Re: Glib::Module

[Bart Verstraete <bartverstraete telenet be>]

Hi I got it to work Only had to change the main.cpp to:

#include <iostream>
#include <glibmm/module.h>
#include "TestPluginApp_generic.h"
int main()
{
    GenericPlugin* (*CreatePlug)();
    Glib::Module plugin("plugins/sample.dll");
    if(!plugin)
        std::cout << "Error: " << plugin.get_last_error() << std::endl;
    else
    {
        std::cout << "Name of the plugin: " << plugin.get_name() << 
std::endl;
        if(plugin.get_symbol("CreatePlug", (void*&)CreatePlug))
        {
        	GenericPlugin *loaded_plugin = CreatePlug();
            std::cout << "Function action() returns: " << 
loaded_plugin->action() << std::endl;
        }
        else
            std::cout << "Error: " << plugin.get_last_error() << std::endl;
    }
	return 0;
}
