Hello,

yes, this should be no problem. There are already a few Qt plugins that should compile without modification:

• programming/v_repExtBubbleRob
• programming/v_repExtK3
• programming/v_repExtMtb
• programming/v_repExtRemoteApi
• programming/v_repExtSimpleFilter
• programming/v_repExtUrdf
• programming/v_repExtVision

just make sure to use the exact same Qt version as the one that was used to compile V-REP, otherwise you might get into trouble (this is however less critical if you do not use any GUI in your plugin, as far as I know). Also try to use the same compiler (MinGW in Windows).

The above plugin projects should compile without modification in Windows, Linux and Mac.

Hallo,
I tried to compile the BubbleRob plugin using QT in Windows and using the original .pro file.
The dll file is generated and I copied it into the root directoy of vrep.

But when VREP start I get the following message:

Plugin 'BubbleRob': loading...
Error with plugin 'BubbleRob': load failed (could not load). The plugin probably couldn't load dependency libraries. Try rebuilding the plugin.

I am usign VREP 3.5.0 rev1 and Qt Creator 4.5.1.
The settings for the project are as follows:
- Kit: Desktop Qt 5.9.0 MinGW 32 bit
- Qt versions: Qt 5.9.0 MinGW 32 bit

Is there something I am doing wrong? What could I check to understand the problem?

Thank you in advance
Regards

Marta

Hello,

you need to compile your plugin for the same architecture as V-REP. The Windows version of V-REP is 64bit, since V3.4.0. Also, since V3.4.0, the used compiler is msvc2015.
