Maya Plugins: VS2008 Build environment

Config

Windows 32 dll Project
Configuration type
".dll"
Additional Include




Linker





Additional dependencies
Foundation.lib OpenMaya.lib OpenMayaFx.lib OpenMayaUi.lib Image.lib OpenMayaAnim.lib OpenMayaRender.lib




this is whats odd, I have to put this export command in the linker cmd line so maya loads this plugin






Code for registering a plugin:


#define _BOOL
#include /iostream/
#include /maya/MFnPlugin.h/

MStatus initializePlugin(MObject object)
{
return MS::kSuccess;
}

MStatus uninitializePlugin(MObject object)
{
return MS::kFailure;
}
