From Kenneth Noyens
Jump to: navigation, search

Main application (loads the plugins):

- plugintest.pro
- main.cpp
- pluginInterface.h
- plugins.cpp
- plugins.h
- plugins.ui

Make a folder in the above directory (ex. Text1Plugin) and add the following files: (for sharing pluginInterface.h)

- text1plugin.pro
- text1plugin.cpp
- text1plugin.h

Watch out:

- When you compile your project, you must compile both projects as the same build configuration.(both debug or release)
- When you build text1plugin put the compiled dll in a folder named 'plugins' in the main application directory.
