Hi Martin,
I want the Aiksaurus plugin to be released *alongside* the 0.9.5 release and
not *with* it. It'd be great to ship the plugin as a nice little binary in
addition to 0.9.5. Michael Pritchett and I made the decision that plugins will
go into 'getAbiSuiteAppDir()/plugins/' on both Unix and Win32, and have done
the code to auto-load plugins on startup from that directory. On Unix, we
might want to also scan ~/.AbiSuite/plugins/ for user-specific plugins, and
I'll add code for that in a few minutes.
Anyway, assuming that you've built&installed the aiksaurus source code, you'll
need to cd aiksaurus/gtk/abiPlugin and do some editing of the Makefile - this
is just to get the include paths down correctly. It's really not too
difficult. Then just typing "make" should work. If 'g++ -shared' doesn't work
for you, try 'g++ -G' instead.
