Hi Phil,

areaDetector includes an example of such an "optional" plugin, called NDPluginEdge.  It is a Canny edge detection plugin using the opencv library.

These are the lines in commonDriverMakefile to include it in any detector applications:

ifdef ADPLUGINEDGE
  PROD_LIBS             += NDPluginEdge
  $(PROD_NAME)_DBD      += NDPluginEdge.dbd
  ifdef OPENCV_LIB
    opencv_core_DIR     += $(OPENCV_LIB)
    PROD_LIBS           += opencv_core opencv_imgproc
  else
    PROD_SYS_LIBS       += opencv_core opencv_imgproc
  endif
endif

You just need to add lines like that to your application application Makefile.

The lines about OPENCV are only needed to tell the build system where to look for the opencv header files and libraries.  You probably don't need the equivalent of those if your plugin does not rely on a "vendor" library.

The important lines are the first 2:

  PROD_LIBS             += NDPluginEdge
  $(PROD_NAME)_DBD      += NDPluginEdge.dbd

This is where you tell make to link with your DLL, and to include a .dbd file that you created which contains a single line like:

registrar("NDEdgeRegister")

Mark

Subject: areaDetector: plugin in separate dll

I've implemented a new plugin that is in a separate dll (i.e. it's not part of NDPlugin.dll).
How should the ADExample detector's makefiles be altered so that the ioc will load it?

Thanks,

Phil Atkin
