James,  I think that's a problem with dependency handling in the make file. Try
building your plugin via invoking:      build MyPlugin.dll  that will trigger
the recompilation and also avoid rebuilding the whole VM. Note that in order
for this to work all of your c files need to reside in the direction
"plugins\MyPlugin\" e.g., the name of the dll must be the name of the
directory.  Cheers,   - Andreas

Compiling an External Plugin
Hello,  I am trying to build a very simple external plugin to the vm on
windows 2000. I created a small .c file after looking at some samples,
included it inside of its own directory with the same name inside the
plugins directory, and added the plugin name to the plugins.ext file. I
Then tried to build it by running the build batch file which executes the
makefile and nothing happens, no new plugin.  I want to create everything
in C, I do not want to use the VMMaker. I am using version 3.6.2 of the vm
that i got from sourceforge. Any pointers on how to build an external
plugin hand written in c would be greatly appreciated.  Jamie
