If you want to build the Shoebill Plugin by yourself, you will need to download and install some dependencies.

Icon Windows

You will need the following programs:

  • Visual Studio
  • CMake
  • JDK 1.8 32 Bit

Generate project files for Visual Studio by opening CMake and pointing to the ShoebillPlugin folder. Click Configure and select Visual Studio as the target generator. After the configuration process is done, click Generate and you will get a .sln file which can be opened in Visual Studio. After you opened the Solution in Visual Studio, simply click Build and you will get a .dll file in the src/Debug or src/Release directory.

Icon Linux

You will need the following programs:

  • GCC and G++
  • CMake
  • JDK 1.8 32 Bit
  • ICONV

After you got all the dependencies installed, you can generate Makefiles via CMake like this: cmake .. After you got your Makefiles, you can use make to generate the .so plugin file which will be located in the src folder. You should rename the .so file from Shoebill.so to just Shoebill.
