Hello folks building Chrome on Visual Studio 2008 or 2005.
I have been trying to integrate a third-party library into chrome to
develop and test a plugin. Just like all plugins, this will be built
as a dll which should summoned for designated content-type.
I have read in many postings that the NPAPI like external API to
develop plugins will be available in May so I decided to get on with
work and implement this as an internal plugin by hacking my way
through plugin_list.cc and the Glue.vcproject.
When I navigate to my test site with content-type, the plugin does get
invoked. However all this code is added to the glue.vcproject. I have
the code for the thirdparty library that I made a dll project. Here is
where the problem starts
1. Glue.vcproject builds a static library (.lib) which calls functions
from my third-party project which is built as a DLL. Is this plain
wrong? Can a static library make calls to a dynamic library?
2. I was able to build Glue.vcproject when I added my third-party
project as project dependency to Glue.vcproject. However, chrome_dll
which links to Glue.lib did not link complaining about unresolved
references. It was looking for <my project>.lib. But magically, <my
project>.vcproj only builds the dll no accompanying .lib. I have tried
turning on and off various vcProject options... In the build output, I
clearly see /DYNAMICBASE:NO /FIXED:No /IMPLIB being used.
I am clueless and would like to know and can share my windows
messenger id so that someone can take a look at the vcproject to find
out what could be going wrong.
Sincerely
