Build Module

The C++ Language Module (plugify-module-cpp) is a core component of Plugify that enables the creation and management of C++ plugins. This guide will walk you through the process of building the module from source.

Prerequisites

Before building the C++ Language Module, ensure you have the following installed:

• CMake (version 3.14 or later)
• C++ Compiler (supporting C++20 or later)
  • Clang 15+
  • GCC 11+
  • MSVC 2022+
• Plugify Core Library (built and available)

Steps to Build the C++ Language Module

git clone https://github.com/untrustedmodders/plugify-module-cpp.git --recursive
cd plugify-module-cpp

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

cmake --build . --target plugify-module-cpp

Integrating the C++ Language Module

After building the module, you can integrate it into your Plugify setup:

1. Copy the compiled module file to the modules directory of your Plugify installation.
2. Ensure the Plugify core library is properly configured to load the module.
3. Start Plugify, and the C++ Language Module will be automatically detected and loaded.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Build Fails:
   • Ensure that you have the correct version of CMake and a compatible C++ compiler installed.
   • Verify that the Plugify core library is built and available.
2. Module Not Loaded:
   • Ensure the module file is placed in the correct directory (modules).
   • Check the Plugify logs for any errors related to module loading.
3. Missing Symbols:
   • Ensure that the module is built with the same compiler and C++ version as the Plugify core library.

Advanced Configuration
