[Qgis-developer] Plugin Development C++ Windows - Any response?

[G. Allegri]

Maaza, I think your approach doesn't help to give you a hand.
The community cannot supply you the *time* you should invest in trying and,
maybe, learning the necessary basics to do what you need. You shoud try and
try and the, eventually, ask about things that go wrong.

QGis plugins are C++, with some macros defined by Qt. Nothing more, nothing
less (am I wrong?). If you're able to compile C++ code in Visual Studio, you
don't need to rely on Cmakelist. It can help, because it makes a lot of work
for you, and you can be inspired by other plugins. But you also can build
and link the usual way.

Have you read the "QGIS Coding and Compilation Guide" [1]?
