Creating Plugins

[pat pap]

I've created a new plugin, and on my development machine, if I drop the plugin into the Filemaker Extensions folder, FileMaker picks it up. But if I drop in an extensions folder on another machine FileMake doesn't pick it up. Is there something else I have to do deploy a plugin?

You might have better luck posting this to Troi's plugin developer list: www.troi.com/lists

If I had to guess: could it be related to permissions? Or perhaps a .dll or other library you have installed but the other machine doesn't?

Try installing the C++ Redistributables for whatever version of Visual C++ you're using.

Well..turns out that on the second machine...if I take the same plugin project and relink it, then it works on that second machine, but if I then move that plugin and drop it back on the extensions folder on the first machine. It doesn't work. IT only works on the machine it was compiled with. Both machines have all the same dll's etc.

Do you link to any libraries or call any external dlls etc? have you tried simplifying the plugin just to check that still works?
