How to build & deploy plugins to Desktop(Win) player?

SatheeshJM

Is there any tutorial or something on how to deploy plugins to the Desktop player. As I understand it, if the plugin is in C++ then we would be able to deploy the plugin in all platforms. I read somewhere that you'll have to build dll files. But I have no idea how(did some googling.. still..).

Can an Someone point me in the right direction?

@SatheeshJM: I tried this but got a few errors which I posted about it here

@Scouser

Hey! Did you ever get this working?
I tried to build a dll using Visual C++ 2010 Express. Keep getting lots of errors.

Scouser

No I never did. I may try again at the weekend.

SatheeshJM

OK! I just managed to eliminate all errors and build a dll file!
(Will post a step-by-step tutorial or something in another post)

But do you know how to link the dll file to the desktop player?

There is a folder for the plugins in the gideros installation folder. Place it there.

Excellent! Everything works perfectly! Even I didn't expect this!
Thanks @MikeHart!

OK! I put together a decent tutorial(especially for Windows noobs like me )
