Title: Compiling a plugin

I found this plugin a while ago but only the source code is available for download. I don't think it's complete but it seems to me that it's at least functional. How do I compile this plugin?

See the SimpleGuideToCompiling wiki page.

This one? It only tells me how to compile the whole thing, which I've already tried and ended up with this:

menus/main_menu.c:256: error: ‘LANG_DISK_NAME_INTERNAL’ undeclared (first use in this function)

You need to compile the whole thing with the plugin for the plugin to be able to work.

Did you use SVN to check out the sources or did you download the source tarball?

I tried both and had the same result from both.

To compile the plugin with the rest of it, do I just place the .c file in the plugin folder?

You'll need to give more information then. What SVN revision does SVN report you have, what environment are you compiling in (Linux, Cygwin, etc), what target are you compiling for, what patches have you tried to apply, what changes have you made?

The official sources don't have this error, so we need to figure out what you've done that is causing it.

To compile a plugin you'll need to add the plugin to the SOURCES file in the plugin folder as well as having it's c file present there.

Checked out revision 18281.

Ubuntu

No patches

no changes other than adding pitch.c to the plugin folder

Could you re-check out the source in a new location then make a build folder and attempt to compile and paste a log of that whole session to pastebin.ca?

Alright, it's building. It should be done in about half an hour.

edit:
Or not... It's done and works. I'll try with pitch.c and post the results here.

edit 2:
It works now. How do I get pitch.c to compile with the rest? It doesn't seem to be there with the rest of the .rock files.

Did you add it to SOURCES like I said above?

Ah, I didn't see the edit. I'll do that.

edit:
I got it working. Thanks.
