Hmm. That was too early. I replied after compiling was fine, but the TypeModule Example is crashing on execution.
./main Loading plugin with path: '/home/me/plugin-example/libplugin.so' Loaded module: '/home/me/plugin-example/libplugin.so' ** (process:27029): CRITICAL **: register_plugin: assertion `module != NULL' failed Plugin type: (null) (process:27029): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed (process:27029): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_is_floating: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Segmentation fault ... The example does not give a TypeModule arg and creating a TypeModule with 'TypeModule tm = new TypeModule();' doesn't work. Will it be necessary to have one TypeModule per application and do register_* for all plugin types with it or will it be one per plugin? Or am I getting this totally wrong? Maybe it will be easier to understand if someone can fix the example on the vala website.
