### The version number of this plugin (taken from the main source file):

VERSION = \$(shell grep 'static const char \\*VERSION *=' \$(PLUGIN).c | awk '{ print \$\$6 }' | sed -e 's/[";]//g')

### The C++ compiler and options:

CXX      ?= g++
CXXFLAGS ?= -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual

### The directory environment:

VDRDIR = ../../..
LIBDIR = ../../lib
TMPDIR = /tmp

### Allow user defined options to overwrite defaults:

-include \$(VDRDIR)/Make.config

### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"):

APIVERSION = \$(shell sed -ne '/define VDRVERSION/ { s/^.*"\(.*\)".*\$\$/\\1/; p }' \$(VDRDIR)/config.h)

### The name of the distribution archive:

ARCHIVE = \$(PLUGIN)-\$(VERSION)
PACKAGE = vdr-\$(ARCHIVE)

### Includes and Defines (add further entries here):

INCLUDES += -I\$(VDRDIR)/include

DEFINES += -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"\$(PLUGIN)"'

### The object files (add further files here):

OBJS = \$(PLUGIN).o

### Implicit rules:

%.o: %.c
	\$(CXX) \$(CXXFLAGS) -c \$(DEFINES) \$(INCLUDES) \$<

# Dependencies:

MAKEDEP = \$(CXX) -MM -MG
DEPFILE = .dependencies
\$(DEPFILE): Makefile

* fill in the code skeleton in "$PLUGIN_NAME.c" to implement your plugin function
* add further source files if necessary
* adapt the "Makefile" if necessary
* do "make plugins" from the VDR source directory to build your plugin
