### 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 directory environment:

# Use package data if installed...otherwise assume we're under the VDR source directory:
PKG_CONFIG ?= pkg-config
PKGCFG = \$(if \$(VDRDIR),\$(shell \$(PKG_CONFIG) --variable=\$(1) \$(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),\$(shell PKG_CONFIG_PATH="\$\$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:../../.." \$(PKG_CONFIG) --variable=\$(1) vdr))
LIBDIR = \$(call PKGCFG,libdir)
LOCDIR = \$(call PKGCFG,locdir)
PLGCFG = \$(call PKGCFG,plgcfg)
#
TMPDIR ?= /tmp

### The compiler options:

export CFLAGS   = \$(call PKGCFG,cflags)
export CXXFLAGS = \$(call PKGCFG,cxxflags)

### The version number of VDR's plugin API:

APIVERSION = \$(call PKGCFG,apiversion)

### Allow user defined options to overwrite defaults:

-include \$(PLGCFG)

### The name of the distribution archive:

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

### The name of the shared object file:

SOFILE = libvdr-\$(PLUGIN).so

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

INCLUDES +=

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

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

OBJS = \$(PLUGIN).o

### The main target:

all: \$(SOFILE) i18n

### Implicit rules:

* 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
