Evoplex: Minimal Model

This is a minimum example of a model plugin for Evoplex. It has the essential files for you to create a new model plugin:

├── CMakeLists.txt
├── metadata.json
├── plugin.cpp
└── plugin.h

You do not need to touch the CMakeLists.txt file. Also, you must NOT rename any of those files.

👉 Note: you DO NOT need to compile Evoplex from source to be able to create plugins.

Installing dependencies

• If you compiled Evoplex from source, you already have all dependencies to compile a plugin and DO NOT have to install anything else.
• If you installed Evoplex from the binary packages, you will have to install the dependencies as follows:
  • Instructions for Linux
  • Instructions for MacOS
  • Instructions for Windows

Compiling this plugin

👉 if you compiled Evoplex from source in Debug mode, you should also compile your plugin in Debug mode.

👉 the plugin must be compiled with the same architecture (32/64 bits) of Evoplex.

from QtCreator

• Open the CMakeLists.txt
• In the projects page, make sure the EvoplexCore_DIR is set. If it shows EvoplexCore_DIR-NOTFOUND and you compiled Evoplex from source (eg., at ~/evoplex/build), set it to ~/evoplex/build/src/core/EvoplexCore/ as shown here.
• Build

from command line

Assuming you placed this repository at ~/evoplex/minimal-model and you are at ~/evoplex, just run the commands below:

mkdir build-plugin
cd build-plugin
cmake ../minimal-model
cmake --build .

When you run the cmake command, you might get an error like FindEvoplexCore.cmake not found. If you compiled Evoplex from source (eg., at ~/evoplex/build), just run the command below:

export EvoplexCore_DIR=~/evoplex/build/src/core/EvoplexCore/

Running this plugin

After compiling the plugin, open Evoplex, go to the Plugins page, click on import and select the plugin_minimal-model file at ~/evoplex/minimal-model/build/plugin/. The plugin will now be available in the Projects page.
