Using X-Plane Hello World (SDK3) Sample code from

https://developer.x-plane.com/code-sample/hello-world-sdk-3/

Create a CMake project with GitHub Actions

Building Hello-World-SDK-3 from source

On windows

1. Install required software using Chocolatey using admin command prompt:

   choco install git cmake
   choco install mingw --version 8.1.0
   

   You can also install the same programs manually if you prefer.

2. Checkout and configure the project:

   git clone https://github.com/sparker256/Hello-World-SDK-3.git
   cd Hello-World-SDK-3
   cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -S .\src -B .\build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
   

3. Build the project and copy the plugin DLL into the appropriate directory:

   cmake --build .\build
   cp .\build\win.xpl .\HelloWorldSdk3\64\
   

On Ubuntu:

1. Install required software:

   sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential cmake git freeglut3-dev libudev-dev libopenal-dev
   
   

2. Checkout and configure the project:

   git clone https://github.com/sparker256/Hello-World-SDK-3.git
   cd Hello-World-SDK-3
   cmake -S ./src -B ./build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
   

3. Build the project and copy the plugin DLL into the appropriate directory:

   cmake --build ./build
   cp ./build/lin.xpl ./HelloWorldSdk3/64/
   

On OS X:

1. Install XCode, Git, CMake (Homebrew can be convenient for this).

2. Checkout and configure the project:

   git clone https://github.com/sparker256/Hello-World-SDK-3.git
   cd Hello-World-SDK-3
   cmake -S ./src -B ./build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
   

3. Build the project and copy the plugin DLL into the appropriate directory:

   cmake --build ./build
   cp ./build/mac.xpl ./HelloWorldSdk3/64/
