Plugin development for Mac

[roxlu]

Hi, I've created a plugin on Windows which works perfect. Now I want to create a version for the Mac from it. My code compiles and I create a dynamic lib from it. This goes all well, then I use 'zip' to create a .cbplugin file from my dylib. Then I try to install the plugin using the plugin manager, and I get a message "One or more plugins were not installed successfully".  I'm using a C::B version that I compiled (version 8.02, from the svn tags directory) and these are the messages I see in the console.

I've also tried to: File > New Project > Plugin, then I changed the paths to the codeblocks libs/includes, wx-2.8 includes/libs but I get the same message.

Does someone knows what's going wrong?

I have no idea; but all the links I Googled they mentioned the wxWidgets version number; I think it is a wxWidgets issues. (I am a Windows XP person working on learning Linux/BSD.)

Suggest posting the wxWidget Version number. Might help afb answer the question.

Build: Oct 11 2009
Version: 8.02 - wx2.8.10 (Mac OS X, Ansi)


[afb]

It's supposed to be -bundle and .so, not -dynamiclib and .dylib
(but on recent Mac OS X versions there's no difference any more)

If you look at dyld(1) you'll find a lot of debugging variables to set,
to make sure that it is loading the right runtime libraries and so on.
