I did check that--I'm using Chad Vernon's CMake script from his API series over on CG Circuit, modified for these plugins of course. The project file DOES link against them. What's weird is that it only works on my build machines. I'd think that if they weren't linking against Maya that it wouldn't work at all, which leads me back to visual studio specifically. I guess I'm hopiing someone who makes plugins in a windows shop might have run into this :). Most of the searches I've done just turn up tech support for customers (mostly with Arnold or Houdini, it seems) that run into this. Very few developer insights appear.
