compiling a plug in

1999-12-11 Thread Willem Robert van Hage

I've been searching for documentation about how to actually
compile a plug in, but all I could find was how to write the code...
I tried compiling it like this, 

gcc -c myplug.c
ld -G -o myplug.o

but when gimp tries to load it from
my ~/.gimp-1.1 (I use gimp-1.1.8) it gives a warning that the plugin has
crashed.

I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I compile it,
because it's with all the plugin code I try, not just my hello world
plugin :)


if anybody could help out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Willem

Hello 

Please use gimptool to build the plugin additional information (a
whole chapter) about compiling can also be found in the Gimp Users Manual
manual.gimp.org.

To build a plugin with gimptool simply do  gimptool --build plug-in.c .
NOTE that this only work with one c source file.

Cheers Olof
