This page describes how to make a plugin package for mod-plugin-builder (or MPB for short)
Plugin packages are buildroot files. Because of that it must comply with Buildroot rules.
A few important notes:
- The package name is defined by the folder name and cannot contain '.'
- There must be a <packagename>.mk file inside the package folder
- The package name and '.mk' file name must be the same
- Inside the '.mk' file all defined variables must start with the package name in uppercase replacing '-' with '_'
- You need to define the generated plugin bundle names in the <PACKAGE_NAME>_BUNDLES variable
- Browse through other examples so you get an idea of other variations of the makefiles (how to use cmake or waf for example)
- If you want to rebuild after a change to your plugin or the .mk then it is often easiest to just delete the previous build's directory for your plugin ~/mod-workdir/plugins-dep/build/<packagename>-<version>
