Detailed Description

Macro definitions to support building/using a Windows DLL.

When building a Windows DLL version of XPMP2, This file switches between dllexport and dllimport declarations.

The default remains to be building a static library, for which you as a plugin author don't need to set anything special.

Before considering to use a DLL version refer to the XPMP2 Build documentation.

The XPMP2 build process defines XPMP2_DLLEXPORT when -D"XPMP2_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:boolean=TRUE" is passed to the cmake call, to build the DLL.

If you want to use the XPMP2.dll from your plugin you need to

define XPMP2_DLLIMPORT before including any XPMP2 header,
link to the XPMP2.lib DLL import library, one of the outputs of the DLL build process, and
ship the XPMP2.dll with your plugin.
