Title: Ubuntu plugin installation
Post by: incin on May 06, 2008, 02:34:57 am

I found the contrib plugin workspace, and I can build them.  But I dont get any .cbplugin files.  I get a .zip and a .so.  How do I create the .cbplugin file?

Ok, I got it working.
1. remove 'lib' from the beginning of the .so name
2. create a zip file containing the original .zip file created by the build, and the newly named .so file
3. name the zip file the appropriate 'project'.cbplugin name
4. load it like usual

Is there something wrong with the build that it's not doing this for you?

Hi !

The plugin files (binaries, resources, manifest) are copied in the post build step in the devel sub directories so no need for cbplugin, which are only useful for installation, not use.
