[Meshlab-devel] Meshlab plugin detection

[Randy <ra...@ph...>]

Hello,

I'm attempting to write an IO plugin for meshlab. I've downloaded the 
sources for version 1.1.1, and started development. I am able to 
successfully compile everything under Windows using the mingw gcc compiler 
(qmake -recursive meshlabv12.pro && make release). However, whenever I try 
to move the plugin (or any other plugin compiled from source) to the plugins 
folder of the meshlab version installed from the setup executable (also 
version 1.1.1), the DLLs are not recognized. If I remove all DLLs that were 
installed from the exe, and put in their place DLLs that I compiled, Meshlab 
gives me the error of "Can't find any plugins in the C:\Program 
Files\VCG\Meshlab\plugins directory" when I go to help->about plugins. Any 
idea of what I might be doing wrong, or what other information is required 
to debug this problem?

Thanks for your help,
Randy
