windows support : dynamic loading on windows #18

Open caron opened 13 years ago

caron commented 13 years ago

..\src\PluginLoader.cpp(44): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dlfcn.h': No such file or directory

dlfcn.h isn't on windows, instead we should include windows.h and use windows calls instead. i have read they are as follows...

dlopen --> HMODULE LoadLibrary(char path) dlsym --> void GetProcAddress(HMODULE lib, char *sym) dlclose --> void FreeLibrary(HMODULE lib)

the prepocessor conditions are going to get ugly, maybe field3d specific dynamic library functions which direct the right code per environment?

i was looking into this and was wondering if an example plugin for field3d could be included? this way plugin loading code could be unit tested for both platforms.

so, i am evaluating Boost.Extensions...

and this example code...
