Creating Your First Plugin: Hello Myth
This is a really simple skeleton plugin that doesn't do anything. It'll show you what is absolutely necessary to create a plugin. Then you can expand on that by disecting others.
As a disclaimer, I am also very new to plugin development and so please correct me where I might be wrong.
To start, download the mythplugin directory from SVN. Now create the following directory tree within the mythplugin directory:
mythplugin/
mythhello/
mythhello/
mythhello.pro Files
The *.pro files are used by qmake to create the Makefiles.
1) Create a file called mythhello.pro in the first mythhello directory:
TEMPLATE = subdirs # Directories SUBDIRS = <strong>mythhello</strong>
"mythhello" refers to the second mythhello directory.
2) Create another file called mythhello.pro in the second mythhello directory
include ( ../../mythconfig.mak )
include ( ../../settings.pro )
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += plugin thread
TARGET = mythhello
target.path = $${LIBDIR}/mythtv/plugins
INSTALLS += target
uifiles.path = $${PREFIX}/share/mythtv/themes/default
uifiles.files = hello-ui.xml
installfiles.path = $${PREFIX}/share/mythtv
installfiles.files = hello-ui.xml
INSTALLS += uifiles
# Input
HEADERS += mythhello.h
SOURCES += main.cpp mythhello.cpp
macx {
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -flat_namespace -undefined suppress
}
The following items are specific to your plugin: uifiles.files, installfiles.files, HEADERS, SOURCES. Be sure that $${LIBDIR} and $${PREFIX} are set in mythplugins/mythconfig.mak to be the mythtv install prefix and library directory. Mine are set to:
PREFIX=/usr/ LIBDIR=/usr/lib/
