[Qgis-developer] cpp-plugin for QGIS 2.0

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Susann,

As long as there is no API break, your C++ code should work across 
versions.

There was an API break shortly between 1.9 and 2.0.

If you target QGIS 2.0 or higher you do not have to deal with QGIS < 
2.0.

You can get the sourcecode directly from github at 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/

See http://www.qgis.org/de/site/getinvolved/index.html for additional 
information how to get started.

Compilation has to be done for each platform and major version 
separately, as you have to link to the QGIS core libraries. If your 
plugin is just for inhouse you just need to target the versions and 
platforms you deal with. If it is for general usage and of general 
interests and good quality, it would be better to include your code in 
trunk with pull requests, so that packagers can bundle it with the 
installers.

Good luck,
Andreas
