Writing a plugin

[Tom Vincent Peters]

Hello,

I just joined this list to ask what i have to do to add a simple (actor)
plugin to libvisual.
I want to add support for my self-made 5^3 LedCube and two other (8^3, 10^3)
cubes. Basically there'll be a 3D visualization of the cube and some code to
synchronize the animation with the real cube. All this would be no problem to
write if I knew how to add a plugin to libvisual.
I took libvisual-0.4-dev on my Debian system and a self-compiled version of
libvisual-plugins-0.4.0, to which I tried to add my plugin. I added my plugin-
directory to plugins/actor/Makefile.am. This failed (ran --configure in the main
directory, but plugin was not listed).
What do I have to do to add a plugin properly?

Sincerely, Tom

If you add a directory, you must also list it in configure.ac and rerun
automake and autoconf.
