[Paraview] Not a valid QT plugin on windows

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Odd that only one of the two plugins get loaded.  Perhaps the server plugin is missing some symbols.  Try running the depends program on it and make sure it can find all of the dependent dlls.  Also make sure that the server manager initialization function is properly exported (I think it's called @PLUGIN_NAME at _Initialize).

You could also try wrapping the client and server code into the same plugin (with checks to dump the client code when the GUI is not built).  I have never liked the idea of having separate client & server plugins; they make loading the plugin more cumbersome and confusing rather than helpful.

Hi all,

I have two plugins for Paraview that used to work fine with ParaView 3.2
under linux (I used to build them at the same time as ParaView.)
Now I am using Visual Studio and have compiled the plugins outside of
paraview. I am able to generate dll for both the server and client plugins.
(I had to switch the vtkIO_EXPORTS flag on to build the dlls)
When I launch paraview, only the client side is loaded and when I try to
load the server side it fails with the message : " * is not a valid Qt
plugin" ...
I have found some threads dealing with this but nothing that I can try.
I have built ParaView and my plugins against the same version of Qt (4.4.3)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jacques
