OpendTect Plugin Development

[Alexandre Henrique]

Hello,

I'm starting a new project with UERJ (Rio de Janeiro State University) from Brazil and I would like to know if is possible to adds a external library to build a plugin. I need to read and write some netcdf files and they have a library that is already in C++. 

It's possible to add the lib.so and dynamically load it?

Thank you in advance,

Alexandre Henrique

Yes, a plug-in can reference another dynamic library.

Yes this isn't a problem but you need to compile the external library with a compiler version compatible with your OpendTect release (currently for 6.4.4 that means Visual Studio 2017 on Windows and gcc 4.8.5 on Linux). Have a look at my GeopackageExport plugin which links to the gdal external library. There are some extra lines in the CMakeLists.txt file for adding the external library to the linker search path and for finding the header file.

Thank You Wayne!!

Just by coincidence, i was already seeing this exactly plugin in your github repository.
