Set up plugin sdk

1. Copy plugin-sdk repository to your disk

To download the repository, you must install Git for Windows.

! Git can be installed during Visual Studio installation (2015, 2017) by selecting the corresponding item in the installer.

! Git for Windows XP can be found here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.10.0.windows.1

Run the command line from the folder where plugin-sdk repository is located (or go to this folder from the command line) and run command

git clone https://github.com/DK22Pac/plugin-sdk.git

If you plan to continue working with the repository (update or make your changes), you can use TortoiseGit for these purposes.

2. Setup environment variables and install Project Wizard/Templates

Launch installer-launcher.exe in plugin-sdk folder.

! If you have problems running applications that use .NET Framework 4.0, you can try running the version of the installer that uses .NET Framework 3.5. To do this, open tools\installer и запустите PluginSdkWizardInstaller_fw3.5.exe with admin rights.

Setup plugin-sdk environment variables in the Setup Plugin-SDK environment variables section. The variable PLUGIN_SDK_DIR is mandatory. More information about variables can be found here.

After configuring PLUGIN_SDK_DIR variable, it will be possible to install additional utilities for Visual Studio and Code::Blocks (click the button in the Install Plugin-SDK Wizard/Templates section).

After the installation, click on the Generate button in the Generate Plugin-SDK solution/workspace section. After that, plugin-sdk solution will be created.

3. Build plugin-sdk solution

Go to the plugin-sdk folder, and open created solution (plugin.sln for Visual Studio, plugin.workspace for Code::Blocks). Build solution in Release and Debug modes.

Visual Studio

Choose building mode

And use menu for building: Build > Build solution (F7 key by default).
