To use the <tt>plugins</tt> and <tt>plugins-clean</tt> targets from the VDR <tt>Makefile</tt>
you need to unpack such an archive into the <tt>VDR/PLUGINS/src</tt> directory and
create a symbolic link with the basic plugin name, as in
+<!--X1.1.2--><table width=100%><tr><td bgcolor=red>&nbsp;</td><td width=100%>
<p><table><tr><td bgcolor=#F0F0F0><pre><br>
-ln -s vdr-hello-0.0.1 hello
+ln -s hello-0.0.1 hello
</pre></td></tr></table><p>
Since the VDR <tt>Makefile</tt> only searches for directories with names consisting
of only lowercase characters and digits, it will only follow the symbolic links, which
should lead to the current version of the plugin you want to use. This way you can
-have several different versions of a plugin source (like <tt>vdr-hello-0.0.1</tt> and
-<tt>vdr-hello-0.0.2</tt>) and define which one to actually use through the symbolic link.
