How to activate my plugin on other computers

Post by petrb »

Hi,
thanks for CloudCompare whitch is very usefull for us.

I'm doing my first plugin. It's my first experience with C++. I followed the instructions in BUILD.md file. I'm working on Windows 10 64-bit, Visual studio 2015, Qt 5.6, CloudCompare 2.8.1 and 2.9.alpha. I was surprised that my first plugin works well very early. It works on the computer where I builded it. But it doesn't work on other computers where is only CloudCompare installed and where I copy my plugin DLL file. Console reports that My_plugin.dll doesn't seem to bee valid plugin.

Is there any process which needs to be done on other computers. Or can I get more details about error from console report. Maybe something needs to be set in Visual Studio?
Thanks for any sugestions.
Petr B.

If you want to share only the plugin file with people using the official version of CC, you'll have to compile it with the same environment as myself: Visual 2013, and Qt 5.7.0 (you can know that anytime by looking at the version dialog: 'Help > About').
