X-Plane SDK and CMake scripts for building plugins

Hi there 👋, I'm Lee!

I'm building software to solve cold cases using DNA at Othram. Technology we built has helped solve hundreds of cases, and this is just the beginning.

Here's what we're working on:

• 👨🏻‍💻 Bioinformatics software in Rust/Python
• ☁️ Big data processing in the cloud (AWS • Terraform • Nextflow)
• 💳 A fundraising platform for justice (DNASolves.com)
• 📑 Web platforms to streamline solving cases (Python • React • Postgres)
• 🧪 Automation in our state-of-the-art DNA sequencing lab
• 🌱 Many cool problems to solve, and there's always something new to learn!

If this sounds interesting, let's work together! Apply at othram.com, or [email protected]

And on the side...

• 🌊 Avid 🤿 diver, ⛵️ sailor, and 🏍️ motorcyclist
• ✈️ Flight simulator software dev: PlaneCommand and DataRefTool
• 🥾 Well-worn passport

xplane_sdk's Issues

Cmake on linux not work properly due to SDK libs dependency

a workaround is to move
SET_PROPERTY(TARGET xplm APPEND PROPERTY INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sdk/CHeaders/XPLM" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sdk/CHeaders/Wrappers")
SET_PROPERTY(TARGET xpwidgets APPEND PROPERTY INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sdk/CHeaders/XPLM" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sdk/CHeaders/Widgets" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sdk/CHeaders/Wrappers")
just before the endif of if(apple or win32) statement

MSVS cmake produce "win.xpl.dll" instead of "win.xpl"

When using cmake to produce MSVC solution, plugin output name is "win.xpl.dll".

Local workaround at line 70:
ELSEIF(WIN32)
ADD_LIBRARY(${library_name} MODULE ${FILES})
TARGET_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS(${library_name} PUBLIC -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS /bigobj)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${library_name} PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "win")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${library_name} PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".xpl")
ENDIF()

Cross-compilation support?

Is there an easy way to modify this to throw out the mac, linux and win versions of the plugin in one compilation step when using a docker image such as https://github.com/jbliesener/crossbuild?
