| − | AnyWave is written using the Qt Framework and the Qt plugin mechanism, so a good knowledge of the Qt Framework is required.

| − | =Basic requirements to build a plugin=
| + | |
| − | We strongly recommend QtCreator as the tool to use which is available along with the Qt open source package you will need to build a plugin. <br/>
| + | |
| − | Download Qt and Qt Creator here: [https://www.qt.io/download Get Qt and Qt Creator] <br/>
| + | |
| − | '''Note about Windows:'''<br/>
| + | |
| − | The Windows version of AnyWave is built with Visual Studio 2017 though, so, if you plan to build a plugin for Windows, consider using Visual Studio along with the Qt VS Addin.<br/>
| + | |
| − | Technically speaking you can build a plugin with QtCreator using another compiler like '''gcc''' or '''clang'''.<br/>
| + | |
| − | You will need to put the runtime DLL files of the chosen compiler into the AnyWave folder after you copied the plugin into the Plugins subdirectory.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Prepare a project== | + | |
| − | Every Qt project starts with a .pro file which is the format used by qmake, the tool for building Qt projects.<br/>
| + | |
| − | Building an AnyWave plugin requires that the paths to AnyWave headers and libraries must be set.<br/>
| + | |
| − | A good practice is to set an environment variable called '''AW_ROOT''' that points to the root folder of your AnyWave installation.<br />
| + | |
| − | Example:<br/>
| + | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="text">
| + | |
| − | CONFIG += release warn_off c++11 plugin
| + | |
| − | ROOT=$$(AW_ROOT)
| + | |
| − | # on Mac OS the required folders are located inside the application bundle.
| + | |
| − | macx{
| + | |
| − | ROOT = $$(AW_ROOT)/Contents
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | INCLUDEPATH += $$ROOT/include
| + | |
| − | LIBS += -L$$ROOT/lib
| + | |
| − | DESTDIR = $$ROOT/Plugins
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Mac OS application has a separated folder for Plugins.
| + | |
| − | macx {
| + | |
| − | DESTDIR = $$ROOT/../../Anywave_Plugins
| + | |
| − | # shared libs on Mac are located in the application bundle.
| + | |
| − | LIBS += -F/Library/Frameworks -L$$ROOT/dylibs
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| + | |
| − | You may use this file as .pri that you could include in every project you plan to develop:<br/>
| + | |
| − | [http://meg.univ-amu.fr/AnyWave/sdk/plugins.pri Get plugins.pri file]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Build a reader plugin=
| + | |
| − | As a tutorial, we are going to develop here a reader plugin called "My Reader".<br/>
| + | |
| − | Each Qt project starts with a .pro file which qmake use to compile and link a Qt project.<br/>
| + | |
| − | A Reader plugin is a Qt shared library that should be placed in the Plugins directory of AnyWave.<br/>
| + | |
| − | ==Step 1: Prepare the folder==
| + | |
| − | Let's create a folder in which we will put the files required to build our plugin:<br/>
| + | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| + | |
| − | mkdir MyReader && cd MyReader
| + | |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Step 2: create the project file==
| + | |
| − | Now we can create the .pro file for our project:<br>
| + | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="text">
| + | |
| − | # We assume that the plugins.pri file is also in our plugin directory.
| + | |
| − | include(plugins.pri)
| + | |
| − | # The name of our plugin
| + | |
| − | TARGET=MyReader
| + | |
| − | # Our project must be a library
| + | |
| − | TEMPLATE = lib
| + | |
| − | # Just to avoid unwanted libs, Qt GUI is not usefull for a reader plugin (no widgets/no graphics items).
| + | |
| − | QT -= gui
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # We must link with some AnyWave libs
| + | |
| − | # AwRW is the AnyWave ReadWrite lib.
| + | |
| − | unix{
| + | |
| − | LIBS += -lAwRW
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | win32{
| + | |
| − | LIBS += AwReadWriteLib.lib
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | HEADERS += MyReader.h
| + | |
| − | SOURCES += MyReader.cpp
| + | |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Step 3: Let's code==
| + | |
| − | The header file:<br/>
| + | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
| + | |
| − | #pragma once
| + | |
| − | #include <AwFileIO.h>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | class Q_DECL_EXPORT MyReader : public AwFileIO
| + | |
| − | {
| + | |
| − | Q_OBJECT
| + | |
| − | Q_INTERFACES(AwFileIO)
| + | |
| − | public:
| + | |
| − | explicit MyReader(const QString& fileName);
| + | |
| − | ~MyReader();
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | qint64 readDataFromChannels(float start, float duration, QList<AwChannel *>& channels) override;
| + | |
| − | AwFileIO::FileStatus openFile(const QString &path) override;
| + | |
| − | AwFileIO::FileStatus canRead(const QString &path) override;
| + | |
| − | void cleanUpAndClose() override;
| + | |
| − | };
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | class Q_DECL_EXPORT MyReaderPlugin : public AwFileIOPlugin
| + | |
| − | {
| + | |
| − | Q_OBJECT
| + | |
| − | Q_INTERFACES(AwFileIOPlugin)
| + | |
| − | Q_PLUGIN_METADATA(IID AwFileIOInterfacePlugin_IID)
| + | |
| − | public:
| + | |
| − | MyReaderPlugin();
| + | |
| − | MyReader *newInstance(const QString& fileName) { return new MyReader(fileName); }
| + | |
| − | };
