<div dir="ltr">Just to make sure I am understanding the current state correctly, The <a href="https://github.com/lorensen/vtkAddon/blob/master/module.cmake">vtkAddon</a> module works fine, but your custom module doesn't.

<p>Hi Utkarsh,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have tried adding the path to my external module via PARAVIEW_EXTERNAL_MODULE_ROOTS in cmake. I am able to compile the module in VS2015 but it only creates a .dll file. Usually, at least from what I've seen with the other modules, a library is also created
which is needed to use the plugins in the modules. I have checked all the documentation and did a really simple module containing only a single plugin.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here is an overview of what it looks like:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>module.cmake:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>vtk_module(vtkSPXModule</div>
<div> GROUPS</div>
<div> StandAlone</div>
<div> DEPENDS</div>
<div> vtkCommonCore</div>
<div> vtkCommonDataModel</div>
<div> vtkCommonExecutionModel</div>
<div> vtkCommonMisc</div>
<div> vtkPVVTKExtensionsRendering</div>
<div> vtkFiltersGeneral</div>
<div> TEST_DEPENDS</div>
<div> vtkTestingCore</div>
<div> KIT</div>
<div> vtkRemote</div>
<div> )</div>
<br>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>and the Cmakelist.txt:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>set(Module_SRCS</div>
<div> <span class="m_-5718836203214106464Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>TestPlugin.cxx</div>
<div> )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>vtk_module_library(<wbr>vtkSPXModule ${Module_SRCS})</div>
<br>
<p></p>
<div><br>
</div>
I referred myself to this example that seemed to work <a href="https://github.com/lorensen/vtkAddon/blob/master/module.cmake" class="m_-5718836203214106464OWAAutoLink" id="m_-5718836203214106464LPlnk665108" target="_blank">
https://github.com/lorensen/<wbr>vtkAddon/blob/master/module.<wbr>cmake</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Overall, to make sure it's clear, I am able to compile the module and I'm able to see it in my solution. The problem is more so linked to the creation of the .lib that isn't being done. Any idea what could cause that?

<div>While plugins can have internal modules, it's really not designed to share those with other plugins. You have two options:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. combine both plugins into a single one.</div>
<div>2. make the module a standard ParaView/VTK module that added via PARAVIEW_EXTERNAL_MODULE_ROOTS CMake variable, then the two plugins can use the module just liek any other ParaView/VTK module.</div>

I created a custom plugin that I want to use in a second plugin. To do so, I want to create a module with the custom plugin to be able to use it in my second one.</p>

I also added my module in the VTKModule.cmake. I'm unsure why it is not generating a .lib since I can see the line add_library in the cmake file generated for vtkmodules with my module name.</p>
