I just bought FM Developer 6, and since I am competent with C/C++, I am interested in making some plugins. However I don't own a commercial compiler like CodeWarrior, so I normally use the built-in OSX compilers like gcc and g++.

However the source code for the plugins is much more complex than what I'm used to, using a dozen files or so over multiple directories, which is much more than I'm used to, and such is hard to compile via the command line. I tried doing it but it wouldn't compile, I assume because I wasn't setting it up properly.

Does anyone have any tips for compiling a plugin with gcc/g++ on the command line, or better yet, a Makefile for doing this?

Sorry I don't know about that.

Maybe you can ask guys from www.24u.cz, they are the best. That company is producing Fat/Fat/Fat plugins, single plugin that is working on Windows, MacOS and MacX.

Thanks, but people doing it that seriously almost certainly own compiler apps like CodeWarrior. The best person to answer this would probably be someone who has dabbled in plugins on MacOSX.
