Some rules on how to use sdk.h in a plugin

[stahta01]

FYI:

I am trying to figure out the rules on including sdk.h in a plugin.

Here is my guess at the rules; note, I am not a great c++ programmer and hope to have feedback on my guesses; enough to confirm them before I put the rules on the wiki.

1. use " #include <sdk.h> " not " #include "sdk.h" " in a plugin.
2. It is recommended not to use "#include <sdk.h>" in a header file.
3. Because "#include <sdk.h>" includes the "<wx/wxprec.h>" it is not necessary to include both "<wx/wxprec.h>" and "<sdk.h>"

where do you get the sdk.h and other header files for C::B sdk? Is it generated as part of the C:B build process when you compile the trunk?

This should really be indicated somewhere, like on stickie forum or wiki etc, so new plugin developers know how to get started and where to look.

Should they not be made public so that all can see (i.e. in the wiki as Tim mentioned)?

Please DO NOT Hijack Threads!!!!

Please READ the directions TO BUILD from source Code::Blocks for your OS!!
You should then know where "sdk.h" is located.
