Any help is greatly appreciated, Maaza --- On Sat, 2/5/11, Alex Mandel <[email protected]> wrote: From: Alex Mandel <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] plugin development in Win XP To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, February 5, 2011, 8:32 PM I think what Giovanni was implying is that you should setup to build QGIS from source and that once you have that working your build environment should work for plugins.
