Building

You will need Visual Studio 2019 and git.

1. Open Visual Studio 2019. Click on Tools → Get Tools and Features... from the top bar of the window. This should open the Visual Studio Installer in another window. From the Workload tab, install "Desktop development with C++". From the Individual Components tab, install:

   • MSVC v141 - VS 2017 C++ x64/x86 build tools
   • C++ Windows XP Support for VS 2017 (v141) tools

2. Run the following in cmd:

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lipsanen/source_example_plugin
   

3. Open source_example_plugin.sln inside the source_example_plugin folder

4. If Windows asks which program to open source_example_plugin.sln with, choose Visual Studio.

   Do not upgrade the Platform Toolset when prompted, this will make the plugin not build on Debug.

5. Click Build > Build Solution.

   source_example_plugin.dll will be in source_example_plugin\<Build Configuration>
